Ep 18 How to Effectively Use Email and SMS Capture Pop-Ups to Grow Your Customer Lists with Csaba Zajdo

The Ecommerce Revolution Podcast

Website pop-ups are so popular because they’re still the most effective way to capture leads. When you create meaningful and relevant pop-ups that show the right message to the right people at the right moment, your conversion rates could top 40%. Website pop-ups are more reliable for keeping in touch with your visitors, especially when you capture their SMS numbers for direct marketing.

In this episode, Ramin Ramhormozi and Csaba Zajdo talk about effectively using email and SMS capture pop-ups to grow your customer lists. Despite popular belief, pop-ups don’t impact your site speed. In the same way as your email marketing, your pop-ups should be personal and highly-targeted pop-ups for maximum engagement. They also talk about using A/B testing to ensure you’re finding the right message for your customers - otherwise, you risk leaving money on the table. Csaba’s best advice on ad spend? If you spend at least $100 on any ad campaign, the best ROI comes if you create a separate landing page and pop-up for that ad.
