Everyone hates popups.

But they still work incredibly well to grow your list.

Here are some pleasing examples to make popups stand out in your marketing(and be less annoying):

1/ Marketing Examples Newsletter

Why is it good?

Very personal and human - He starts with “Hey, I’m Harry”.

Social proof: 58,780 marketers + familiar marketing experts quotes.

He sets expectations with “Once a month with USP - Short, sweet, and practice”

2/ Customer Camp Scorecard

Why is it good?

Hits the key problem in your face - “Stop chasing the wrong customers”.

Offer: Free scorecard (something unique)

CTA: Value-driven

3/ Ecommerce Popups

Why is it so good?

It’s the offer: 15% off (normally it is 10%) + free shipping + free returns (wow).

Most e-commerce popups suck because usually the offer sucks.

4/ Email list growth popup

Why is it so good?

Offer: Teaching how to sell.

Copy: *want in on magic* - it evokes curiosity, he sends something special. I want to see it

Bonus: Check out the privacy policy ;)

5/ A Simple Newsletter Opt-in

Why is it so good?

It answers the objection upfront with testimonials that deliver the value of opting in.

It’s simple and effective.

6/ Ecommerce Popup leading with education.

Why is it soo good?

Offering a transformation by joining the list.

Copy like - “you’re going to have perfect skin”.

Who does not want that?

7/ Email list growth for writers & bloggers

Why is it so good?

Copy used: “easy” and “proven” to get good habits.

Offer: Free chapter

Social proof: New York Times bestselling book

This popup makes me feel guilty for not giving my email.

8/TL;DR

- Add social proof
- Use a great copy
- Offer something they can't refuse
- Generate curiosity
- Entice visitors with a transformation
- Set right expectations what they’ll be getting
