What is a FeedBlitz Popup?

FeedBlitz is an email marketing service provider that makes it easy for you to send personalized emails in bulk.

With FeedBlitz, you can:

  • Segment subscribers to send targeted emails
  • Automate email sequences, like welcome campaigns or eCommerce follow-ups
  • Track real time data to check which subject lines and offers get the best results

But how do you collect your users’ email addresses in the first place?

The easiest way is to use a popup.

A FeedBlitz popup is a lead capture form that dims your site content to grab your visitor’s attention to your form. Using a popup form’s proven to grow an email list… exponentially!

But, only the right kind of popup is effective in growing your list.

And that’s where OptinMonster comes in.

OptinMonster is the best lead generation tool for you because it converts casual site visitors into email subscribers. It comes with everything you’ll need to create an eye-catching popup, including an easy-to-use drag and drop popup builder and 50+ built-in templates.

One million websites use OptinMonster to increase their leads.

OptinMonster uses powerful targeting features and eye-catching optin forms to fill your list with engaged subscribers. Those are the subscribers who are more likely to turn into paying customers.

And that’s when your email list becomes a powerful source of revenue for your business.

Danny Rusteen of OptimizeMyAirbnb increased the size of his email list 650% using OptinMonster. And after he built an engaged email list, he was able to launch a new product with confidence.

Here’s how OptinMonster turns your website into a lead generation machine:

  • Prebuilt templates: stunning templates that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • Campaign types: popups, fullscreen mats, inline campaigns, and more
  • Targeting: control exactly who sees your popup (like first-time visitors, customers, repeat visitors) and when they see it (like after 30 seconds, after X pageviews)
  • Triggers: display campaigns based on your site visitor’s behavior, such as Exit Intent, inactivity for a long time, and more.

And none of this is difficult or time-consuming.

One of the advantages of OptinMonster is you don’t need any coding or design skills to create attractive popups that convert.

Let’s get started.

How to Create a FeedBlitz Popup

Before we begin, you’ll need an OptinMonster account.

Don’t have one yet? Sign up for OptinMonster here. It’s risk-free with our 14-day money-back guarantee.

Step 1: Create OptinMonster Campaign

First, you need to log into your OptinMonster account.

From your dashboard, click Create New Campaign.

Create new OptinMonster campaign button

Now, you’ll need to choose a campaign type:

  • Fullscreen: covers your site visitor’s screen and is ideal for presenting a targeted offer
  • Slide-in scroll box: slides in from the bottom right corner of the page as the visitor scrolls down and gets great results for things like highlighting related products
  • Floating bar: a sticky header or footer that remains visible as your visitor scrolls and can be used to promote time-sensitive offers or sales

And so much more.

For this tutorial, we’ll go with Popup.

Choose OptinMonster Campaign Type

Next, we’ll choose a template.

All templates work well across desktop, phone, and tablet.

Plus, you can filter template by your campaign goal:

  • Grow email list
  • Redirect traffic
  • Target abandoning visitors
  • Time-sensitive offer

Today, we’ll go with Magnet, because it’s perfect for creating a popup that offers subscribers an incentive in exchange for their email addresses.

Now, it’s time to name your campaign and select Start Building.

You’re ready to design your FeedBlitz popup in the editor.

Step 2: Design FeedBlitz Popup

OptinMonster’s drag and drop editor makes it easy to create beautiful campaigns.

You can quickly customize everything about the template:

  • Colors
  • Fonts
  • Layout
  • Copy

That way you can build a popup that’s exactly matching your brand and business website.

To grow your list exponentially, you can also offer a lead magnet in your popup. A lead magnet is an incentive marketers offer people in exchange for their email addresses.

Typically, it’s a piece of downloadable content, like a checklist or ebook. You can find 69 effective lead magnet ideas to grow your list in this article.

Let’s start customizing our popup.

First, we’ll add an image of the free guide we’re offering.

Simply click on the image to pull up the editing tools on the left.

Edit Image Magnet Template

Next, we’ll edit the text.

We’ll include a strong headline and a clear description.

Next, we’ll customize the button to create a clear call to action.

Click the button on your optin form.

Now, it’s time to customize the display rules for your FeedBlitz popup.

Step 3: Customize Display Rules for FeedBlitz Popup

OptinMonster lets you show your popups to the right people at exactly the right time using targeting and trigger options.

Here’s how it works.

Triggers

Triggers show popups based on your visitor’s behavior:

  • Scroll trigger: only show campaigns after a user has scrolled a certain percentage of the page
  • Monsterlinks™: turn any image or link into a two-step optin with a link you can add to your site
  • InactivitySensor ™: target inactive visitors and turn them into subscribers with targeted offers

Targeting

Targeting lets you control who sees your popup campaigns:

  • Geo-location: show campaigns based on visitor’s physical location
  • OnSite Retargeting®: create special offers for returning visitors
  • Device-based targeting: create specific campaigns for desktop, mobile, and tablet

Today, we’ll focus on two powerful display rules:

  • Time on site
  • Exit Intent ®

Time on Site

Worried about annoying your site visitors with poorly timed popups?

Poorly timed popups interrupt your site visitor with irrelevant offers.

The solution is to show your popup campaign right when your visitor is most engaged.

OptinMonster makes it easy to do that with Timed Display Control.

Time display triggers let you show your campaigns at the perfect moment after your visitor has browsed your site but just before they leave.

To set up a time triggered popup, head over to Display Rules.

OptinMonster display rules

Choose Time on Site.

Exit intent

More than 70% of site visitors who abandon your site will never come back.

An exit popup gives you one last chance to get their email address with a targeted offer.

Exit intent shows a popup as the visitor moves their mouse towards the browser bar on desktop. On mobile, it’s triggered when the visitor scrolls up or hits the back button.

Customers who use exit popups increase conversions between 2 to 4%.

Neil Strauss used exit intent to grow his email list and increase conversions by 125%.

Under the Display Rules tab, select Exit Intent.
