Do you want to add a popup to your Jimdo website?

Popups are an effective way to communicate with your audience. And using popups can help you to grow your email list, drive website traffic, and increase sales.

But crafting the right kind of popup campaign takes time.

That’s why we’re covering the fastest, simplest way to add a Jimdo popup to your site.

By the end of this article, you’ll know exactly how to create a Jimdo popup that converts.

Why Add a Jimdo Popup

A Jimdo popup is a lead capture form that’s specifically designed to grab your audience’s attention when they land on your site. It typically appears on top of a webpage, covering the content behind it.

Why put all that effort into getting emails?

Once you’ve built an engaging email audience, you can share content and updates with your subscribers. Over time, and with the right emails, you can build a long-lasting relationship and convert your visitors into paying customers.

That’s not all you can do with popups.

Popup campaigns have different goals:

• Share important business information: Changing your store hours? Offering free shipping? Use a popup to display this information.
• Reduce shopping cart abandonment: Show a custom popup on the checkout page to convince users to engage with your offer when a customer abandons the cart
• Redirect traffic: Page redirects will take your visitor to a new post or product page. This way, you can send visitors to related products or posts.
• Offer lead magnet download: What’s a common customer problem? Give your site visitors a piece of content that responds to that need.
• Present coupon codes: Offer discounts for products your site visitors are interested in.

Of course, popups only work if they’re highly targeted. On the other hand, generic campaigns are more likely to irritate your visitors.

You want to show the perfect offer to the right visitor at the right time.

OptinMonster makes it incredibly easy for you to add a targeted popup to your Jimdo website.

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Create an OptinMonster Campaign

Once you’ve logged into your OptinMonster account, you need to choose Create Campaign from the dashboard.

Now, select your campaign type.

There are 6 different campaign types.

All work well in different contexts:

• Popup
• Floating Bar
• Fullscreen
• Inline
• Slide-in
• Gamified

Today, we’ll go with Popup. And this will display a lead capture popup over your Jimdo site’s content.

Now, we’ll need to choose a template.

There are tons of attractive options.

Need help deciding which template to choose?

Try narrowing your search with these filters:

• Campaign goal: grow email list, target abandoning visitors, redirect traffic, or time sensitive offer
• Category: professional services, marketer, or store owner

Or, you can design you own popup from scratch with our Canvas template. No code required.

All templates work across computer, tablet, and smartphone.

Today, we’ll go with Magnet because it’s perfect for the lead magnet we’re offering. A lead magnet is an incentive you give to site visitors in exchange for their email address.

Again, it’s usually a piece of downloadable content that solves a common reader problem.

Popular lead magnet types include:

• Ebook
• Guide
• Checklist
• Cheat sheet

Do lead magnets work?

Step 3: Display Your Jimdo Popup

OptinMonster shows popups based on your site visitor’s behavior and interests.

For example, you can create special popups for visitors depending on their physical location or the device they’re using.

And so much more.

OptinMonster does this with targeted campaigns and campaign triggers.

Here are examples of targeting rules:

• Show a targeted offer as a visitor is about to leave your store
• Offer a discount for a product someone’s looking at
• Display a popup only after a visitor has spent some time engaging with your content
• Show targeted messages based on which site the visitor is coming from, like from a specific social network
• Create special promotions for returning visitors
• Display tailored offers to existing subscribers using cookie retargeting

Today, we’ll look at two display rules, Scroll Distance and Page-Level Targeting.

Scroll Distance 

The Scroll Trigger shows your popup after your visitor has scrolled down a certain amount of your webpage. These scroll-triggered boxes are proven to reduce bounce rate and increase visitor retention.

This targeting rule works because your visitor has already made a commitment to engaging with your content.

First, you need to head over to Display Rules at the top of the editor.

Next, find and select Scroll Distance.

Now you need to choose scroll depth.

Next, choose the modifier. You can choose between percentage scrolled and pixels.

Page Targeting 

Imagine your site visitor is reading an article about growing their web traffic and you showed a popup on that page offering a free ebook on boosting web traffic. Your users are more likely to engage with the popup because the lead magnet offers what your user is interested in.

That’s the kind of refined targeting you can do with Page Targeting.

Flywheel increased engagement 660% using Page Level Targeting.

From the Display Rules tab, select Page Targeting.

Choose the page where you want to show your campaign.

In the next step, you’ll publish your Jimdo popup.

Step 4: Integrate OptinMonster and Jimdo

All that’s left now is to integrate OptinMonster with your Jimdo site.

For that, we only need to paste one embed code onto our Jimdo site.

Head over to Publish at the top of your editor.

Now, switch the campaign status to Live.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and copy the embed code.

First, log in to your Jimdo admin area.

Hover over the section of the page where you want to place your embed code and select +Add Element.

Select  Widget/HTML.

You’ll see a text box appear. Paste the embed code. Go ahead and click Save.

That’s it! Now, your lead capture popup will appear on your Jimdo site.
