Even though there are many kinds of exit splash software, they all fall into two main sections.

With an exit grabber, a hover window pops up with the user moves the mouse toward the top of the browser window; the user isn’t trapped because he can exit the hover window or type in the address field.

Exit lockers — those are the gray windows style pop ins or the little chat window which comes into lock you in place and you have to x out of them before you can leave the page.  As an Internet user and web browser obviously those that lock me onto the page can be a bit annoying especially when it’s an offer which doesn’t interest me.  Having to click on OK and then usually the next screen which says click OK to continue or cancel to go back to the page means 2 extra clicks for me when I wanted to get off of the page.

On the other hand, as a website operator similar to Dave Guindon, I want a chance to dazzle the people visiting my website.  So the question is “how do I do this with out annoying them?”

Of course, I have made reference to this before, but surely you want to validate the exit splash offer for your own needs.  I know some of the websites I visit do a good job and if they do an exceptional job I take notes see what I can apply to my own sites. As always you want to test a number of different exit offers to see which your users like best, basically what they respond to best.

To improve your own business, you can use this so called ‘exit lock‘ feature which will help keep people as your site.

You’ve spent lots of time and maybe your hard-earned money so getting a second chance to capture your visitors and make more ROI only helps your business.
