Pop-Ups
Sendlane's lightweight but powerful Pop-Ups are customizable opt-in forms that can be embedded on your website to collect leads without compromising your website's load time.
It's estimated that 96% of website visitors are not ready to make a purchase during their visit. It is critical to capture your visitors' email addresses in order to target them with content that aligns with their interests and preferences so that your brand has visibility when they are ready to purchase!
🚦 Before Getting Started
- Create a List for Contacts to be added to when they submit your Pop-Up
