Implement exit pop-ups.

So how did we do it?   Leadpages exit pop-ups is the tool we implemented.  There also other very reputable alternatives on the market such as Opt-in Monster and Sumo. Go check them all out to see which would be best for your strategy.

It is a real advantage to own a business in the digital marketing age. There is an ample selection of measuring tools on the marketing that can cut down on waste while allowing your business to precisely target your the customer for cheap! 

For example, if you have a website, you should have Google Analytics installed. You can use the data in the audience fields and in the behavior fields to really understand your website’s visitors and their interests. You can uncover opportunities that will motivate people to inquire, refer, or engage with your business.

Did we mention Google Analytics is a free tool?! A wealth of knowledge about your website visitors is easily accessible and it costs you nothing!
