This is a marketing device that will blow your socks off! Its click through rate will beat all of your banners, buttons and text links put together and then some. It's called a pop up window and it is super easy to install.
Pop up windows are those little (sometimes not so little) windows that suddenly pop open when you are either entering or leaving a site.
They are extremely powerful marketing devices because they cannot be ignored. Your visitor must take some action when that window pops opens. Even if their first reaction is a move to close the window, you have captured their attention for a second or two. If your message is strong enough, that second or two is all it takes to get a click through.
Like to put one on your site? No problem. Installing a pop up window is an easy task even for the HTML challenged. Just follow this simple two step process.
First - you need to place the message you want to appear in the pop up window on a page of your web site. Make sure this message is the only content on that page.
Second - copy and paste the following code in between the <body> and </body> tags in the code of the page you want the window to pop open from.
-start of code-
<script language="JavaScript" for="window"
event="onload()">window.open
("http://www.yourwebpage.com", "myannouncer",
"scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,height=230,width=380")
</script>
-end of code-
Be sure to replace the "yourwebpage.com" part with the address of the page you want to appear in the pop up window.
You can change the size of the pop up by changing the height and width attributes. You may have to play around with this a little before you get it exactly right.
The above code will cause the pop up to open when a visitor enters your site. You can change it to open when they leave your site by changing the "onload()" to "unload()" in the "event=" attribute.
Wasn't that easy? You have just added a very powerful marketing tool to your site.
The uses of a pop up window are limited only by your imagination and marketing aptitude. They are commonly used for:
- Announcing special promotions
- Signing up subscribers to your ezine
- Promoting your opt in mailing list
- Promoting your other sites
What ever you end up using your pop up for, it will be a strong addition to your marketing arsenal.
