Your questions, answered

How can I capture more leads before Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Offer early access or VIP signups to create a waiting list. Wisepops data show that popups promoting VIP early access increase pre-sale email captures by up to 3× compared to standard email capture popups, creating a qualified audience ready to convert when the Black Friday sale begins.

What types of onsite campaigns work best for BFCM?

High-performing campaigns include deal-of-the-hour offers, exit-intent cart recovery workflows, AI product recommendations based on browsing history and viewed items, advent calendars, and gamified campaigns like spin-to-win. Stores using these tactics often see engagement lift by 2–3× versus generic site messaging.

How do I recover abandoned carts during BFCM?

Trigger exit-intent popups (including with AI) when shoppers attempt to leave. Highlight what they’re leaving behind and consider adding a limited-time incentive if needed. Our A/B experiment research indicates that strategically timed exit offers can recover a noticeable portion of abandoned carts, with some campaigns lifting checkout completion by double-digit percentages.

Can I personalize campaigns for different BFCM visitors?

Yes. Show different messages based on website behavior, shopping history, location, device, referral source, or your Shopify store data like customer tags. Wisepops data shows targeted campaigns drive significantly higher engagement than generic popups, helping marketers reach the right visitors with the right offer at the right time.

How can I create urgency during BFCM without annoying visitors?

Countdown timers, limited-quantity alerts, or deal-of-the-hour campaigns create effective urgency. A/B experiments found that timing popups 40–50 seconds after page load or at scroll depth triggers captured the most attention while keeping exit rates low.

How do I optimize BFCM campaigns for mobile?

Our research shows that mobile-optimized popups—short copy, clear CTAs, and responsive layouts—substantially increase engagement compared to desktop-only designs. In Wisepops, every template is mobile-optimized, so there’s no need to create dedicated campaigns for desktop and mobile.

How can I increase the average order value during BFCM?

Use AI-powered product recommendations or “frequently bought together” suggestions. Tests across hundreds of popup campaigns found that these recommendations consistently lifted average order value by 5–7% without additional discounts, helping stores maximize revenue naturally.

Are multi-step popup campaigns effective for BFCM?

Yes.

Progressive forms that capture emails, phone numbers, and preferences in multiple steps saw up to 45% more signups than single-step forms in Wisepops experiments, while keeping friction low for visitors.

How do I measure the effectiveness of BFCM campaigns?

Track clicks, signups, conversions, and attributed revenue. Wisepops data consistently shows that revenue per visitor is the most reliable metric, allowing marketers to see which campaigns truly drive BFCM sales and optimize in real time.
