Execution Checklist:
-
Customers prefer to buy from an e-commerce site that offers the ultimate user experience.
-
Generally, these people don’t like to see many popups because they’re intrusive and prevent them from browsing your site completely.
-
Therefore, you should only continue showing them the popup if they didn’t subscribe to your list. Otherwise, set your popup to not show when they’re already subscribers.
