  • Advanced Options Gallore

    This plugin is an excellent alternative to all the WP popup plugins out there as it is cheaper and has many more options. I really enjoy their templates as it saves me time and their popup trigger option based on a custom field change.

  • Great conversion plugin!

    I started using this plugin a year ago after testing out a couple of others like it, and this one was definitely my favorite. The free version has everything you need as a small business: just simple conversion numbers and percentages of those completing the action you ask it to record. Our primary use for it is to encourage visitors to sign up for our eNewsletter. When we did our conversion rate for signups jumped 5x when not using a conversion popup builder at all.My only (albeit minor) complaint is with the builder itself. It's not 100% intuitive - but all you need is a few minutes and you'll navigate around it like a pro. Also, occasionally what you build is not completely reflective of what you'll see when testing the popup on mobile devices. Something about the mobile version of the popup may not scale correctly depending on a device's screen size, but a little trial and error solves the issue just fine in a matter of a few clicks and browser refreshes, which you would want to do anyway to make sure everything is in working order, so no biggie.Thanks, Brave! Great plugin.
