What’s new in Popup Builder Social 2.3
What it does
Many visitors read a page and leave without sharing it, even when they liked what they saw. This plugin addresses that by placing a share prompt in front of them at a chosen moment. The popup can point people to networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and it works for promoting an offer, a useful article or a new product. The goal is a gentle nudge that turns a quiet visit into a share without getting in the reader's way.
Setup centers on events and display rules. You pick a trigger, for example a timer, exit intent or user inactivity, then configure general and popup-specific settings so the popup appears politely and only when you want it to. A live preview shows how the popup will look before it goes live, so you can adjust the design first. Once configured, the popups run on their own, which fits site owners who want ongoing share prompts without managing them by hand.
Best for
- Bloggers who want readers to share their posts
- Small businesses promoting offers and product launches
- Marketers growing social reach from website traffic
Features
Display popups that invite visitors to share your content and offers on social networks, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Set a popup to appear after a visitor has spent a chosen amount of time on a page, so the prompt shows once they have engaged.
Show the share popup when a visitor appears to be leaving the page, giving you one more chance to ask for a share.
Bring up the popup after a visitor has been inactive for a while, a quieter moment that is less likely to interrupt reading.
Adjust overall popup behavior across the site and fine-tune settings for individual popups to match different pages and goals.
Configure popups to appear gently so they respect your visitors' attention and keep the browsing experience comfortable.
See how a social popup will look before publishing it, which makes it easier to tweak the design and catch problems early.
After you configure your popups, they keep showing to visitors on their own without needing manual attention day to day.
