Wherever you are in your list growth journey, Postscript’s Popup Editor makes website subscriber acquisition fast and easy. Use our code-free, responsive, drag-and-drop editor to create visually appealing desktop and mobile popups.
Postscript popups are a compliant and powerful way to convert site visitors to SMS subscribers so you can nurture them with a personalized SMS program throughout the customer lifecycle.
In this article, we guide you through how to create a mobile and desktop popup with Postscript’s new popup editor.
Create a Mobile or Desktop Popup
- From your Postscript Dashboard, select Acquisition. Then, select Popups.
- In the upper-right corner of the page, select Create.
- You will be directed to the Popup Template Library where you can choose from any of our professionally designed templates (Some templates may have a Recommended tag. These popups perform exceptionally well according to data we’ve collected).
- At the top of the editor, you will see the popup steps. By default, each template automatically includes:
- A micro-yes step to grab the visitor’s attention and incentivize them to continue into the popup
- The Onsite Opt-in phone collection and one-time password step
- An email collection step
- A thank you/completion step
- And a Teaser which displays how the popup will look when minimized
- Each step can be dragged into a new order to match the flow you’d like to use
- At the top right of the editor, you will find a toggle button that allows you to switch between Mobile and Desktop views of your popup.
- In the next section, we'll guide you through how to manage the behavior, targeting, theme, and layers of your popup.
Customize Your Popup
At the bottom left of the editor, you will find button icons for Settings, Theme Styles, Layers, and Add Block. Let's walk through each.
Under Behavior, you can define when and where your popup appears. Set a Time Delay, and Include or Exclude pages where you want your popup to display.
Within Targeting, you can define the audience that will see your popup Filter by Subscriber status and Location
The Message tab allows you to edit the text message that will be sent to a subscriber after they opt-in with your popup.
Theme styles allow you to make global changes. In other words, edits you make in this section will reflect throughout each step of the popup, so you only have to make these changes once. Mobile and Desktop images will need to be replaced separately due to the differing aspect ratios required within each.
Theme Styles also allows you to add custom fonts to your popup.
-
- To add a custom font, navigate to the Text dropdown, and locate the Font field within Theme styles.
- Select + Add Font located at the top of the dropdown menu
- You will be prompted to add a link to a web-hosted font.
- Note: Accepted file types are .woff, .woff2, .ttf and .otf.
Within Layers, you are able to easily navigate through each element of your popup and utilize the drag-and-drop functionality to move elements around.
If you are collecting emails, you will want to set up Email Forwarding.
- Navigate to your email collection step.
- Select Layers at the bottom left of your screen.
- Select Email input.
- At the top of the Nnvigation pane, you will see Settings.
- Ensure Forward to email app box is checked.
- Select your connected ESP in the Email app field.
- Select the email list from your selected email service provider you’d like the emails collected from this popup to be forwarded to.
Add Blocks allows you to include additional elements like a text box, heading, image, button, email input, or container to your design by dragging and dropping the desired element into your popup.
Once you're satisfied with your popup design and functionality, navigate to the activation toggle at the top right of your screen. Click the toggle to move it to the Active position. And you're all set to begin collect subscirbers with your Postscript popup!
