Hi,
I recently saw a lot of website has this function, if you are leaving their webpage or site, there'll be a dialogue popping up saying something like: If you hit cancel button, we'll have more discount for you. Does anyone know how to set this up?

Thanks.
Johnny

    I personally don't recommend this in any site it's very annoying and cheeky you can use other ideas to grab your visitors attention but if you really want something like this read this post will explain hopefully everything for you it is all done using javascript.

    try this i got I copied it from another post.

    Use a blur console that opens the pop up behind your page. It will stay there until manually closed down. The blur javascript is very easy.
    <script language="javascript">
    <!-- Hide script from older browsers
    if(navigator.appName.indexOf("WebTV")==-1){
    myWin=open('','winin','toolbar=0,menubar=0,scrollb ars=0,status=0,resizable=0,width=450,height=140');
    myWin.blur();
    myWin.location = 'your url page here';
    }
    // end hiding contents -->

    Stick that in between Head and Head and you have a pop up that doesnt intrude to much on the surfers experince.
    Problem: You can only use one (On each page?) - but more than one pop up is a waste. Also many surfers are turning off their javascipts - so the days of the pop ups are probably numbered.
    Finally, most people are oblivious to pop ups - I for one rarely read them. I close them before they even are fully "popped up".
    Hope this helps.
    By the way can you use this on more than one page - so you have a blur pop up on each page. I dont have time to try it.
    Regards

    Hi,

    Yeah this annoys me every time I try to leave a site. It makes me less likely to want to visit that site again. That said there are lots online and you can do a quick search for "Virtual Agent" or "Virtual Smart Agents" - You'll find lots like this - Virtual Smart Agent | Automated Chat Sales Associate for Your Website! | Website Conversion Software

    Cheers

    Hello, you can use a custom script pop-up to do this but they are almost always a burden to repeat visitors. And they can sometimes pop randomly.

    I suggest you use Upsellit they have a lot of cool features that you can add to your site to increase conversion with lots of user control.

    If you decide to use this service, make sure you set the pop-up to only show up on the first visit only.

    Let me know if this helps, thanks!
