Exit Pop-up:

A Pop-up  which appears when a visitor is trying to leave a website without having done what the site was intended to make him do, that is, order a product , subscribe to a mailing list etc.

The Exit Pop-up has to grab the visitor's attention and present him an alternative offer to the one on the site which he obviously didn't like enough to take action. To make a leaving visitor change his mind Exit Pop-ups often contain a strong incentive to take the alternative offer. This can be offering a discount on the sales price or a gift in exchange for opting-in to a mailing list. Very advanced scripts even try to involve the visitor in a chat and this way quite often safe the sale.

Example of an Exit Pop-up on www.automatedconversions.com. This Cindy, by the way, is not a live person but a script programmed to automatically answer most of the questions a leaving visitor would ask. This brand new kind of automated sales agent in form of an Exit Popup is said to increase sales conversions up to 40%.

[ Pop originally is imitative, resembling a short sound when something is hit; later, together with suffixes –up or -off the meaning was extended to “something appearing suddenly”]
