Smart Barconversion
SumoMe's Smart Bar sits at the top of any page you want it to appear on and can be used for many purposes. From allowing your visitors to join your newsletter to linking them to your site, you can pick exactly what you want to show on your site. A smart bar is much less aggressive and more effective than email capture exit intent or scroll boxes.Example: our blog has a top bar that directs you to our homepage with a single click.

USPs Above The Foldconversion
Displaying the unique selling points of your offering above the fold can increase activation. Often times the hero copy, in size 30pt font or larger works best. This allows users to quickly determine whether the product is relevant to them before they waste any more time on your site. Alternatively they would typically get confused and leave anyway.

Reduced Single CTAconversion
Multiple call to action buttons can confuse visitors. Try reducing the number of CTAs on any given page to drive visitors to the most important one. If your landing page is meant to drive registrations to your app, including a CTA for your newsletter alongside your registration buttons will serve to divert visitor attention away from your primary CTA.

Search Page Destinationconversion
Increase conversion rate by sending traffic to a specific landing page that matches the ad messaging/creative. There are very few instances when you should send someone to your homepage, generally you want people to take an action and homepages are full of distractions, AND they have too many variables that won't match your ad copy/creative. Best practice is always to match the ads messaging/creative with the landing pages messaging/creative: this increases the relevancy and the quality score of the ad, which often increases CVR while decreasing CPC. Win-win!

Right Side CTA Landing Pageconversion
Place your call to action form or button on the right side of your landing page to increase activation. Focusing on the right side of your landing page rather than the center, especially when the form remains visible while scrolling down the page, keeps registration forms and CTA buttons above the fold and easily accessible for visitors. This reduces friction between reading your marketing copy and signing up for a demo or free account.

Exit Intent Popupconversion
Try showing a popup on exit or after a specific amount of time on page to get emails. If your blog or website is getting a lot of visitors, but not generating a lot of emails, you should offer readers the opportunity to engage more fully with your content before they leave the page. A Wordstream case study showed that using an exit popup reduced bounce rate by over 60% and increased time on page by over 50%. SumoMe has a great tool that makes building your exit popup easy.

SumoMe Welcome Matconversion
Showing a large, minimalist call to action on arrival using welcome mat can yield large activation rates. In some cases we've seen 10%-30% conversion rates to email signup! Be sure to test different variations of design and copy as it can make a big difference to performance. If you find this too intrusive for the first visit, it can still be very effective if shown on visit 2 or on the 2nd page visited.

Remove Registration Stepconversion
Removing unnecessary steps from registration can improve signup rate. Asking a user for their last name may not necessary to register, so leave it until the onboarding phase post-registration. Remove any steps that might slow down a person’s registration process and gather the information for fields you’ve removed after they’ve already signed up for an account.

Scroll Boxconversion
Add an email capture box that appears on scroll. Maybe you don’t want to flash an email signup form right in your visitors faces immediately as they view your page. A kinder, gentler option is to have your signup form exist in a box that shows as you scroll down the page-- this way they’ll see it after they’ve finished reading your post or product page. Buffer talks about how they doubled their email list using this tactic, and Sumo Me has a great tool for implementing it.

Offering a piece of content for an email address can improve activation rates. Create a PDF or eBook out of some longform piece of content you have on your blog, or write a whitepaper or special piece of content specifically for the offer. Then, gate it behind an email capture form to get visitors interested enough to want to give you their emails or register for an account to get it.

Landing Page Phone Numberconversion
Adding a phone number to a signup page can improve conversion over just asking for email. This works in our experience because people are much more likely to answer their phone vs opening an email, and are again much more likely to convert after talking on the phone vs clicking from an email. This does however tend to decrease the landing page conversion rate to form submission, because people are less likely to give their number. So make sure you track whether the dip in form submission is worth the higher conversion rate to purchase.

Longer Landing Pageconversion
A longer, more scrollable landing page might end up giving visitors more of a reason to convert. Short landing pages give less information by design, so a longer page will let you better space out and elaborate on your product copy. Test a longer landing page against a shorter one to see which works best.

Informal Copy Popupconversion
Using informal, conversational, or friendly language on a popup can be a good way of collecting more email addresses. Informal language lets your popups convey a more exciting message about your product or offering, catching the attention of visitors and driving them to sign up for your email list.

Test different body copy for your landing page, using different terms, formats, length, and amounts to see which approach drives the highest conversion rate. Iterate on your most successful body copy while getting rid of underperforming copy, A/B testing along the way to understand how well your new body copy works compared to old versions.

Time-Delay List Builderconversion
Rather than the default 'exit intent' popup, you can try showing your email popup at a certain number of seconds after the user hits your site. A time-delay list builder popup is typically shown to many more people than an exit intent popup so it can be a good way to improve number of activations. You should also experiment with how many seconds to wait, as it can make a big difference to activations and the quality of the leads you get.

Sliders might seem fun and interesting, but in reality they can negatively affect conversion and bounce rates. This is because they can dramatically lower page loading time, cause “banner blindness” and push your content below the fold.

43
Fewer Form Fieldsconversion
When creating sign-up forms, having too many fields can actually decrease sign-up rate. Optimize your forms to only ask for information necessary to the registration process. This decreases the amount of effort and attention a user has to invest into signing up and will result in increased sign-ups and form submissions. Remember that you can also ask for the information in the fields you remove during onboarding or at a later stage in your relationship with that user/client.

Fear Of Missing Outconversion
Fear of missing out (FOMO) can be a strong driving point to inspire action in an individual. Showing a visitor to your site that they’re missing out on something that everyone else is buying into is an effective way to get them to buy in. Adding a deadline to the sign-up or purchase process is an additional consequence that people will want to avoid by acting. Use tools like Ryan Kulp's Fomo to set up a quick and easy social proof prompt.

Premium Upsell Emailconversion
Upgrade emails drive users to switch from free to paid accounts, or from lower-tier to higher-tier accounts. This works via the psychology of loss aversion. Basically, people feel a sense of ownership over something they possess, even if it was given to them for free. People are naturally disinclined to give up something they possess, and will pay to keep it-- and so, upselling on a product they already use can be very effective.

Personal Vs. Generic Pageconversion
Increase conversion by sending traffic to a more relevant page. Engagement rises when landing page content more directly matches ad content. A page that’s more personalized for the audience that you’re driving to it is more likely to relate to the call to action and the message you’re trying to convey. Rather than directing to your landing page, for example, link to a contextual page based on the ad copy. I.e. webinar ad leads to webinar signup page.

Hide an enticing piece of content behind a simple requirement for an email address to encourage visitors to give you their contact information. Later you’ll be able to reach out to them in a sales email, pointing back to the piece of content you gave away as a starting point for the conversation.

Button Colorconversion
Test a new call to action button color to improve conversions. Many studies have been done on the effects of call to action button color on conversions. And while it is clear that button color plays a significant role, there are many factors that determine which button color works best for your site (psychology, industry, brand colors, etc). Take these factors into consideration and A/B test a few different options to determine the call to action color that maximizes your conversion rate.

Telling Who It's Forconversion
Taking a precision approach to targeting your audience can be very rewarding. Sometimes if you’re targeting everyone, you’re targeting no one. With that in mind, one option is to tell your audience exactly who your product is intended for. This can be a risk/reward play: on one hand, you will immediately disqualify a segment of your potential customers, but on the other hand, you might create a more personal connection with customers who do fall into the categories you’ve targeted.

Big Purchase Discountconversion
Try offering a discount, free shipping promotion, or free returns to customers who make purchases over a certain price threshold. This encourages them to spend more to get perks and will result in larger purchases more regularly.

Checkout Page Redesignconversion
If funnel analysis shows that a majority of users are dropping at the checkout stage, a re-design of the UX/UI of the page might be in order. Take into account the important information and how the layout can be re-arranged to promote simplicity and easy conversion. Some places where this can be tested is through CTAs promoting next steps, overhauling form boxes, and minimizing how much information is needed to successfully complete an order.

Success Page Upsellconversion
The success page is not only a great space to show some brand personality, it is also an effective space for generating additional revenue. Users who have happily converted once are more willing to do so again. For example, once a user signs up for the free version of your product ask them if they would like to view the additional features of your paid service. (Note: don't be too overt with the upsell or customers might be turned off by your pushiness.)

Anchoring Priceconversion
Instead of simply providing a price up front, use an anchoring price to make potential customers think that they’re getting a better deal on an item. For example, having a slashed suggested retail price alongside a lower “Current” price can drive visitors to buy while they think that an item is going for a lower than normal price. This can often lead people to pay for a higher priced product.

Seasonal Discountconversion
Try offering a discount to purchases within a specific season / holiday. This tactic is often paired with the "Seasonal Email" tactic, as seasonally themed promotions, events, new items, etc. are an easy way to reconnect/engage your subscriber list to keep your brand top-of-mind.

Upfront Progressconversion
People are more driven to finish a task as it nears completion. This is known as the Goal Gradient Effect. An example of this working in real-time is a sandwich shop giving away a punch card that offers a free sandwich after your tenth purchase, but with the first two holes punched. People consistently prefer completing eight tasks with two done for them over eight tasks with none done for them. Giving your customers the feeling of making progress will have a positive effect on their experience.

Unbounce Embeddable CTAsconversion
Creating Embeddable CTAs via Unbounce allows for a more flexible exit intent popup for an Unbounce-based landing page (vs. SumoMe's low edit capacity in terms of dimensions, layout, font integration, etc.). Having all of this in-house with the basis of Unbounce's integrations AND the ability to have popups span across entire domains will streamline the embeddable CTA capabilities and lead to more conversions.

If your leads aren't the best quality because they're personal email addresses, try asking for asking for a "Work Email".This can help bring the email address most valuable to you.

Basket Abandonment Emailconversion
Send an email to users who add a product to their shopping cart, but don’t buy. As per the Baymard Institute, the average cart abandonment rate is 68.63%. That may seem like an extremely high number-- but you can get those users to follow through on the purchasing process. Put simply, follow-up with users who abandon their cart has to be an integral part of marketing strategy, due to how often it occurs.

Softer Promptsconversion
Throwing up a modal window is a good way to get attention, but they can be a turnoff for visitors. They might be inconvenient to navigate around, they might cause other processes the user is doing to stop, or they might simply just be a cause of annoyance for a user. Try a subtler prompt, and you might find happier users.

Reviews Social Proofconversion
Try adding customer ratings and reviews on your site. This is one of the most credible ways to build trust. The perfect place to put these reviews is just below the buy button. Don't make the mistake of faking reviews - users typically go to great lengths to validate the reviews are real and will quickly abandon the purchase if that trust is broken.

Third-Party Searchconversion
Try working out an affiliate deal with a search engine in your industry. For example, if you’re running a job search advice blog, you can provide users with in-site access to Indeed’s job search engine as an affiliate partner. You’ll be able to further monetize your traffic through a pay-per-click model via a relevant and useful service for your visitors.

Shorten Listings Pageconversion
Try shortening your listings page and focusing it on the products or CTAs you're trying to get your visitors to see. For example, if you have a large banner on your homepage that takes up half a user's screen, try shrinking it down when they go to your listings page. This can help you determine if your page is too long and is costing you conversions. A/B test against your current page design to determine if the shorter page performs better.

Audience Size Expansion (Facebook OCPM)conversion
oCPM (optimised Cost Per Mille) bidding at Ad Set level on Facebook allows Facebook to optimize the impressions it shows to drive more of the conversions you specify for a fixed budget. This is generally one of the most efficient ways to bid on Facebook, because it allows Facebook to use all of the data points available to the Ads Platform to spend as much money as possible - and Facebook knows you will only continue to spend that money if the results are good.In order for Ad Sets to improve performance Facebook generally recommend that targetable audience size should be > 1 million and the Ad Set should be driving >25 conversions per day. If the audience size is too small it should be increased to allow Facebook to optimize effectively.

Email Course Call To Actionconversion
Email courses are great for B2B companies that strive to first educate potential customers before making sales. Send out a series of automated emails at constant intervals that build upon each other. Think of an email course as being similar to a blog series. (Hint: at the end of the course ask using to sign up for a free account.)

Price Illusionsconversion
Breaking prices down to a per-unit price can make the product seem a lot less expensive. By doing so, you help customers judge the value and affordability of your product based on how low the per-unit price rather than on the total cost of the product. This is especially useful in situations where you’re selling monthly subscriptions or larger item bundles. Showing customers how much they can save by increasing their up-front purchase is an effective way to increase conversion.
