Popups can be one of the easiest and most useful ways to get key information for your business from people visiting your website. But unfortunately, they can also be one of the most annoying user experiences.
Ensuring that your popups gather valuable information rather than irritating users requires two things (at least): careful consideration on your part of what you need to know and why users will ultimately benefit from responding, and a well-designed, user-friendly popup design.
The first is up to you; but we think we can help with the second! So below we’ll walk through some of the best no-code popup form tools on the market and their key features. We hope this will give you a jumpstart on understanding how to use them well, generating the data you need and avoiding a poor user experience.
Why are popup form so useful?
They’re the best way to present your users with a survey and collect data via your website.
They have a much higher response rate than email surveys.
They can be created using no-code tools and deployed when a user visits a certain page or performs a certain action.
They can improve your marketing efforts, whether those are aimed at generating leads, collecting feedback, or simply creating a contact list.
Given their potential benefits, popup form can be used to improve virtually any business. Still, that utility has led to more and more tools being created, and it’s easy to get lost in all of the options.
