Everyone get used to the annoying popups appearing right they click on a link. People seem to close these popups right way without reading any text. So consider a delayed pop-up for your site. For example, after they stay in a page for a while, the pop-ups will display or popups only show on scroll or on click.
Use Small Popups
We can’t deny that popup is annoying but we can make it less annoying by making the popups smaller. You can imagine how irritating it is when you are reading something interesting and a sudden large popup blocks what you are seeing. If you implement a smaller popup, customers feel more comfortable and may pay attention to your information.
