Pop-ups to increase bookings in the hotel

What are pop-ups

Pop-ups appear directly when visitors click onto the website link and thus encourage them to take action. 

This could be to ‘Get a discount,’ ‘Reserve a room,’ ‘Register for a newsletter’ or simply something that could lead to a conversion. 

As marketing methods that are to be introduced on the website, you need to be careful about the sort of popups you use.

Pop-ups Access 

That one appears as the customer hits the website first, as the name suggests. 

When anyone has clicked on the link they are interested in, entry pop-ups appear, reducing the probability of a bounce. 

While not necessarily contributing to a conversion, you may use entry pop-ups to educate rather than convince.

Click pop-up    

When a visitor hovers over or clicks on a specific item on the website, pop-ups show. 

Instead of opening a new tab which may interrupt the flow of thought cycle of the user, a click on a connection or an item opens a pop-up. 

This gives the user the chance to know more, close the pop-up and continue on the original tab.

A pop-up button is the best chance for conversion thus ensuring the user does not abandon the page.

Move down Pop-up 

When a user spends time on your website, scrolling down directly, they are already interested in your stuff, isn’t he? 

Why not make it easy for the user to view information with an instant pop-up, so he doesn’t have to navigate any further. 

Sometimes, it is easier to display a pop-up scroll just after the user has hit the page’s midway point.

Timed upload 

If a customer has spent some time on your website, then there are chances that a conversion could be in store.

A spaced pop-up is persuading the customer not to worry any more to just take action. Example- ‘What do you think about it? The offer of 10 per cent expires today.’

Right timing of pop-ups may have a significant effect on conversion rates.

Though always suggested for 60 seconds, it’s easier to test your Google Analytics results.

This should give you an outstanding understanding of the total length of your website visits.

Therefore, you might schedule a scheduled pop-up to appear until the guest is ready to leave.
