Popups are used to bring meaningful content to your customers' attention with the goal of encouraging them to sign up for a service, redeem a deal, or join a mailing list. Vagaro has two popup types you can choose from when setting up your MySite:
-
The Default "Pop-up": A popup that prompts customers to fill out a form, go to another page, acknowledge an announcement, use a Daily Deal, and so on.
-
The "Subscribe" Popup: A popup that has a form so customers can subscribe to your mailing list by entering their information.
Prerequisites: This feature requires MySite. To set up your first website, see Getting Started with Vagaro MySite.
The default popup can be used to direct customers to another page or to announce business closures or upcoming events.
