Exit-Intent Pop-Ups

Implementing exit-intent pop-ups involves displaying targeted messages or offers to website visitors when they demonstrate intent to leave the site, typically by moving their cursor towards the browser's navigation bar or closing the tab/window.

Gather feedback or insights from departing visitors through exit-intent surveys or prompts to understand reasons for abandonment and improve user experience.
