<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Display targeted, high‑impact messages to new and returning visitors</h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Splash Popup</strong> lets you put the right message in front of the right shopper at the right time—without sending them to another page. Use any WordPress page as the popup content, target by visitor type (logged out, logged in, or customers), and throttle how often it appears so you inform without annoying. Great for promos, newsletter signups, shipping notices, or must‑see announcements.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Target the right visitor with the right message</h2>
<p>Use your existing WordPress pages as popup content and tailor what each visitor sees.<br />
Personalizing messages by audience makes promotions more relevant, reduces friction, and lifts key actions like signups and add to cart.<br />
You get clearer communication without sending shoppers to another page.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Logged out visitors:</strong> Welcome first‑timers with a clear value prop, a simple site intro, or a newsletter offer.<br />
Great for growing your list and guiding new shoppers to best sellers.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in users:</strong> Share new arrivals, saved items, or account benefits.<br />
Nudge known visitors toward the next step instead of repeating generic promos.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in customers:</strong> Reward loyalty with exclusive discounts, reorder prompts, or member‑only content.<br />
Encourage repeat purchases and higher lifetime value.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because the popup pulls from WordPress pages, you can reuse layouts, forms, and shortcodes you already maintain.<br />
The result is faster setup, consistent branding, and higher engagement from messages that match each visitor’s intent.</p>

<p>When a visitor closes the popup, it won’t keep nagging them every time they come back. Instead, you can set how long to wait before showing it again. Whether that’s a few days, a couple of weeks, or longer. By default it’s 30 days, which strikes a balance between staying visible and avoiding annoyance. This way your messages feel timely and helpful, not pushy, and visitors stay focused on shopping instead of repeatedly dismissing the same popup.</p>
