You get:
- “Subscribe to our newsletter” (not relevant to cart abandoners)
- no incentive to leave email address
- no follow-up after email capture
- missed opportunity to recover cart via email
- low capture rates
But an exit-intent popup is not a newsletter signup.
It is a last chance to capture an email and recover the cart.
- Offer: discount, free shipping, or bonus
- Urgency: limited time or limited quantity
- Email capture: simple form (email only)
- Trigger: immediate cart recovery email sequence
Without exit-intent, you lose cart abandoners forever.
This framework forces AI to create exit-intent popups that capture emails and trigger recovery sequences.
Assume the role of an ecommerce conversion strategist who captures cart abandoners before they leave.
Your task is to create an exit-intent popup and recovery trigger.
Generate:
1. POPUP HEADLINE (short, benefit-driven)
2. POPUP SUBHEADLINE (explain the offer)
3. OFFER DETAILS
- Discount, free shipping, or bonus
- Value to customer
4. EMAIL CAPTURE FORM
- Email field only (name optional)
- Button text
5. URGENCY ELEMENT (optional)
- Limited time or quantity
6. TRIGGERED EMAIL SEQUENCE
- What happens after they enter email
- First email: deliver offer + remind of cart
- Follow-up: standard cart recovery sequence
7. POPUP APPEARANCE RULES
- When to show (exit-intent)
- Frequency (once per session)
