Written by Katie Samuelson

Why Apparel Brands Need Better Popups

Fashion and apparel are high intent + high bounce categories.

Shoppers browse multiple products:

  • Sizes
  • Style
  • Fit
  • Color options

And they rarely buy on the first visit.

The winning strategy:
Capture their contact — then bring them back with the right message at the right time.

Popups are your highest-impact conversion tool.
