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.
