8 on-site campaigns you can launch in under 8 minutes

You've finally got visitors to your website - but now the clock is ticking. If you aren't guiding visitors toward specific conversion goals, you're leaving significant revenue opportunities on the table.

Launching an on-site campaign doesn’t have to mean long planning cycles, design work, or developer involvement. In fact, some of the most effective messages are also the simplest - serving up a clear goal at the right moment to the right people.

PushPushGo offers a library of pre-designed templates and intuitive "if-this-then-that" triggers, making it easy for marketers to bridge passive browsing and active engagement without technical hurdles quickly.

Below is a breakdown of 8 on-site campaigns that you can configure, target, and deploy in under 8 minutes, demonstrating how straightforward and achievable these strategies are for marketers.

Campaign #1. Get more subscribers to your push notifications

The foundation of any successful push marketing strategy is a healthy, growing subscriber list. Browser prompts are fine, but people can easily ignore or block them. PushPushGo's pop-up notifications offer a more user-friendly approach by giving visitors context and clear instructions.

Here are 3 pop-ups you can use to get a better opt-in rate for your web push notifications:

1. Push notifications opt-in (pre-permission)

Before the browser's native prompt appears, deploy a pop-up that clearly communicates the tangible benefits of subscribing.

Standard browser prompts can be cold and impersonal. An on-site pop-up lets you use your brand's voice, design and offer some incentives to make it more appealing - "receive timely updates and exclusive offers when you subscribe".

It functions as a "soft ask". If a user clicks "dismiss", you haven't lost your opportunity permanently - you can re-engage them later when they demonstrate higher engagement levels, rather than facing permanent browser-level blocking.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Delay: 30 seconds

• Target audience: non-subscribed users

• Display on: all pages

• Show again: after 7 days

2. Allow notifications (unblock)

Sometimes your message doesn't reach the user because Chrome automatically silences prompts, or the user usually blocks notifications. This on-site campaign "rescues" those users.

A helpful prompt appears for users with notifications disabled in the browser. It's a visual cue showing them exactly how to enable permission prompts, and it educates people who have blocked notifications, giving them a clear path to opt back in.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Delay: 30 seconds

• Target audience: users with blocked notifications in Google Chrome

• Display on: all pages

• Show again: after 7 days

3. Add website to home screen (iOS/PWA)

Apple’s iOS ecosystem has unique requirements for web push notifications. To reach iPhone users effectively, they need to add your site to their home screen as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

This campaign triggers a specialized pop-up guide specifically for iOS users. It provides simple, step-by-step visual instructions to help them install your web app.

This pop-up lets you bypass traditional App Store hurdles and start sending push notifications directly to iOS devices, opening up a significant segment of your mobile audience.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Delay: 30 seconds

• Target audience: non-subscribed users on mobile devices with the iOS operating system

• Display on: all pages

• Show again: after 7 days

Campaign #2. The free shipping announcement

Free shipping is a strong incentive, but it needs to be clearly communicated. A simple on-site bar can highlight that free shipping is available for orders over a certain amount, making it a clear expectation from the start.

This message works as a non-intrusive reminder that encourages people to add more items to their cart to qualify for free delivery. Display it on product pages or across the site. By the time the user reaches their cart, they've already mentally committed to hitting that $50 mark, leading to fuller carts and fewer abandoned sessions due to "surprise" shipping costs at checkout.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Delay: 5 seconds

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: all pages

• Show again: never

Campaign #3. The "Exit-intent" saver

On average, 70% of shopping carts get abandoned. Often, the visitor was distracted or not ready to commit. An "exit-intent" pop-up is your "safety net", designed to catch the user's attention the moment they decide to leave your site.

Traditional pop-ups can sometimes be intrusive, but exit-intent triggers are different. They only appear when the user has already signaled they finished. It’s a low-risk, high-reward opportunity to provide a "last-second" reason to stay.

Configure a pop-up in PushPushGo triggered by exit-intent (when the cursor moves rapidly toward the browser's "close" button or address bar). Use a high-contrast design with a compelling headline.

To make it even more effective, target this campaign specifically to users on the Cart or Checkout pages. You can offer a small "one-time" discount code or a "save my cart" option to encourage them to complete the transaction.

It gives you a second chance to convert a lost lead. Even if they don't buy immediately, you can use this pop-up to capture an email or a push subscription, allowing you to remarket to them later.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: exit-intent

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: check out page

• Show again: never

Campaign #4. The Flash Sale announcement

When you've got a limited-time offer, the goal is to get the word out to every visitor to your site as quickly as possible.

Flash sales work because they trigger "Fear Of Missing Out" (FOMO). If a visitor browses your site without realizing a major sale is happening, they might leave to "think about it" and miss the window entirely.

Use a bold, eye-catching center pop-up or a high-visibility top bar. Use copy that emphasizes the deal's temporary nature: "Flash Sale: 30% Off Everything – Today Only!"

You can set this campaign to appear globally across all pages so that no matter where a user enters your site (via a blog post, a direct product link, or the homepage), the sale is the first thing they see.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Delay: 5 seconds

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: all pages

• Show again: never

Campaign #5. The product recommendation cross-sell/up-sell

Even if a visitor is interested in your brand, they might not be aware of the full extent of your catalog. Use onsite notifications to act as a digital personal shopper, guiding users toward your most popular items based on what they are currently viewing.

Big inventories can be overwhelming. If a user is browsing in a specific category, then they're giving you a pretty clear signal about what they're interested in - so show them the best sellers in that particular area, and reduce the effort they have to put in to track these things down. Increase the likelihood they'll add more than one item to their cart.

Create an onsite notification that triggers after a user spends a certain amount of time (e.g., 20 seconds) on a category page. Use a friendly prompt like: "Love our Summer Collection? Check out the bestsellers our community is raving about!"

Use URL-based targeting to ensure the message appears only on specific category pages (e.g.,/category/shoes or /category/accessories). Hence, the recommendation stays relevant to what they're already interested in.

This campaign boosts product discovery and cross-selling. By simply highlighting what is already popular, you provide social proof and help customers find their next favorite product faster.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: onsite notifications

• Display duration: 1 minute 

• Delay: 20 seconds

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: category/dress

• Show again: always show

Campaign #6. The limited stock alert

A limited-stock pop-up is a great way to let users know an item may not be available for long, so they can make a decision more quickly without relying on discounts.

Use a subtle banner on specific product pages. Use high-impact copy such as: "Hurry! Low stock on this item – grab yours before it’s gone!" or "Limited quantities available. Don't miss out!"

This campaign is most effective when targeted to high-intent pages. You can set it to trigger after a user has scrolled through 50% of a product page, ensuring they have already seen the item and are engaged before the "low stock" message appears.

It creates a natural sense of urgency without feeling forced - it's just stating the facts about your inventory. By doing this, you help the customer avoid the disappointment of a "sold out" sign while also giving your immediate conversion rates.

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: user who entered the website

• Scroll: 50% scroll on product page

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: product page

• Show again: never

Campaign #7. The loyalty program invitation

Acquiring a new customer can be much more expensive than retaining an existing one. Pop-up notifications are the perfect way to turn a one-off shopper into a long-term brand advocate by inviting them to join your loyalty or VIP program.

Many customers are unaware of the perks you offer beyond the initial purchase. By highlighting the benefits of your loyalty program while the user actively engages with your site, you increase the likelihood of repeat purchase and higher customer lifetime value (CLV).

Use a slide-in pop-up notification that shows up on the "Order confirmation" page. Write a welcoming headline like "Join our VIP Club! Earn points on every purchase & unlock exclusive rewards."

Why does this work? Because it shifts the relationship from a one-off transaction to a longer-term one. When the invitation feels like an exclusive benefit rather than another ad, customers are more likely to feel valued - and that sense of belonging gives them a real reason to come back. 

Campaign blueprint:

• Tool: pop-up notifications

• Trigger: order completed

• Display timing: immediately after purchase confirmation

• Target audience: all visitors

• Display on: thank you page

• Show again: never 

Campaign #8. The review collection

Social proof is the backbone of e-commerce trust. While email follow-ups for reviews are standard, they often get lost in crowded inboxes. By using pop-ups instead, you can catch the customer's enthusiasm when they're in the right mindset - right after they've interacted with your brand or made a successful purchase.

Trigger a subtle corner pop-up or slide-in message on the "Thank You" page. Use a clear, appreciative call-to-action: "Loving your experience? Let us know! It takes only 30 seconds to leave a review."

Ensure this campaign appears only to users who have completed a specific conversion goal (e.g., a purchase or a successful download). You don't want to ask for a review from someone who's been on the site for only 10 seconds.

It is a great way to build your library of testimonials and ratings. These reviews can then be repurposed for your "Social Proof" campaigns, creating a virtuous cycle that builds brand authority and helps future visitors feel confident in their purchase.
