Where Should I Display My Black Friday Popup?

Black Friday popups perform best when they appear at the right moment and on the right pages. The goal is to capture attention without interrupting the buying journey.

Target High-Intent Pages

Use page-level targeting to show popups only where they matter most:

  • Product pages
  • Collection/category pages
  • Checkout-related pages (when appropriate)

You can configure this using Current URL targeting to ensure your popup appears only on specific pages.

This prevents unnecessary interruptions and keeps the experience relevant to what the user is viewing.

Use Smart Triggers for Timing

Instead of showing popups immediately, rely on behavioral triggers:

  • Scroll-based triggers – show after users scroll a percentage of the page

  • Exit intent triggers – capture users about to leave your site

These triggers ensure your popup appears when users are most likely to convert rather than disrupting active browsing.

You can also target popups using Gleam’s rules engine to combine URL targeting, timing, and audience conditions into a single campaign strategy.
