Exit Splash Installed With Ease

Well, after seeing more and more websites that I follow using the Exit Splash script created by Dave Guindon I decided today was the day to install the script on my websites.

I have to admit I purchased the script from fellow Canadian Dave Guindon back on April 22 2009 and put it on my list of things to do thinking that I needed a lot of time to learn the complicated script and how to install it.

The reality is that it took me longer to watch the awesome training videos Dave includes with the script than it did for me to actually install the script on all my websites.  The videos were in total just under a hour in length.  Once I watched the videos I was able to install the code in under 2 minutes – it was that easy.

So what is Exit Splash?

Well it is a simple code that you install on your website that creates a warning message when people leave (or exit) your website.  Here is a video from Dave explaining Exit Splash in more detail. (opens in a new window when you press “Play”)

Why Did I install Exit Splash?

Well if someone is leaving my website then they probably are not going to purchase anything from my site so this little piece of code lets me increase my chances of turning that non sale into a customer by offering to give them something for free as a “Thank You” for visiting my website.

At this point you are probably thinking that Exit Splash is just another one of those annoying pop ups, and you might be right except that this pop up does not pop up when you are trying to read my website, which is so annoying.  This pop up happens when you leave my site.  By the time you leave I have nothing to lose since you have already decided to leave making a purchase.

On top of the Exit Splash script Dave also gives you a code to create a Viral Twitter Box to put on your website and a suggestion box.  These are both powerful tools on their own but when combined with the Exit Splash code it is easy to increase your website conversions and traffic.

My only issue with the Viral Twitter Box is that the dimensions of the box are not customizable to fit on different areas of your website or blog.  I would like to see Dave include this option in future upgrades.

If you have a website and have anything to sell off your website get this code and don’t be like me and take 3 months to install it.  I shudder to think of the income I have lost because of my delays  Exit Splash is a must have.
