Anonymous online surveys can give you the honest and accurate feedback you need, straight from your customers. Customer surveys can have an enormous impact on your organization and let you change your communication, offer and personalize your website.

You can target your exit pop up based on different capabilities, for example:

  • time on page (you can display it only if your visitor has spent specific amount of time on your website),
  • URL (you can display it only to a visitor who has visited specific pages),
  • device (mobile/desktop),
  • location (language).

Using those options, you can precisely describe who will see your survey. It allows you to personalize the content by combining targeting options and be sure that you will have answers only from visitors who can be your target.

Examples of use - Book industry

Challenge

A client from the book industry implemented a survey on the website that was displayed to the visitors in the moment of leaving the website. The exit pop up includes a survey with multiple choice. The purpose of the survey is to get information about why the customer wants to leave the website to improve the customer journey.

Prerequisites


To implement this use case, perform the following steps in the given order:

Process


To display an exit pop up with a survey on your website, perform the steps in the following order:

  1. Prepare dynamic content.
  2. Set up a dynamic content.
  3. Analyze results.

Prepare dynamic content


Note:

In our example we will use two variants of Dynamic content:

  • Variant A is useful if you want to let a visitor to the website choose only 1 answer.
  • Variant B is usefull if you want to let a visitor to the website choose only several answers.
  1. Go to Dynamic content > Templates > New template.
  2. Create one of separate templates for Variant A or Variant B that contain script with your survey which will send data to Synerise.
  • Variant A - In this variant of the survey, only 1 answer can be selected, which will be stored in the parameter answer. In this case, we use the attribute: answer –> Prices.

    Check the Jinjava code

      <form action="" method="post" data-synerise="exit.survey "> <p>Why do you leave?</p> <div> <input type="radio" data-synerise="answer" id="stock" value="stock" name="answer"> <label for="stock">I didn’t find what I was looking for </label> </div> <div> <input type="radio" data-synerise="answer" id="prices" value="prices" name="answer"> <label for="prices">It was too expensive </label> </div> <div> <input type="radio" id="ux" data-synerise="answer" value="ux" name="answer"> <label for="ux">The website is not user friendly </label> </div> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> 
    
      

  • Variant B - In this variant of the survey, a user can choose several answers, and you want to store each answer in a separate attribute. In this case, we can use the following attributes: stock, prices and UX.

    Check the Jinjava code

      <form action="" method="post" data-synerise="exit.survey "> <p>Why do you leave?</p> <div> <input type="radio" data-synerise="stock" id="stock" value="yes" name="stock"> <label for="stock">I didn’t find what I was looking for </label> </div> <div> <input type="radio" data-synerise="prices" id="prices" value="yes" name="prices"> <label for="prices">It was too expensive </label> </div> <div> <input type="radio" id="ux" data-synerise="ux" value="yes" name="ux"> <label for="ux">The website is not user friendly </label> </div> <input type="submit" value="Save"> </form> 
    
      

    Tip: If you want to postpone the event on the customer’s card after the pop up is displayed, use the dynamicContent.show event.

Set up a dynamic content


Create a dynamic content communication and use the previously prepared templates.

  1. Choose Web Layer type.

  2. Select your Audience depending on your needs. You can target your communication to everyone or select segment of users. In our example we target dynamic content to users, who didn’t make transaction in last 30 days.

    2. Click Define conditions.
    3. From the dropdown list, select Transaction event.
