This article covers best practices for using Timed Page Pops for admissions, including linking visitors from the About Us page to an inquiry form and from the Apply Now page to an application link based on time or scroll depth.
đź’ˇQuick answers
- What are Timed Page Pops used for in admissions? Popup notifications that nudge visitors from any page toward the application or inquiry pages after they've spent time browsing the site.
- Prompting visitors on the About Us page to inquire about the school? Set a timed Page Pop to appear after a visitor has been on the About Us page for 30 seconds or more, linking them to the inquiry page.
- Why link to an inquiry page instead of embedding a full application? Inquiring is a smaller commitment than applying, and general online forms best practice recommends linking to the application form rather than embedding it directly on a page.
- Can a Page Pop be triggered by scroll depth instead of time? Yes, for example linking visitors to the application form once they've scrolled halfway down the Apply Now page.
Timed Page Pops are perfect for popup notifications that take visitors to the application or inquiry pages from any other page on your school’s website.
Link visitors to the inquiry page after they've been on your school’s About Us page for 30 seconds or more. If the visitor has taken enough time to read or skim through 30 seconds' worth of content, it couldn’t hurt to gently nudge them towards the inquiry page. Inquiring about a school is far less of a commitment than taking the time to submit a full application.
Using the same idea, link visitors to the application form once they have scrolled halfway down the Apply Now page. Our online forms best practices suggest to avoid directly embedding an application form on a website page, so provide that handy link to the form they are likely looking for.
