Pop-ups allow you to highlight news, events, promotions, and more on your web pages and Proofing events. Pop-ups can also feature forms, videos, or images! As you build your pop-up, you can see your changes in real-time in the Pop-Up Builder.
Navigate to the Pop-Ups by clicking the "Marketing" option located within the menu on the left side of your account, then click "POP-UP BUILDER" at the top.
STEP ONE
Log into your PhotoBiz account and click on MARKETING in the left side menu. This area contains the email marketing campaign builder, the pop up builder, email and automation settings.
STEP TWO
Click on POP UP BUILDER at the top of the Marketing control panel.
STEP THREE
Click on the new pop up button.
STEP FOUR
You can select the type of pop up your want to use in the right side menu. You can choose from any of the following types of pop ups:
- PROMOTION BARS
- SUBSCRIBE
- PROMOTIONS
- CLIENT GALLERIES TUTORIALS
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
- CONTACT FORMS
PRO TIP: Be mindful of the layout you choose for your pop-up, this is the first and one of the most critical steps of setting up your pop-up. Depending on the layout chosen, you will see different combinations and arrangements of elements such as text, buttons, videos, images, and forms for your pop-ups. The layout you choose should depend on what elements you want in your pop-up and how you want them arranged with one another. For instance, if you want your pop-up to feature an image, make sure to select a layout that has an image element and not a video element.
After you have selected the type of pop-up you wish to use, you'll have a visual preview of what the pop-up will look like and you'll be able to edit the settings and customize the pop-up to match your brand and style.
STEP FIVE
Add Text To Your Pop-Up
All of the layouts have a text element. The text element allows you to enter a title, description, and disclaimer for your pop-up.
- TITLE: The title will appear largest
- DESCRIPTION: The description supports more characters of text.
- DISCLAIMER: The disclaimer allows you to add smaller text at the bottom of your pop-up.
Click save changes to apply your text.
STEP SIX
Adding Images, Videos, Forms, & Buttons
Depending on the layout you choose, you will have the option to display a different combination of an image, video, buttons, or a form on your pop-up.
- IMAGES: On layouts that support images, you will find that you can add one image to the pop-up. The location of where the image displays will depend on the layout chosen.
- VIDEO: If using a layout that supports video, you will need to provide the embed code for the video you wish to display. In order to do this, your video will need to be uploaded to a video hosting site such as YouTube or Vimeo.
- BUTTONS: On layouts that support buttons, you will find that you can choose to display one or two buttons, each connecting to a different area should you choose.
- FORMS: You can use forms for users to quickly subscribe to an email list or send you a message. The forms available directly correlate with the Form Builder on your account.
Make sure to click save changes in each section to save your work.
STEP SEVEN
Styling
The styling section determines how your pop-up will display on a page.
Overlay
If you turn the overlay option on, your pop-up will lay over the content when displaying on a screen. A user will not be able to navigate your website or Proofing event until the pop-up is closed.
If you turn the overlay option off, your pop-up will appear with a drop-shadow behind it. Users can still navigate the website and/or Proofing event without closing the pop-up.
PRO TIP: If a pop-up does not have an overlay and is set to all pages in your "publish" settings, the pop-up will follow you from page to page until it is closed.
POP-UP LOCATION
You can determine the location on the screen where your pop-up will appear. Since you can have multiple pop-ups active at once, you can avoid them overlapping with one another by choosing a different location for each one.
STEP EIGHT
Customize Your Pop-Up Colors
Colors allows you to be able to customize all of the colors within your pop-up. As you make changes to the colors provided and click save changes, you will see a preview of your final pop-up in the window provided.
STEP NINE
Choose Your Pop-Up Fonts
There are two font areas you can customize for a pop-up and they are the title font and the content font. You can see a preview of what your font will look like to the right of the font selections. Additionally, you will see a preview of your font changes by clicking save changes to apply your font selections.
STEP TEN
Publishing Your Pop-Up
When you're ready for the world to see your new pop-up, navigate to the publish button located at the top right of your Pop-up Builder.
POP-UP NAME
You can change the name of your pop-up in this section to be able to better distinguish one pop-up from another. Only you can see your pop-up name.
DISPLAY IN BUILDER AND/OR PROOFING
You can choose to display your pop-up on all of the pages of your website, a specific page, or not at all. You can also choose to display your pop-up in all of your Proofing Events, a specific Proofing event category, or not at all.
- DISPLAY IN BUILDER - Controls where your pop-up will appear on your PhotoBiz Website Builder.
- DISPLAY IN PROOFING - Controls where you pop-up will appear on your PhotoBiz Proofing.
A pop-up will only show on a page if the settings allow for it to be seen. If a pop-up is set to all pages, then the pop-up will show on the first page visited by the viewer.
You can use pop-ups in Proofing to serve as a welcome message for your clients, providing instructions on how to send feedback and/or order their images!
WHEN TO SHOW
You can choose when a visitor sees your pop-up by adjusting the amount of time a visitor is on your site before the pop-up should load. You can choose from 0 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or 30 seconds.
FREQUENCY
This setting will allow you to control how soon a visitor will see your pop-up again after closing it out. You can choose to display your pop-up only once, every day, every 7 days, or every 30 days.
If you have a form on your pop-up and it has been completed on a particular browser and submitted, the pop-up will not display again regardless of your frequency settings for the user.
PUBLISH DATE
You can determine when your pop-up will be published and even set it up ahead of time. You can also determine what date you would like the pop-up to discontinue by adjusting the expiration date. Click the publish button to save all of your changes!
PLEASE NOTE: Your pop-up will stop appearing at the end of the day of your expiration date.
If you have multiple pop-ups on the same page in the same location, the most recently published pop-up will load last and be on top.
