Exit offers are a sales tactic tool that is offered to ClickBank users to help reduce order form abandonment and increase the number of transactions made by existing traffic. Exit offers display when customers attempt to leave the order form without placing an order.
Users can customize the content and appearance of the exit offer. Additionally, they can determine the action that takes place when a customer clicks a button in the exit offer.
There are two types of exit offers that ClickBank vendors can use: basic and advanced. The basic option uses the WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) builder that is available in the vendor account. The advanced exit offer allows vendors to further stylize the exit offer through an uploaded CSS file.
For each kind of exit offer, users have the change to either keep the user on the same order form by selecting the Stay on Page option from the Exit Offer Dropdown Menu or, they can redirect the user to a new order form that has a lower price point or additional bonuses by selecting the New Paylink option.
ClickTip: Exit Orders are not yet formatted for mobile usage and can only be used on a desktop.
