How to Create Subrion CMS Popups?

Installation & Integration
1

Hey everyone,

I recently launched a website using Subrion CMS, and I want to add a popup to capture email leads. I have no coding experience, so I need a solution that’s easy to implement. Is there a free way to do this? Also, does Subrion support third-party popup builders like Popupsmart?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey nikki,

Yes! You can add popups to Subrion CMS without coding. Popupsmart is a great option that offers a free plan (up to 5,000 page views). Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to adding a Popupsmart popup to your Subrion site:

  1. Sign up for Popupsmart .
  2. Choose your business objective (e.g., email collection, discount offer, social share boost).
  3. Customize your popup using their drag-and-drop editor.
  4. Copy the embed script provided after designing your popup.
  5. Paste the script into your Subrion site’s source code.
  6. Click Save & Publish.

That’s it! Your popup should be live.

Also, Subrion is fully compliant with Popupsmart, meaning there won’t be any compatibility issues. Let us know if you need more details!

nikki, fatih explained it well! Just to add, if you want more customization options and detailed analytics, you might want to explore Embedery. It offers event-based reporting, personalization, and email integration.

Pros of using Embedery with Subrion:

  • Advanced targeting options (based on user behavior)
  • A/B testing to see which popup design works best
  • Full control over when and how popups appear
  • Seamless integration with email marketing tools

However, Embedery is more feature-rich but has a steeper learning curve compared to Popupsmart. If you’re a beginner, Popupsmart might be the easier choice.

I agree with fatih and RockTheScale4! But I want to throw another option into the mix: Plum Popups. It’s another no-code popup builder that integrates well with Subrion.

Benefits of Using Plum with Subrion:

  • SEO-friendly popups that don’t slow down your site
  • Mobile-responsive designs for a smooth experience on all devices
  • No need for additional plugins or extensions
  • Google Tag Manager integration for quick deployment

Steps to add Plum Popups to Subrion:

  1. Create an account on Plum.
  2. Choose your popup goal (email collection, promotions, etc.).
  3. Customize your popup.
  4. Publish it through Google Tag Manager.

Plum is beginner-friendly and doesn’t require coding. Hope this helps!

Just sharing my personal experience—I struggled with getting popups to display properly on mobile when I first started using Subrion CMS.

Here’s what I learned:

  • Popupsmart popups are mobile-responsive by default. No extra work needed!
  • Embedery requires some tweaking to ensure mobile compatibility, but it has powerful customization features.
  • Plum is also mobile-optimized and offers good speed performance.

If your goal is quick deployment and mobile responsiveness, Popupsmart or Plum are great. If you want deep customization, go with Embedery.

For those of you who tried different popup solutions, what were the results? Did you notice an increase in engagement or conversions?

michelle-brnt, great question! I started using popups to grow my email list, and here’s what happened:

  • Before popups: I was getting about 5-10 new subscribers per month.
  • After adding a Popupsmart popup: My subscriber rate jumped to 50-60 per month!
  • A/B testing helped: I tested different messages and designs. A popup with a “10% off first purchase” incentive worked best.
  • Exit-intent popups reduced my bounce rate: Before, my bounce rate was around 80%. After adding an exit-intent popup offering a free resource, it dropped to 65%.

If you’re running an eCommerce or content-driven site, popups do make a big difference in user engagement and conversions.

I just want to highlight something important: Don’t overuse popups!

Best Practices for Popups in Subrion:

  • Use exit-intent popups instead of instant popups to avoid annoying visitors.
  • Limit popup frequency so they don’t appear on every page visit.
  • Keep popups relevant to the page content (e.g., show a discount popup on product pages, not blog posts).
  • Make sure they close easily (some users get frustrated if they can’t find the close button!).

Following these tips helped me get higher conversions without annoying my visitors.

I found this really helpful! Thanks, everyone. Just a quick question—do these popup builders work with Subrion’s built-in A/B testing tools?

Yes theo999! If you’re using Embedery, it has built-in A/B testing for popups, so you can compare different designs and see which performs better.

For Popupsmart and Plum, you can manually test different popups by running them on different landing pages and checking the analytics.

Subrion’s CMS allows for event tracking, so you can measure the performance of each popup using Google Analytics or another analytics tool.
