If you’re looking for a way to highlight your email optin box, you’ll love this post. We’ll show you, step by step, how to add motion to your email optin box. The motion email optin box appears and disappears as visitors are scrolling down the page. By doing this, chances are high that the email optin box will catch your visitors’ attention, which will hopefully result in a higher conversion rate. You’ll be able to download the JSON file for free as well!

Let’s get to it.

Preview

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a quick look at the outcome. This tutorial works best on larger screen sizes. On smaller screen sizes, we’ll disable the entire motion email optin box so it doesn’t overlap any existing page content.

2. Create Left Email Optin Box

Hide on Tablet & Phone

Then, hide the entire row on smaller screen sizes in the advanced tab. The reason we’re doing this is that we don’t want the email optin box to overlap existing page content.

  2. I have images that go edge to edge. Is there a way to use this technique and have the popup stay on TOP of that content as you scroll down?
