How to Boost Conversions with Coupon X’s New Features: Hide Widget Tab and Display Widget by Tag or Category

As your go-to WordPress plugin for displaying coupons and promotions, Coupon X is always evolving to help you deliver the best user experience. We’re excited to announce two new features designed to give you more control and flexibility over your Coupon X widgets: Hide Widget Tab and Show/Hide widget in a Post by Tag or Category.

Here’s how these additions can enhance your site’s user experience and conversion potential.

1. Hide Widget Tab: Seamlessly Display Pop-Ups on Page Load

With the Hide Widget Tab feature, you now have the option to remove the floating widget tab that typically prompts visitors to click and view your pop-up. Instead, the pop-up will appear immediately upon page load, capturing visitor attention at a crucial moment. This setting is perfect for high-impact promotions or announcements, ensuring your message is front and center without requiring additional action from users.

Benefits of Hiding the Widget Tab:

Increased Visibility: Pop-ups appearing on load draw instant attention, making it less likely for visitors to overlook them.
Effortless Engagement: Removing the step of clicking a tab streamlines the engagement process, which can positively affect click-through rates.
Perfect for Time-Sensitive Campaigns: If you’re running a flash sale, seasonal promotion, or limited-time discount, the pop-up will be impossible to miss.

Use Cases:

Flash sales and limited-time discounts.
Welcoming new visitors with a first-purchase coupon.
Announcing holiday offers or sitewide sales.

2. Show/Hide by Tag or Category: Targeted Pop-Up Control for Improved Relevance

The Show/Hide by Tag or Category rule takes audience targeting to the next level by allowing you to control which pages or posts display your pop-ups based on tags or categories. This powerful tool makes it easy to exclude specific sections of your website where promotions may not be relevant.

For instance, if you run a blog covering diverse topics, you can choose to display pop-ups only on product or sales-related posts, keeping promotional content off informational pages. This strategic control enhances user experience and increases the relevance of your pop-ups.

Benefits of Show/Hide by Tag or Category:

Enhanced Relevance: Visitors see pop-ups that align with their interests, increasing the chances of engagement.
Optimized User Experience: Keep informational or editorial content free of promotional interruptions, giving your visitors a smoother browsing experience.
Refined Targeting: Target promotional pop-ups to pages where visitors are already more likely to convert, such as product reviews, sale pages, or buying guides.

Use Cases:

Product-based blogs that want promotions on specific posts or categories.
Retailers who want targeted announcements based on product collections or special sales.
News and media sites that wish to keep promotional pop-ups off of certain article types.

In Summary

The Hide Widget Tab option and Show/Hide by Tag or Category rule empower you to deliver more effective and targeted promotions with Coupon X. By removing the widget tab, you capture user attention immediately—perfect for time-sensitive offers and high-impact announcements. Meanwhile, the ability to control visibility by tags and categories lets you refine when and where pop-ups appear, ensuring they reach the right audience without interrupting the browsing experience on unrelated pages.
