In this article, you’ll learn when and how to use this new targeting feature more effectively.

When to use targeting option for OS and browsers

Here are some popular use cases that you can try:

  • To encourage mobile users to download your app, you can create 2 different pop ups – one for Android, one for iOS

This is pretty simple and obviously very helpful to jack up your download rate.

Having two different pop ups for two different OS would allow you to monitor and analyze your performance, making it easier for you to target the right customer and come up with more strategic tactics to capture users of the OS with a lower download rate.

  • Tell users using older versions of Internet Explorer to switch to Chrome or update their current browser to the newest version

A pop up is an effective way to drive users to decide on something immediately.

If you use it to remind them of something they’re missing out on as you show newer versions or better options, the results would tremendously work in your favor. Poptin’s new targeting option gives you the opportunity to achieve this in just a few clicks.

  • Show different promotions or products, depending on the device your visitors use

Everyone knows that there are certain gadgets that only work for a particular device.

If you tend to promote such products, you desire to show it specifically to the right users. One of the most popular examples: AirPods headphones are for iPhone users, while Galaxy Buds headphones are solely for Samsung users.

Targeted pop ups can help you promote the right product to a potential customer who has a higher chance of really buying it.

Considering the number of choices, there are definitely a lot of campaign types where you can benefit from this targeting option.

Now, it’s time to learn how to implement this on your pop ups.
