Featured Updates from our Gold Partners

We’d like to take the time to highlight some recent updates from our friends over at OptinMonster. If you haven’t checked out their product before, it’s a very powerful robust way to build sign-ups and conversions for your website. It interfaces quite seamlessly with WordPress but also works on standalone sites and has quite a few flexible ways to place your promotions exactly where you want, including factoring in Custom Post Types & Taxonomies, so it works well alongside Pods. Some of the new features they’ve added are:

• Geo-Location Targeting: In addition to their recent addition of targeting by TimeZone, you can now target your promotions directly by the visitors Geo-Location. This makes it incredibly powerful for region specific specials. You can read all about it in their blog post on this release, which also included Smart Success Themes, Transferring Optins between accounts and many more features.
• New vs. Return Visitor Detection: This powerful feature allows you to customize which optins are shown to people when they first drop in and to those who use your website regularly. This release also included AdBlock detection (helpful for letting people know that they’re getting ‘less’ of your site with the Adblock on) and support for the new MailChimp API 3.0. You can read all about these features on their blog as well.
