Question: Fill in the blank: When enticing visitors with pop-ups in the ______ stage, you may want to promote offers, sales, or discount codes.
- Attract
- Engage
- Delight
- Trick question! Pop-ups aren’t inbound.
Explanation
In the engage stage, pop-ups can support conversion by presenting relevant offers when visitors are already interacting with the website. Offers, sales, and discount codes are intended to move interested visitors toward taking a next step. This fits the inbound methodology when the pop-up is helpful, timely, and connected to the visitor’s intent. The goal is to reduce friction while encouraging a meaningful interaction.
Why the other options are incorrect
Attract is incorrect because this stage focuses on drawing the right people in, not converting active visitors with offers.
Delight is incorrect because this stage focuses on supporting and helping customers after they engage or buy.
Trick question is incorrect because pop-ups can be inbound when they are relevant, helpful, and not disruptive.
