Great guide, michelle-brnt! Just to add: You DON’T need a plugin to integrate Popupsmart with Mad Mimi. Many people assume you need a WordPress plugin, but you don’t.
Also, Popupsmart is compatible with ALL websites – you just need to embed a one-line JavaScript code, and it works like magic. I’ve tested it on WordPress, Shopify, and even custom HTML sites.
This is all super helpful! But for those who don’t want to use Popupsmart, I’d recommend OptinMonster. I used it to integrate with Mad Mimi, and here’s why:
Why OptinMonster + Mad Mimi Works Well:
- Drag-and-drop builder – No coding required!
- Exit-Intent Technology – Captures leads just before they leave your site.
- A/B Testing – Easily test different popups to see what converts best.
- OnSite Retargeting – Shows different popups to new vs. returning visitors.
I started using OptinMonster and doubled my email list in 30 days. If you’re looking for an alternative to Popupsmart, this is a solid choice!
I want to chime in with my experience. I used Hello Bar with Mad Mimi, and the integration is super smooth. It’s perfect if you want different types of popups like bars, modals, sliders, or page takeovers.
How to Integrate Hello Bar with Mad Mimi:
Log into Hello Bar and go to the “Contacts” menu.
Click “New Contact List” and select Mad Mimi from the list of integrations.
Log into Mad Mimi and choose the email list where you want the leads to go.
Activate the connection, and you’re done!
I love that Hello Bar’s pre-designed templates make it so easy to create high-converting popups. Plus, they have smart targeting features!
I was a complete beginner with Mad Mimi popups, but here’s what I learned the hard way:
Mistakes to Avoid When Using Popups on Mad Mimi:
Don’t overwhelm visitors – Too many popups annoy people. Use time delays or exit-intent triggers.
Avoid intrusive popups on mobile – Google penalizes sites with bad mobile experiences. Keep popups small and non-intrusive.
Always test different designs – Some colors and CTAs work better than others. A/B testing is crucial.
Since fixing these mistakes, my opt-in rate jumped from 1.5% to 6%. Hope this helps!
Great thread! I just want to address a common question: Do you need coding knowledge to add Mad Mimi popups?
No! You don’t need to know coding at all. Just:
Create your popup with a tool like Popupsmart, OptinMonster, or Hello Bar.
Copy the JavaScript embed code.
Paste it into your website’s <head> or through Google Tag Manager.
That’s it! Even a non-techie like me can do it.
