Adding testimonials on the website is rewarding itself. People these days prefer a brand over their peers’ opinion than randomly choosing it through an advertisement.
Apart from CTA, learn and instigate exit intent pop-ups. Ask your visitor if they really want to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by closing the tab!
