Chasing Growth

Startups have limited or no marketing budgets, and have to often challenge and compete with well-established brands. Therefore, growth hacking is often a great way for them to practise ‘no-money marketing’.

Exit intent pop-ups: Today, marketers are trying to understand the visitors’ intent at every interaction. When the visitors land on a website, they get special welcome message or personalised assistance to traverse it.

This contains special offers for customers. RazorSocial increased their conversions by a whopping 520% by offering the visitors upgraded content service.
