Where it sits in the set
Every figure below is counted from the 152 popups captured in the same pass, not from a benchmark report.
- The offer is 10% off. The median percent offer in the set is 15% and the mode is 15%, so this sits above 1% of the 84 percent offers captured. 19 brands in the set landed on the same number.
- The field is on the first pane, no gate. 76 of 152 popups (50%) still do that.
- Rendered by Klaviyo, the second most common, accounting for 55 of the 152 popups.
- Trigger is scroll, which 21 of 152 popups use.
- On desktop the card covers 49% of the viewport, larger than 71% of the desktop captures.
- The first field asks for email, as 104 of the 108 popups where a field was visible do.

How this was captured
Headless Chromium, US egress, fresh session, first visit. The page was loaded, scrolled, and on desktop given an exit-intent pass, with up to 32 seconds allowed for a timed popup. Nothing was typed into any form. Where a popup hid its field behind a yes/no or a quiz, a single click was allowed to reveal the next pane and no further, so "first field" means the first field a visitor actually sees. The same capture re-runs the week of Black Friday and this page gains a second column.
