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 52% off. The median percent offer in the set is 15% and the mode is 15%, so this sits above 93% of the 84 percent offers captured.
- The field is behind a gate: a yes/no comes first. 76 of 152 popups (50%) gate the field, so this is the majority behaviour at the top of the market, not the exception.
- Rendered by Alia, the most common vendor in the set, accounting for 56 of the 152 popups.
- It waits 7.1 seconds. The median timed popup in the set fires at 7.3s, so this one is faster than the middle, and 55 of 114 timed popups appear sooner.
- On desktop the card covers 9% of the viewport, larger than 6% of the desktop captures.

This brand in The Handoff

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.
