Evaluating and improving your popup copy is well worth the effort.
If you become highly effective at writing popup copy, you should be able to offer fewer incentives to your visitors while still achieving impressive conversion rates -- all thanks to writing more engaging and persuasive copy for your popups.
So, if popup copywriting is something you’ve overlooked, or you’d like to know if there’s more you can do to improve the copy of your popups, this guide is for you.

As observed during Baymard's testing, despite the fact that “Size” is a critical product attribute for apparel, most participants didn’t filter by size, eager to get to the more exciting task of browsing and evaluating clothing items instead.
However, this leads to issues when users find a product they like and proceed to explore it in more detail on the product details page — only to discover that their top choice is out of stock in their size.
Therefore, Baymard recommends to ensure that users in product lists don’t waste time exploring items not in their size, position the “Size” filter at or near the top of the sidebar and expand it by default.
