Handling reviews through WooCommerce, or any ecommerce platform for that matter, can be slightly unorganized.
The same goes for the interface that customers use, where it asks for too much customer information to post a review, or the form requires too many steps to publish.
In this Woo Reviews (by Wiremo) review, we're going to cover a plugin that hopefully mitigates all of your problems with reviews. It's a plugin that improves WooCommerce reviews, so those of you who utilize WordPress and WooCommerce for your online store will have a wonderful solution for customer reviews.

Popups and promotional banners are only useful if they're targeted to the customer seeing them.
Think about it: If I land on an ecommerce store and they reveal an exit-intent popup banner for 20% off all ladies merchandise (I'm a guy,) I'm going to close the screen immediately.
It also depends on where the customer is located in the shopping process. For instance, maybe a user is thinking about throwing another item in their cart but they're not quite sure. In that case, you don't want to redirect them to a promotion for another product, but rather keep selling the item they were almost about to buy.
Not all exit offer plugins and apps allow for this type of flexibility, but Picreel seems to do a good job seeing what customers are doing on your site and only sending them the promotions and offers that make sense. So here's an in-depth Picreel review if you'd like to learn more about the most advanced exit intent technology for ecommerce websites.
