Popups are also great for promotion and survey purposes. You can use it for cart abandonment and exit intent. For instance, if your visitors are about to leave your site during checkout you offer a discount if they complete their purchase. They can also function as a virtual employee that helps visitors find the right size or guides them to a specific landing page for what they are looking for. The possibilities are endless but remember to make them as personalized and non-intrusive as possible with UTM parameters or page-specific popups so the visitor always sees something relevant. This way you'll provide a better experience on your site.” (Maria Hougaard Sørensen, Content Marketer)

“My top tip is to talk to people, starting with your friends and family. Is the product you are wanting to bring to market interesting to them –– is there a real need for it in the industry –– could you do it better than someone else? If the answers to those are yes, then do it. The barrier to entry is crazy low. Launch yourself a website, use a theme –– or get something custom designed if *truly* needed –– and start sending it out to friends and family, getting reviews and really diving into ecommerce marketing tactics. This industry is a community-driven one. Most sellers are part of a community of other sellers, all of them helping the other to succeed. Join those communities, talk to people, take the feedback and embrace your novice ways. You'll make mistakes. They'll make for really, really good stories later.” (Tracey Wallace, BigCommerce Editor-in-chief)

I say empathy because vanity products don't go very far -- you have to react to your audience's needs and desires. I say persistence because it usually takes more time and energy than expected to find product/market fit, but successful companies are the ones who keep moving forward with customer empathy lighting the way.
