BUT, there is a web design / digital marketing tactic that the data says works EXTREMELY well, that is non-intrusive.

\\n

If you\'ve ever been to a website, browsed around for a minute or three, then moved your mouse to close out that browser tab or enter another URL into the address bar, there is a slight chance that you are prompted at that moment - the moment you try to exit the site - for your email address.

\\n 3. The Gravity Forms Plug-in for WordPress
