In this case study, we&#8217;ll discover how Wild Water Adventures used one six-word question to convert dozens of prospects, recovering over $61,000 in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet TOMIS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/nashville-pedal-tavern-selling-gift-certificates\/\">pedal taverns<\/a> to food tours to outings on the Vegas strip, <a href=\"https:\/\/tomis.tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOMIS<\/a> helps these fun-loving, locally owned and operated tourism businesses capture and convert leads. Amanda from TOMIS talked with us about the success they&#8217;ve seen using OptinMonster with one of their clients, <a href=\"https:\/\/wildwater.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wild Water Adventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Wild Water Adventures Added Over $61K in Sales Using OptinMonster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild Water Adventures is a Canadian based whitewater outfitter. Vistiors to their website are adventure-seeking nature lovers eager to ride the wild rapids of Canada&#8217;s Kicking Horse river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many points in the booking journey where a potential rafter might feel overwhelmed and abandon the thought of booking a trip. TOMIS recognized this and decided to encourage visitors to reach out for help planning their excursion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The optin itself was simple, but the results it generated were huge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/lightbox-popups\/\">lightbox optin<\/a> was targeted to display on every page. They triggered the optin with our exit-intent technology, which displays the optin when the visitor&#8217;s mouse motions towards the browser bar. That&#8217;s a sure sign they&#8217;re about to leave the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TOMIS used the lightbox popup to capture the visitor&#8217;s attention before they left the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The optin simply asked, &#8220;Need help planning your next trip?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wildwater_tripplanning.png\" alt=\"Wild Water Adventures increased sales $61K using OptinMonster\" class=\"wp-image-118214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wildwater_tripplanning.png 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wildwater_tripplanning-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wildwater_tripplanning-768x525.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They used the Transparent lightbox template to easily add their own graphic behind the optin form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/select-transparent-theme.jpg\" alt=\"Wild Water Adventures increased sales $61K using OptinMonster's Transparent Theme\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The form used in the optin asked for the readers&#8217; name, email address and dates they might like to book a trip. The form uses&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/docs\/how-to-receive-leads-to-your-email-with-zapier-optinmonster\/\">integration with Zapier<\/a> to immediately send the lead&#8217;s contact information to Wild Water&#8217;s email inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/03-field-selector.jpg\" alt=\"Wild Water Adventures increased sales $61K using OptinMonster's Zapier Integration\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once received, a sales rep checks to see if they dates the prospect shared are available, then replies directly. They walk them through planning a trip, and answer any questions they might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding this optin to the website paid off in a big way. Wild Water Adventures saw <strong>35,500 impressions<\/strong> and <strong>160 conversions<\/strong> as a result of this trip planning optin campaign. With an average booking value of $385, that one optin made Wildwater $61,600 in 2017!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild Water Adventures isn&#8217;t the first OptinMonster customer to see huge results by targeting abandoning visitors. <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/marketing-handbags-case-study\/\">Urban Southern increased sales 400%<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/how-salt-strong-avoids-the-mobile-penalty-by-using-optinmonster\/\">Salt Strong increased conversions 145%<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wouldn&#8217;t you like to see results like that from your website? It&#8217;s as easy as asking your readers if they need any help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild Water Adventures added a single lightbox <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/exit-intent\/\">exit-intent optin<\/a> to their website and recovered tens of thousands of dollars in sales as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wild Water Adventures&#8217; lightbox optin received <strong>35,000 impressions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wild Water Adventures&#8217; optin converted <strong>160 leads<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wild Water Adventures <strong>increased sales $61,600<\/strong> as a direct result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your prospects have questions about your business. Unfortunately, some of those questions can stop them from purchasing. Give your prospects every opportunity to ask questions using a simple form in a lightbox optin shown only when they&#8217;re leaving your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Since we started using OptinMonster, I&#8217;ve seen increased success with many of my marketing campaigns.
