In this case study, we&#8217;ll discover how Cracku increased conversions 300% by creating urgency in their campaigns using OptinMonster&#8217;s countdown timers.<\/p>\n<h3>Meet Cracku<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cracku<\/a>\u00a0helps students prepare for entrance exams in a revolutionary way. It offers digital test prep platforms including a mobile platform that gives students the freedom to learn and prepare anywhere, anytime. \u26a1<\/p>\n<p>Maruti Konduri\u00a0from Cracku talked with us about how they\u2019re using OptinMonster to convert visitors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128229 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/crackufrontpage800.jpg\" alt=\"Cracku offers digital test preparation.\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/crackufrontpage800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/crackufrontpage800-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/crackufrontpage800-768x378.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before using OptinMonster, Cracku tried several different options to encourage visitors to enroll in a course. They used other lead generation plugins for WordPress, but found them difficult to use and were frustrated by how slow the plugins made their site.<\/p>\n<p>When those options didn&#8217;t work, Maruti even resorted to coding their own campaigns in-house!<\/p>\n<p>While that solved one problem, it created another. Maruti felt those campaigns were annoying to visitors because the timing and triggers were too limited. When bounce rates increased, as a result,\u00a0Maruti\u00a0knew they needed to transition to a more complete solution.<\/p>\n<p>They needed reliable, easy-to-use software that would allow them to focus on crafting and launching offers, instead of getting tripped up by the technology they used to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Enter OptinMonster. ?<\/p>\n<h3>How\u00a0Cracku\u00a0Creates Urgency Using Countdown Timers<\/h3>\n<p>Cracku periodically offers a discount on their most popular courses. To encourage visitors to register for those courses, they displayed the discount in a <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/lightbox-popups\/\">lightbox campaign<\/a> along with a <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/features\/countdown-timer\/\">countdown timer<\/a>. The countdown timer reminds the visitor that this offer will not be available forever, so they need to take action now.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-129101\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/OptinMonster_CrackU_Lightbox.png\" alt=\"CrackU used a countdown timer to increase urgency.\" width=\"800\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/OptinMonster_CrackU_Lightbox.png 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/OptinMonster_CrackU_Lightbox-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/OptinMonster_CrackU_Lightbox-768x600.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128231\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/countdowntimer.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128232\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/countdowntimer-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The offer itself is only available for specific courses: Banking, SSC, and RRB. Maruti wanted to ensure the campaign only displayed to visitors interested in those courses. Using OptinMonster&#8217;s powerful display rules, he targeted the campaign to appear only on pages where the URL contained the terms sbi, ibps, or banking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-128455 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pagetarget800.jpg\" alt=\"Cracku targeted where campaigns could appear using OptinMonster's display rules.\" width=\"800\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pagetarget800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pagetarget800-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pagetarget800-768x309.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>This campaign converted 4.29% of visitors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cracku also used the\u00a0countdown popup in a fullscreen welcome mat to offer 50% off any course.
