Do you want to greet each user with a personalized welcome message in WordPress? Greeting users with a welcome message can help drive engagement on your website. It can also be used to generate leads and increase sales. In this article, we will show you how to greet each user with a custom welcome message in WordPress.
Not all websites need to greet users with a personalized welcome message. However, if you're running an online store, trying to generate leads, or increase user engagement, a custom welcome message can come in handy.
There are different types of welcome messages that you can use. The goal here is to offer users a lot of value with each message. For example, you can offer them discounts, live help, encourage them to ask questions, and more.
You can use integrations to connect welcome messages with your email service provider, live chat service, or contact form plugin.
With that said, let's see how to easily greet each user with a custom welcome message in WordPress.
For this method, we will use OptinMonster. It is the world's most popular lead generation software that helps you convert website visitors into subscribers and customers.
First, you need to sign up for an OptinMonster account. It is a paid service, but they also offer a limited plan with unlimited duration.
Once you've signed up, you'll be taken to your OptinMonster dashboard where you'll need to click the 'Create Campaign' button.
Next, you need to choose a campaign type and template. OptinMonster comes with different campaign types, and you can use any of them to greet users with a welcome message in WordPress.
For the sake of this article, we will use the Flatland templated slider campaign type.
You will then be asked to give your campaign a name and select a website where you want to run this campaign. Click the Select Website field and then click 'Add Website' to add a new website.
After that, click the 'Start Building' button to continue.
OptinMonster will now launch the drag and drop editor, where you can simply point and click on any element to edit it. You can add blocks, columns, and elements with text, video, buttons, registration fields, and more.
Simply click on the text fields to add your own welcome message to greet new users. You can also integrate it with your email service provider by clicking the 'Integrations' tab at the top.
Next, you need to switch to the "Display Rules" tab to select when you want to display the greeting. OptinMonster comes with a ton of options that you can use to create less intrusive and highly engaging messages.
Once you've finished designing your custom welcome message, click the Publish button at the top and toggle the 'Status' option to live.
You are now ready to add this custom welcome message campaign to your website.
Switch to your WordPress admin area to install and activate the OptinMonster plugin. For more details, check out our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Upon activation, the plugin will add a new menu item labeled "OptinMonster" to the WordPress admin sidebar. Clicking on it will take you to the plugin settings page.
You will be prompted to enter your API key. You can find this information in your account on the OptinMonster website.
Don't forget to click the Save Settings button after entering your API key.
Next, you need to click on the 'Campaigns' tab. If you can't see your campaign listed, click the Update Campaigns button.
After that, click the 'Go Live' link next to the campaign you just created.
You can now visit your website to see your custom welcome message in action.
You can use OptinMonster to greet users with different welcome messages based on visits, time spent, login status, referral source, or use of page-level targeting for your landing pages.

After creating your account, you will be taken to your LiveChat Dashboard. Next, you need to click on the settings tab to customize the appearance of the LiveChat button.
From here, you can choose the colors and theme of the chat window. After that, click the 'Advanced Window Settings' link to upload your own logo and add your social media profiles.
Next, you need to switch to the Commitment »Greetings section. By default, LiveChat enables some greetings that are displayed based on a few simple rules, such as time spent on the site, page views, returning visitor, and more.
You can click on these greetings to edit them and add your own personalized welcome message. También puede eliminarlos o hacer clic en el botón 'Agregar nuevo saludo' para crear un nuevo saludo personalizado.
