How to Show Campaigns on Desktop and Mobile Devices

How to Show Campaigns on Desktop and Mobile Devices

OptinMonster makes it easy to show campaigns on specific devices. You can create campaigns to target just mobile or non-mobile visitors and more.

In this article, you’ll learn how to show campaigns on desktop and mobile devices.

Before you start, this feature is available with a Plus and higher subscription.

By default any campaign that is not mobile-only optimized will show on all devices.

You can create Mobile-only optimized campaigns with a Pro or higher subscription.

Important:

If you are editing a mobile-only optimized campaign there will be no option to add a Device Targeting Display Rule. This is because mobile-only optimized campaigns are designed to show only on mobile phones.

This article covers specific settings in the Display Rules. If you’re just getting started we recommend reading our general Display Rule documentation first.

Configure Device Targeting

You can use the device targeting rule in the Display Rules to show or hide your campaign on specific devices.

To target your campaign to specific devices, follow these steps:

  1. In the campaign builder, navigate to the Display Rules view.
    Navigate to the Display Rules in the OptinMonster campaign builder.
  2. Next, add or modify an existing rule, by searching for Visitor’s Device.
    Visitor's Device rule in OptinMonster to target specific devices.
  3. Finally, configure the rule by selecting is or is not and then selecting the device(s). You can select more than one device option if desired.
    Configure the Visitor's Device rule.
  4. When you’re finished, Save the campaign.

FAQs

How do I target just mobile phones but not tablets?

The Mobile option targets mobile phones only.

Yes, MonsterLinks will always work and are the one exception to the device rule.

Why don’t I have the Device Targeting options in the Display Rules?

If your campaign is a Mobile-only campaign, no device targeting options will appear in the Display Rules. This is because Mobile-only campaigns will show on mobile phones by default with no option to change the device.

You can convert a Mobile-only campaign to a standard campaign if you prefer to show it on other devices.

OptinMonster has transformed our business. Before integrating their optins, our clients saw a 2% conversion rate from web traffic, which is slightly above the standard for their industry. With the integration of OptinMonster’s lightbox popup, exit-intent technology, split testing, and other tools, our client’s conversion rates soared by an unprecedented 500%. They attracted substantially more customers while spending less on digital advertising. Their success propelled them to the top of their markets, outperforming national chains and other medical spas with much bigger marketing budgets. Our client’s success in their market has distinguished us in our own. We are now one of the most sought-after marketing firms in the industry of aesthetic medicine. We know that the integration of OptinMonster, more than any other tool or marketing strategy, has supported this growth and achievement.

Through OptinMonster’s exit-intent popups, we have more than doubled our sales conversion rate. Best of all is the compound effect of using OptinMonster over a long period of time—more conversions mean more customers, which means more word of mouth.
