Updated today

Overview

The Easter Egg Hunt is a multi-step gamification campaign that encourages visitors to explore your website by "hunting" for hidden egg-shaped popups. When visitors find and click on these eggs, they receive special discount codes and offers.

This campaign type is perfect for:

  • Seasonal promotions (Easter, holidays)

  • Encouraging site exploration

  • Creating buzz around limited-time offers

  • Increasing page views and engagement

Before You Start

Requirements:

  • Active Wisepops account

  • Website access to install Wisepops tracking code

  • Discount codes prepared (optional)

  • Images for egg designs (optional - default designs available)

Campaign Structure: The Easter Egg Hunt consists of multiple popup campaigns working together:

  1. Announcement popup - Explains the rules and starts the hunt

  2. Egg popups - Hidden throughout your site for visitors to discover

  3. Prize revelation popup - Shows the reward when an egg is clicked

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Create the Announcement Popup

  1. Go to Campaigns → Click "New Campaign"

  2. Select Template → Choose "Easter Egg Hunt Announcement"

  3. Design Your Announcement:

    • Add eye-catching headline: "Easter Egg Hunt is ON!"

    • Include clear instructions: "Find hidden eggs on our website to unlock exclusive discounts"

    • Add engaging imagery (Easter themes work well)

    • Include call-to-action: "Start Hunting!"

  4. Configure Display Rules:

    • Pages: Landing page

    • Trigger: On landing (immediately or after 2-3 seconds)

    • Frequency: Once per visitor

    • Device: All devices

Step 2: Create the Egg + Prize Revelation Popups

  1. Create New Campaign → Select template with Easter Egg Countdown Coupon

  2. Configure the Tab (Egg):


    What is a Tab? A tab is a small, persistent element that remains visible on your webpage (usually in a corner) until clicked. It's perfect for creating discoverable "eggs" that don't interrupt the user experience.

    • Tab display rules: Start displaying before the popup shows and stop displaying when a visitor changes the page

    • Tab Design: Small egg-shaped tab - you can upload your own image!


      Tab Best Practices:

      • Keep tabs small enough to not obstruct content

      • Use bright, contrasting colors for visibility

      • Position consistently across your site

      • Test on mobile devices for thumb accessibility

  3. Configure the Popup (Prize Reveal):

    • Content: Prize revelation with congratulations message

    • Elements: Discount code, prize details, claim instructions, Email field to claim the prize (Optional), ...

    • Size: Standard popup size for clear prize display

  4. Configure display rules: Choose the trigger, page targeting scenario and audience rules
