The marketing Overlay module is a work in progress module that allows you to display JavaScript overlays (often called modals, dialogs, lightboxes, popups, etc) to your website visitors. Currently the module is only set up to work with the ColorBox module, but other options will be supported in the future.
Marketing Overlay provides configuration options to allow you to configure when your overlay should be displayed, what it should display, and how often it should be displayed.
Using this module you can easily accomplish the following things:
- Make an overlay appear the first time a user has visited your site after they are on a page for more than 10 seconds
- Make an overlay appear on the second page a user has visited
- Make an overlay appear when a user hovers their mouse over a specific section on your website
- Make an overlay appear when a users mouse leaves the current browser window
An overlay can display anything, but most commonly it's used to display some type of special or marketing message. It's very popularly used for offering promotions and/or discount codes. There is some support for forms (to allow things like newsletter signup forms to be allowed in the overlay) but it's very untested and will almost definitely have issues (especially with form validation).
