How to Use The Blocksy Pop-up Content Block to Catch Attention Without Annoying Visitors

I’ve tested a lot of ways to share offers and updates on my sites. Most pop-ups feel intrusive or messy.
Blocksy changed that with its Pop-up Content Block. It’s clean, flexible, and smart about when it appears.

If you’re running a site with Blocksy Pro, this is one upgrade worth paying attention to.

My Experience

When I first tried it, I wanted to promote a simple lead magnet, nothing flashy.
I created a new Pop-up template inside Blocksy → Content Blocks.
Within minutes, I had a blank Gutenberg canvas ready to build on.
I used basic blocks, added a short message, and styled it to match my site.

The setup felt smooth.
The real power showed up when I opened the Display Conditions.
You can tell the pop-up exactly where and when to appear: by page, device, or user type.
That means you can show one message to logged-in users and another to new visitors.

It’s a small thing that makes a big difference in engagement.

The Lesson

Most people think of pop-ups as distractions.
The truth is, they’re only annoying when they interrupt at the wrong time.
Blocksy’s pop-ups fix that.

You control how they appear:

  • On scroll when someone reads far enough down the page.
  • On element click if they tap a button or image.
  • On Inactivity after a few seconds of idling.
  • On exit intent when they’re about to leave.

You can even choose to relaunch after a set time or keep it off until the next session.
That level of control helps you respect your visitors’ attention instead of breaking it.

The design tools seal the deal. You can set the pop-up’s size, position, padding, and background.
Add a backdrop blur or lock the scroll if you want full focus.
It feels polished and not like a last-minute add-on.

How To Apply The Blocksy Pop-up Content Block

If you’re using the free version of Blocksy, you won’t see this feature.
The Pop-up Content Block comes with Blocksy Pro, and honestly, it’s one of the best reasons to upgrade.

Here’s how to use it well:

  1. Start simple. Use it for one goal, like collecting emails or promoting a post.
  2. Trigger smartly. Avoid instant pop-ups. Try showing them after 30 seconds or a certain scroll depth.
  3. Design clean. Keep colors, spacing, and shadows consistent with your site.
  4. Test your timing. Different audiences respond better to different triggers.

With these controls, you can create pop-ups that feel helpful, not desperate.

Upgrading to Pro unlocks more than looks; it gives you fine control over engagement.
That’s what separates a website that talks at visitors from one that speaks to them.
