How to use your Diib Handshake
Why the “Diib Handshake” Feature Matters
Welcome your visitors and boost your leads with a Diib Handshake. It might look like a pop-up, but our Handshake is way more advanced. This completely customizable, smart tool turns your existing website traffic into more leads!
Your Handshake can live on your homepage or multiple pages on your site. You can use it to greet new visitors, offer discounts for contact information, and more. AND you can track all of your data in your Sales Boost Tools page.
You can deploy a Diib Handshake with zero technical knowledge, and no additional advertising budget is needed.
How to add a Handshake to your website:
- In your Diib Dashboard, click on Sales Boost Tools, and click on Get Started.
- Create your custom Handshake using our Builder.
- Add the Handshake Code to your site (we have easy step-by-step instructions with screenshots, or a Growth Expert can help you install this).

Handshake Best Practices
If your Diib Handshake isn’t getting the leads you think it should be getting, you might want to tweak your Handshake and try something new.
Here are a few of the best practices we use when deciding what will work best for a member’s website:
- Straightforward call-to-action.
Have a clear, inviting button that says exactly what to do next (like “Sign up now”, “Get Your Discount”, “Join Now”, etc).
- Keep your message clear.
This is probably someone’s first time visiting your site so use welcoming words and make it super clear what benefits they’ll get by signing up. No need to get wordy here!
- Sweeten the deal.
If you aren’t already offering a discount, consider offering an incentive like free shipping off their first order, 10% off their first order, or a free digital download for those who sign up.
- Keep the sign-up simple.
If you’re asking for a lot of information, try adjusting your Handshake to just ask for the basics, like an email address, to make signing up easy and quick.
- Add a sense of urgency.
Sometimes saying an offer is for a limited time can encourage more sign-ups.
- Add your Handshake to your entire site.
If you only have your Handshake popping up on one page, try adding it to all of your pages…that way you won’t miss anyone.
- Use engaging questions.
Pose a simple, engaging question in your Handshake to spark interest. For example, something like "Want to make your Mondays brighter?" creates a friendly, conversational tone that’s also natural.
- Pay attention to seasonal themes.
Is a major holiday approaching? Think about how to use the design and message of your Handshake to align with seasons, holidays, or even current events, making it more relevant and timely.
Remember!
The goal is to make your Diib Handshake as inviting and unobtrusive as possible, turning it into a pleasant part of the user's experience on your site.
Why is my Handshake only being shown to a small portion of my traffic?
If you notice a message like this in the Sales Boost Tools, it likely means you’ve only applied your Handshake to a few pages. It might be worth adding your Handshake to more pages or your entire site. We display the Handshake just once per user, meaning your returning visitors (who typically make up about 10-40% of traffic) won’t see the Handshake again.
