The demo is not really doing anything for me... I get the welcome pop-up when I enter the site, but nothing has come up when I go to leave the site (whether I have clicked on anything or not). Is it supposed to bring up an alert when I go to leave?

Side note: I am not sure how I feel about these techniques. I remember something similar on hobbyking, where if you left a page open for too long a pop up would come up offering you a discount for the item. Once I figured out it did this, I would go around leaving pages open hoping to get discounts. It was annoying, and I would refuse to pay full price after I saw this in action, even when it stopped making me offers. Be careful when overly gaming your customers.

Thank you for the feedback! I guess we need to improve demo site, so it is more clear. Our idea in demo page was to show different kind of targeting examples while simulating a purchase process. And the Exit example is in further steps. About overly gaming customers - sure, based on our experience we suggest our client suitable campaign ideas, and it actually does need always to be a discount, it can be some ongoing promotion or reminder about some specific feature.
It isn't working for me. I added some stuff to my card, tried to check out and got the message "Move your cursor to the cross or address bar as if you were about to abandon this cart", but nothing happens when I do as the message says.
