Help with Country selector pop up

[tidybooks]

Hi,

We have just taken off our auto redirect on our sites so we now have separate domains -

.co.uk, .de, .com, .fr, .eu, .com.au

We are about to install a country selector that pops up. Its bit more of pros and cons answer I am after

So the 2 options we considering are as follows

The more complicated one with the following functionality across all sites in the case the example is having  a French IP

So I have a French IP –

1. I arrive on French site = no pop up

2. I arrive on UK site = pop up with text saying “you are on the UK site” and generates 2 button one saying“continue” and the other saying “take me to Tidy-books.fr”

3. I arrive on the USA site = pop up with text saying you are on the US site and generates 2 button one saying  “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr”

4. I arrive on the German site = pop up with text saying you are on the DE site and generates 2 button one saying  “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr”

5. I arrive on the Australian site = pop up with text saying you are on the DE site and generates 2 button one saying  “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr”

6. I arrive on the European site = pop up with text saying you are on the EU site and generates 2 button one saying  “continue” and the other say “take me to Tidy-books.fr”

The other simpler option

I have French Ip

1. I visit the French site no pop up

2. I visit any other countries site and a pop up with a all our flags appear allowing the person to select which country they wish to go to

Hope that makes sense any suggestions etc would very much appreciated

Thanks

Hi thanks that pretty much answers the question was basing the more complicated version on the Amazons of the world so wanted to check there wasn't any fundamental reasons for doing it that way as opposed to the more simplistic way.

You are looking for the better option for the user? They are both simple for the user and both require 1 click, I don't think either one would detract a user. So go with the easier option to setup.
