You can admit that some sites (like a Advertherski.info) offer you pop-up promotions.

Pop-up notices are quite an reliable advertising tool. If you are interested in products of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the site where you can buy this things, and as soon as these products are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will obtain the notice regarding this.

And such a marketing method is nearly cost-free – this factor is really essential for companies.
