Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Domnews.online) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can contain something like “do you want to get alerts concerning the most up to date information?” or “enable alerts to be reported about recent discounts?”.

And such a marketing method is practically free of charge – this factor is extremely important for companies.
