Pop-up alerts are fairly an reliable advertising and marketing tool.

The counterparty – online sellers, car lending services, etc – will remain in profit, too – buyer will definitely obtain a suggestion regarding the item he/she meant to pay for. And such a marketing technique is almost free – this aspect is really important for companies.
