You can admit that some websites (like a News-geyafa.cc) show you pop-up advertisements. The message can have something like “do you want to have notifications about the latest news?” or “enable notifications to be reported about new price cuts?”.

If you are interested in products of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the internet site where you can purchase this things, and as quickly as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will certainly get the alert about this. The counterparty – online merchants, vehicle lending services, etc – will remain in profit, too – customer will surely obtain a reminder about the item he/she meant to purchase. And such a marketing technique is almost free – this element is really essential for corporations.
