You can admit that some sites (like a News-mifet.cc) use you pop-up ads. The message can contain something like “do you want to get notifications regarding the most recent news?” or “permit notifications to be reported about recent price cuts?”.

Pop-up notifications are rather an reliable marketing tool. If you want goods of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the internet site where you can purchase this things, and also as soon as these items are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the notice concerning this. The counterparty – online merchants, cars and truck lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – purchaser will surely get a pointer concerning the product he/she intended to pay for. And such an advertising and marketing approach is nearly cost-free – this factor is extremely important for firms.
