You can admit that some sites (like a News-themes.com) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can include something like “do you want to get alerts regarding the most up to date information?” or “allow notifications to be reported about latest price cuts?”.

Pop-up notifications are rather an effective advertising and marketing instrument. If you are interested in products of some sort, you can allow pop-ups from the internet site where you can purchase this stuff, and also as soon as these things are in inventory again, or if you can have a discount – you will obtain the notice concerning this. The counterparty – online merchants, automobile lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – buyer will definitely get a tip concerning the product he/she meant to pay for. And such a marketing method is practically free of charge – this factor is very important for firms.
