You can admit that some websites (like a Service.notification.popup) show you pop-up promotions. The message can include something like “do you want to have alerts regarding the latest news?” or “allow notifications to be reported about new price cuts?”.

Pop-up alerts are quite an efficient advertising instrument. If you are interested in goods of some kind, you can allow pop-ups from the site where you can get this things, and as quickly as these things are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the alert about this. The counterparty – online sellers, vehicle lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – customer will definitely get a tip concerning the item he/she intended to pay for. And such an advertising method is nearly cost-free – this element is extremely essential for companies.
