You can admit that some sites (like a Staikudrik.com) offer you pop-up promotions. The message can include something like “do you want to receive notifications concerning the current information?” or “permit notifications to be reported about recent price cuts?”.

Pop-up notifications are quite an efficient advertising and marketing instrument. If you are interested in products of some type, you can enable pop-ups from the website where you can buy this things, and as quickly as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will certainly obtain the alert about this. The counterparty – online merchants, automobile lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – customer will undoubtedly get a reminder about the item he/she meant to buy. And also such a marketing approach is almost cost-free – this aspect is extremely crucial for firms.
