In the fast-moving world of eCommerce, getting your customers’ attention—and keeping it—can be tough. That’s where a well-placed announcement bar can make all the difference. Whether you want to highlight a flash sale, free shipping, or new arrivals, announcement bars are one of the most effective ways to deliver high-visibility messages that drive action.
What Is an Announcement Bar?
An announcement bar is a narrow banner, typically displayed at the top or bottom of a website, that features short, impactful messages. Unlike pop-ups, announcement bars don’t interrupt the user experience. They stay in place, remain visible as users scroll, and can be easily updated to reflect your latest promotions or updates.
