Website announcement popup for news worth a glance
A website announcement popup is a small notification that tells visitors something new: a feature, a shipping cutoff, holiday hours or an event. AutoSocialProof's informational widget combines a title, a short description, an image and a link, and you control exactly when, where and to whom it appears.
