Why create an alert banner in WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An alert banner sits right at the top of your website, so it’s the prime location for important information that you want visitors to know instantly. For example, you might want to display details about your opening times or inform customers about changes to your business. You can also use alert banners to collect email contacts or encourage people to follow your social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, if you run an ecommerce store<\/a>, a alert banner is a great way to notify customers about sale events:<\/p>\n\n\n

Plus, you can even feature relevant coupons and discount codes to make them easily accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can always display this information on your homepage. However, this isn’t as effective since visitors may skip the homepage and go straight to a landing page from the search results. With a notification bar, all customers will see the banner no matter where they are on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n
