Pop-up marketing itself is a good, cheap and very efficient advertising instrument1. It permits the vendor to link the buyers’ attention to their website, and the buyers to receive the dynamic updates on the goods they intend to purchase. When the consumer will get a pop-up alert that the TV set he wishes to purchase is offered at the online store he/she checked out earlier with a 15% discount, one will surely use this opportunity and get it.
