Evidence gives you complete control of the notifications that show on your websites and comes with FOUR different notification types.
- Conversions: Conversion notifications show off individual actions taken by site visitors, building trust and encouraging others to do the same (our most popular notification).
- Streaks: Streak notifications show a large number of site visitors who have all taken the same action over a given time, establishing credibility and creating urgency.
- Visitor Count: Visitor Count notifications show either a live count of visitors on the site or a count of visitors on the site over a given time, making your website a busy and interesting place, which creates the fear of missing out.
- Announcements: Deliver targeted, well-timed messages to your site visitors. This tool is perfect for driving engagement and interaction with new blog posts, videos, podcasts, events, webinars, booking calendars and more.
Each one of these notification types are designed to help you convert your hard-earned traffic into more prospects and customers.
