Announcement Bars

A sticky bar with every targeting rule, schedule and analytic the games already had. It runs alongside a popup rather than competing with it.

What kinds of announcement bar can I run?

Four: a plain message, free shipping progress, a countdown, or a discount code. A bar is a full campaign, so it gets the same targeting rules, the same schedule and the same analytics as anything else. Lucky You resolves one popup and one bar for each visitor independently, so a bar and a popup can run at the same time without competing for the same slot. Announcement bars are available from the Starter plan.

Bar Variants

Can the bar show progress toward free shipping?

Yes. One of the four bar variants shows progress toward your free shipping threshold rather than merely announcing that the threshold exists.

Free Shipping Progress

Will the announcement bar cover my header?

Not if you use push mode. A bar can either overlay the top of the page or push the page down to make room for itself, and push mode moves your theme's sticky header too. That last part is the half cheap bar apps skip, and it is why a pushed Lucky You bar does not end up sitting on top of your own navigation.

Push vs Overlay

How do I make the bar match my store?

Bars ship with eight finished styles. Before you publish, the editor shows a contrast warning if your text will not read clearly against the background you have chosen, so a bar cannot quietly go live unreadable.

What does a bar report in analytics?

What a bar can actually do: how many times it was shown, how many clicks it got, the click rate, and how many people dismissed it. It does not report a game funnel full of zeroes, because there is no game in a bar to funnel anyone through.
