Sticky Notification bar is really effective for promoting deals/offers on your blog.
I personally feel that Notification bar is better than pop-ups. Because pop-ups sometimes become irritating for users and on other hand notification bars will be showing on top or at the bottom of site.
I think having notification bar is more useful from user point of view than pop-ups. What you say?
Adding a sticky notification bar on the top or at the bottom of your website is really easy in wordpress websites.
There are many wordpress notification bar plugins available for free and paid both. For free plugins you can just search for notification bar plugin on wordpress.org. in result you will get lots of useful and productive plugins with great features too.
