The addon creates a flexible subsystem of banners, that are placed in the category lists of products among the proposals, taking the place of needed product in list.

Addon is included in the UniTheme2 package (goes free for all UniTheme2 users)

Key features and benefits of the addon:

  • alternative site banner placement among the products (we take the position of needed product in list, shifting the remaining lower on the list, ie banner takes grid of the product);
  • the ability to specify the position for the banner in the list of goods (global addon configuration);
  • the ability to specify separately banner image to be displayed in the Grid and List without options (vertical and horizontal variations for the banner);
  • the ability to specify a specific timeline display banner (the date of the activity dates banner from the beginning to the end);
  • !!!!! the ability to specify the display time of the banner on a specific day of the week and the desired time !!!! (For example, we can show a banner only on Monday morning and Saturday evening);
  • the ability to place different banners in different product categories;
  • the possibility of rotating banners (if the same place in the same category assigned to some different banners);

Desired results from the use of alternative banner display system in products list:

  • an overall improvement of conversion rate (correct use of the tool will allow you to significantly increase the number of orders - tested in large projects);
  • increase efficiency of the promotions (we are often faced with customer inquiries - "how to improve the effectiveness of advertising activity" - about to get a proven tool for achieving the purposes of advertising and marketing improvement of user behavior (yes, now you can manage the behavioral factor);
  • the ability to manipulate the behavior and interests of the target audience;
  • opportunity to inform the user about the innovations or new products;
  • the ability to catch and hold user in the directory;
  • PROFIT!
