How Can Social Proof Notifications Skyrocket Your Conversions?

Before you make a purchase online, how do you make sure you’re making the right choice?

If you’re probably thinking “read reviews”. You’re right. Studies show that the majority of online customers look at a product or services review before making any purchase. Product reviews from real customers are more plausible than the product description and sales data.

Consumers trust reviews from peers who are using the products. Such reviews are unbiased and more trustworthy.

With NotificationX, you can let your visitors know about the authenticity of your products by showing them real-time action taken by real consumers on your site. You can notify them about the recent purchases, blog subscription, share page analytics, and much more.

By seeing the purchase of your products/services from other consumers, it establishes the authenticity of your business. Your new visitors will be then encouraged to purchase without hesitation.

In other words, NotificationX helps you increase trust and boost your sales and conversions.
