How to Use the Announcement Bar to Increase Sales (With Examples)

Today, let's talk one of my favorite under-used features. The announcement bar. 😍

This shows up at the top of your account, and is the perfect way to highlight one of two things:

1️⃣ an important sales message that you want more people to see (i.e. Get X% off my Y, to help [offer benefit]. Get it here, offer ends on [date]!)

OR

2️⃣ an important step in your customer's journey (i.e. a channel that you know converts to sales, i.e. we know this Collaborative community is excellent as a nurture channel)

Even better...it's super duper easy to set up. Learn more here.

Check out some examples below.

⚡️ EXAMPLE #1

Illana's announcement bar is offering a grand opening sale. It says:

"Grand Opening SALE! Use code ILLANAISAWESOME for 25% almost everything [DETAILS]"

⚡️ EXAMPLE #2

Emma's announcement bar is showcasing that a specific product is now available and WHY that's exciting. It says:

"→ Consistent Sales is open! Start making more sales in your business, with more predictable revenue each month"

👉 See other examples of people using the announcement bar (and share your own!!) here, and here.

If you don't have an announcement bar set up yet...now's a great time! Just pop into your account > Appearance > Announcement Bar

Remember -- done over perfect! Continuous evolution, all the way, friend! 🎉
