Boost Conversions with Herd Effects – Social Proof Notifications for WordPress
Herd Effects is a flexible notification plugin that allows you to create custom popups to display simulated or user-defined activities on your website. While the plugin offers the appearance of social proof, it does not automatically pull real-time data from your site. Instead, users can create notifications by defining their own variables, such as recent purchases or signups, to simulate activity and drive engagement.
Display pop-up notifications for sales, signups, or other actions using customizable templates that capture attention and motivate visitors to act.
= Key Features of Herd Effects =
- Customizable Popup Templates: Easily create your own notifications using templates with variables like names, locations, or numbers.
- Simulated Activity: Users manually define the data (e.g., recent purchases or signups) to create the appearance of social proof.
- Notification Timing Control: Set intervals for notifications to ensure consistent visibility.
- 2,000+ FontAwesome Icons: Choose from over 2,000 icons or upload custom ones to personalize notifications.
- Custom Notification Titles: Personalize titles to match specific actions or events on your site.
- Shortcode Support: Display notifications anywhere on your site using shortcodes.
- Advanced Display Settings: Control visibility based on user activity, screen size, or specific devices.
- GDPR Compliant: Cookie-free operation to ensure compliance with privacy laws.
