5. Target specific audiences using the announcement bar.
If a user visits our page from our google ads campaign “vegan watch” we will show them a customer announcement on Black Friday related to ”Vegan Watches”.
However if a user visits our site from a different campaign say – “black leather watches”, we have a specific bar set up that gives them a discount on black leather watches.

6. Schedule your announcement bars in advance.
Do this to ensure the right announcement bars appear at the right time. Bar scheduling is the feature that will allow you to create and save the announcement bars and run them when the time’s right while allowing you to focus on other things.

7. Get your message right. These are some tried and tested messages that work for us.
