How it sells itself

Turn your store's most valuable pixels - the top bar - into sales. Anuncify lets you launch every announcement bar and banner type merchants need: a scrolling marquee banner for promotions in motion, a countdown timer bar that builds flash-sale urgency, a rotating carousel/slider bar for multiple messages, a sticky announcement bar that stays visible as customers scroll, a coupon code bar that puts your discount one…

Grab attention with on-brand announcement bars. Choose five bar types — simple, rotating, news ticker, typewriter, and countdown — to run sales, free-shipping offers, and news on any page. Countdown timers add urgency with flip-clock, box, or circle styles, then show a fallback message when time runs out. Schedule bars ahead, target them by page, and show different messages per market or language.

Key points
  • Countdown Timer Announcement Bar: Build urgency with real-time countdowns.
  • Scrolling Marquee Banner: Highlight updates or promotions in motion.
  • Mobile-Optimized Banners: Ensure perfect display on all devices.
  • Customizable Announcement Bar: Adjust colors, fonts, and animations easily.
  • Simple bar, urgency countdown, or news ticker with a live indicator.
  • Display Multiple announcements as slider or news ticker
  • Scheduling and automatic expiration with fallback messages
  • Custom announcements for different pages

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads. Read the methodology.
