Do popups help or hurt on Black Friday?

Black Friday is on November 27 this year, and I keep going back and forth on one question: when every visitor arrives already looking for a deal, what do popups and other on-site elements really do?

Here is how I split it:

- Before the sale: collecting emails for early access ("get the deal before it goes public")

- During the sale: a countdown to the end of the offer, an announcement bar, a free-shipping threshold, an upsell at add-to-cart

🎯 What is one change on your landing page that actually moved the numbers?

Small changes count: a headline, a button, a removed section, a different order.

👋 Hello Product Hunt! I'm Aleksan, I build PopupGenius

I'm building PopupGenius: popups you design by chatting with AI. You describe the offer and it builds the popup in your site's colors. It started as a Shopify app and now works on any website with one script tag.

Then AI changed how fast one person can build. A SaaS stopped feeling like a team project. So I built a Shopify app, PopupGenius: popups you design by chatting with AI. And from that app I'm now building the SaaS version, so it is one product on more than one platform: Shopify and any website.
