Launch websites with enterprise needs at startup speeds.

Distraction is a killer in e-commerce. People can be browsing and then 'life happens'. Kids, phone calls, phone notification, game notification, Facebook bings etc etc.

I always have 15+ tabs open so when I saw this product in action on a store I had to ask them HOW they were doing it. I wanted it on mine. It's really is genius.

Understand that some people might not like it...blah to them. If it gets people back to my site then I LOVE IT. If they close the tab to my store, no harm done, they had effectively left the store anyway, at least it brought them back.

I probably wouldn't use it with the beep on e-commerce but even that feature is not intrinsically 'bad'. If it was on a site/page with a form or something that 'times out' it could be and important and valuable timesaver for a customer to be brought back in a timely manner.

Thank you for making it a FREE tool. It's very much appreciated.

Pros:

Easy to set up and awesome. It works. Simple. Free

Cons:

I can't think of any.

ok this is awesome! great thinking guys

@gal_rotem Thanks, man!

Yes I'll return, because it's faster to close the window with a keyboard shortcut.

Perfect free widget. Good job :)
