Just what I needed, scrolling fixed sticky bar with regional targetted different messages.

Great customer service too helped me fix an issue swiftly

I've been using the Quick Announcement Bar since opening my store 1 1/2 years. I love how easy it is to use and believe it is a key part of our success with the announcement of various sales we run prominently displayed on our all of our pages. Customer service is great. I was having a problem with the display on the mobile platform after migrating to a different theme. Customer service was back within a few hours of my email request with the exact problem and exact fix. Great experience all the way around!

I've been using the Hextom Quick Announcement Bar on my Shopify store for years now. It is an excellent tool for grabbing the attention of your buyers. I use it for everything from vacation announcements, to promoting upcoming specials, to informing landing page customers of current promotions. It's a valuable tool for my business!

I use this every year for my Christmas order cut-off dates and shipping times. I also have a permanent bar set for UK customers only.
Very quick and easy to use, and really useful to be able to target visitors from specific regions.

This app is a super-fast way to make announcements on your store. It takes about 2 minutes to customize a bar exactly as you want it, with background and font color, font style, your text, and choice of having a clickable button, clickable banner, or no-click... and you're done. I love it! This app makes it easy to post notices of new items, sales, and for us, store closings due to winter storms. After we make a banner, it's saved, so we can re-use it later on. And all of this is on the free version! Upgrading gives you more backgrounds and fonts, animation, and more.

Edit Sept. 2024: Still using this app and am very grateful that they still offer a free version after all these years!

We have used Hextom Announcement Bar for a few years now and it's really useful! We use it to advertise an upcoming exhibition, or when the gallery is closed for holidays. Sometimes we use it for a special offer!

We love the flexibility!

Every time I update my announcement it doesn't show up for me Well I am updating my review. I am not tech savvy and I could not see the announcement bar at all so I contacted support and they helped me with my issues which were on my side with some things I didn't know that would hinder me seeing the bar. I really commend the support team for staying with me and helping me to see the announcement bar by giving me great instructions!
Thanks so much!!! Kathleen Heckenkamp

This is my most used Shopify app I've had it over 7 years with the new themes I can seamlessly use the announcement bar but I still find use for this app so I keep it...

I’ve been using this announcement bar since I opened my store years ago. It’s so easy to use and has some great features for starter stores!
