Marketing Tools: Announcement Bar, Pop-Up, and Mobile Info Bar:

Three marketing tools — Announcement Bar, Promotional Pop-up, and Mobile Information Bar; availability depends on your subscription plan (Core plan or higher required)

Announcement Bar

  • Thin bar at the top of the site; add text and/or a clickable link

  • Can make the entire bar a link or just specific text

  • Color is changed via your color theme settings

  • Custom CSS in the template adds a hover effect to links in the bar

Promotional Pop-up

  • Multiple layout options — corner, bottom bar, or full page (avoid full page; it's invasive and Google penalizes it on mobile)

  • Customizable action (newsletter signup, button click), text, timing (scroll, timer, or page-specific), images, and color

  • Can connect to third-party email services; those may require pasting code into the Code Injection area instead

  • Requires Core subscription whether using native Squarespace or a third-party plugin

Mobile Information Bar

  • A thin bar on mobile showing your contact info (email, phone, location)

  • Pulls automatically from your store settings

  • Available in light or dark style

  • Scrolls out of the way so it's helpful but not intrusive

  • Great for making contact info instantly accessible on mobile without digging through the site
