One of the best tools I used to lead generation

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Alternatives Considered:

Easy to setup use HelloBar Notifications

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I must say the HelloBar is quite useful for small to large-scale industries. If you have small or SaaS based business or something like Lead Generation is your primary things then must go with the HelloBar.

Pros:

From Integration to setup the Hellobar is a quite an easy experience. HelloBar is a only my first options before 3 years ago.

Cons:

There must be more options for FOMO grade notifications like Announcements, Popups, Timers, Integrations for reviews, sales, Visitors numbers, etc... Those are very important nowadays which are provided from other competitors in the market. HelloBar is more over the Conversion based service for your website.

They stopped maintaining the software

3.0 4 years ago

Pros:

Was affordable before. Backed by [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Cons:

Hellobar was great, 2 years ago... They stopped maintaining the software. Support is now outsourced to god knows where and they are not helpful. Out of a sudden we started experiencing bugs. They trashed our traffic and keep lying about it. Switching providers as this is totally unacceptable. There are plenty of options and it's not good value anymore.

asy-to-Use Solution for Website Optimization

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Hello Bar has proven valuable in optimizing our website for conversions.
Its intuitive interface and drag-and-drop editor let us create persuasive CTAs that successfully direct user actions. We can schedule campaigns and target specific audience segments to maximize impact and unlock each bar's potential.
The current template library offers a solid foundation. However, expanding it would significantly improve the platform's flexibility and give users more control over their website's visual elements. Offering additional design options or the ability to upload custom templates would be a valuable addition for those who want even more granular control.

Pros:

Hello Bar has simplified the process of optimizing websites for conversions. Its intuitive interface and drag-and-drop editor make creating compelling bars that drive action easy. The tool can also schedule campaigns and target specific audience segments for maximum effectiveness.

Cons:

Although the basic features are satisfactory, having more templates or design options would be beneficial.

Hello Bar puts lead generation on overdrive

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall this is a very good tool to capture leads and grow your business. It added new features over the years and makes it very easy to get started. All the years of user feedback has made this a tool that evolved and constantly gets improved. If you have any site, it's a great idea to play around with Hello Bar and see what difference it makes. I found it very easy to use and definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Hello Bar offers multiple ways to collect emails and they all look great on my site. There are many templates to choose from and customization is easy too. This is a very solid platform that makes it very easy to get started. I don't like complicated tools and settings and was glad to experience how easy Hello Bar makes it to start collecting emails on your sites.

Cons:

Hello Bar is a solid tool, but over the years other tools copied (and sometimes improved) the technology. That being said, Hello Bar also evolved and now has more features that marketers will love. I hope the team stays on top of new technological trends.

HelloBar is simple to use and does the job

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Helps me convert visitors and curate where I want them to go. I saw from heatmapping that people went to the hellobar before any of our CTA Buttons!

Pros:

I'm not a huge fan of sumome because there's TOO MANY OPTIONS. I use HelloBar on most WordPress sites that I manage. My favorite thing about it is the easy A/B testing.

Cons:

I have to use Zapier to connect it to Ontraport. It's only a tiny inconvenience.

The Market Caught Up

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: It was a great service that did not evolve with the times to stay current. It does what you need it to do, but if you should have better alternatives as close to free as possible.

Pros:

At the start Hello Bar did one important thing well: it gave you an eye-catching contrast header at the top of your website/blog. It allowed you to serve a call to action and it was the King of the Jungle.

Cons:

The rest of the internet and web developers and themes and plugins and everyone else caught up. What was once the gold standard became common place overnight.

There are no surprises, all claims this program makes it follows through!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We added this to our website and would update it frequently to cater to our immediate needs at the time.

Pros:

There is no guesswork to this program. It is straight-forward and easy to set up and use. It is very easy to update and also customize for your needs.

Cons:

We needed the paid version to get the features we needed, but didn't need all the features that the paid version included. Would have liked a smaller tier.

Great Product, but Hard to Get Support

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Overall, my experience has been positive. I will say that I've struggled to get the support I need in answering questions and solving problems. There's no number to call, only a chat that takes over an hour for a response.

Pros:

I love how easy it is to set it up and customize it for different pages.

Cons:

The software is not very conducive to things like adding to posts only and other capabilities that exist in other pop-up plugins.

Simple but limited functionality

3.0 3 years ago

Comments: Hellobar is great for smaller business starting out with banner popups and personalizations. For multiple banners thought, it became tedious to work with and relatively glitchy when trying to incorporate more advanced design features (ex countdown timer, imagery within the banner,

Pros:

Functional for single line of text sticky banners. Ease to teach others how it worked

Cons:

The platform was very slow & glitchy. While it was effective in getting simple messages out, the time consumed in making minor edits made otherwise small edits a tedious and drawn out process, that sometimes resulted in the browser needing to be restarted altogether because of slow/failed loads.

Hello Bar to the rescue

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Easy to work with. Responsive team with great ideas. It literally turned a serious business concern into a strength for us. Highly recommended.

Pros:

It's easy to ease, and more importantly, highly effective. Our new contacts were down 35% compared to last year. Within a month, we are 25% ahead of last year.

Cons:

Fear of the unknown. I was worried that it would make our B2B website look too 'retail'. I was so wrong. It works great for all of our customer types.
