Getting your visitors'
attention is an ongoing challenge. The key is to find a way that is
non-intrusive but impactful. Earlier this year we recommended a
product called Instant Attention, and while it is useful, it
is both costly and somewhat limited in features.
Focus
Generator comes to us
from Armand Morin, the developer of some of the best-selling tools
on the Internet including eCover
Generator and Pop-Up Generator among others.
Like Instant Attention, Focus
Generator enables you to create unique, photo-realistic
pop-ups that resemble Post-It notes. They are accessorized with
images of thumb tacks and scotch tape to make it look like they are
stuck to your screen. The images are quite varied and very
eye-catching.
You can customize these
pop-ups with text and trigger them to appear when a page first
loads. These pop-ups can not be blocked by conventional software
because they are actually part of your web page. This means you
message is guaranteed to be seen. Simply copy a few files to your
web host and add one line to your web page. The rest is magic.
You can use these
pop-ups to remind visitors about special offers, to get them to
subscribe to your ezine, or to visit another site of interest. You
can cookie the visitor so they won't see the pop-up a second time.
You can also set these pop-ups to auto-close after a duration of
your own choosing or simply add a little "X" to the corner
for them to click on to close them. Pop-ups may also be linked to a
web page.
All in all, Focus
Generator is like Instant Attention except for the
following;
- Focus
Generator is software you
purchase where as Instant Attention is a subscription service.
- Focus
Generator costs $97.00 -- a
one-time fee whereas Instant Attention is an annual fee of $97.00
per year.
- Focus
Generator comes with dozens
of pop-up images whereas Instant Attention is limited to a dozen or
so images.
Both accomplish the same
thing -- focusing your visitors on your marketing message -- but Focus
Generator is a better product and a better deal. Click here

Generator in action.
