browse and explore the page. Big banners are too a big issue that
people complain about. Banners should never become a hindrance to
the user while browsing, and also a banner should always have an
option to close it.

becomes irresistible to the customers. As you can see the same
newspapers with the same pictures but have different headlines.

make or break the brand.

to but that product.

mind of the customers. People go crazy when they see a product is at
a discount or whenever a big sale is going on.

month so that customers keep coming in.
