Biggest opportunity: Swap “reviews notification”, “woocommerce” and “sales popup” for “proof”, “recent sales” and “recent sales popup”. “reviews notification” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “proof” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recent sales” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “sales popup” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “recent sales popup” sits at #23 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

4.1%

of downloads still active

At least 900 of 21.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,144 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I have been using WiserNotify for a while on my PLRcontentStudio.com site, and I must say, I’m extremely impressed with the plugin. WiserNotify has added an amazing social proof and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) effect on my site by displaying real-time notifications of recent customer activities like purchases, sign-ups, and reviews. This has not only made my site more engaging, but it has also increased the trust and credibility of my business. The installation process was super easy, and the customizable features allowed me to tailor the notifications to match my website’s design and brand. The dashboard is user-friendly, and I could easily track the performance of my notifications. The customer support team at WiserNotify is exceptional. They responded quickly to my queries and provided great solutions. Their team is knowledgeable, and their guidance helped me to achieve my desired results. Overall, I highly recommend WiserNotify to anyone looking to add FOMO to their website. It’s a fantastic plugin that adds tremendous value and provides a great user experience. Thanks, WiserNotify, for creating such a great tool!

    We’ve been using WiserNotify for our website for a few months now, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The notifications have helped drive more traffic to our products, and the statistics provided have given us valuable insights into how we can continue to improve. The support team is quick to respond and always helpful, and the A/B testing feature has been invaluable. We’ve seen a significant increase in click-through rates since implementing the service, and we’re excited to see what else we can achieve with it.

    It boosted the credibility factor and sales have increased over time. Does the job well. Able to customise the look. We have been using the free version since a year but were running out of views within a couple of weeks.. felt the price could be better, but have finally bought the paid version. It has unlimited views so that helps. This topic was modified 3 years ago by metravi.
