Choosing the Right Template
FloatMessage offers 10+ templates, each designed for a different use case. Picking the right one can make the difference between a message visitors engage with and one they immediately dismiss. Here's a breakdown of every template and when to use it.
High-visibility announcements
Welcome Banner
A floating banner that slides in from the corner. Best for greetings, general announcements, and first-time visitor messages. Non-intrusive but noticeable.
Best for: welcome messages, announcements, soft CTAs
Sticky Top Banner
A thin bar that sticks to the top of the page. Always visible without taking up much space. Great for site-wide notices.
Best for: sales banners, shipping notices, site-wide alerts
Modal with Image
A centered popup with an image area. Commands full attention — use sparingly. Pair with a dark or blur background overlay.
Best for: exit-intent offers, major announcements, product launches
Lead capture & conversions
Newsletter CTA
Designed to capture email signups. Includes a clear call-to-action button. Works well on blog pages or content-heavy sites.
Best for: email list building, content upgrades, lead magnets
Coupon Card
A card-style message perfect for sharing discount codes. The layout emphasizes the offer and makes the code easy to copy.
Best for: discount codes, limited-time offers, cart abandonment
Visual & media-rich messages
Image Message
A simple floating image with optional text. Great when you want to show a product photo, graphic, or visual element.
Best for: product highlights, visual promotions, brand imagery
Image Background
Text and CTA overlaid on a full background image. High visual impact for image-driven brands.
Best for: lifestyle brands, event promotions, visual storytelling
Story Carousel
Multi-slide stories with auto-advance, similar to Instagram stories. Each slide can have its own image, text, and CTA button. Available in small, medium, and large sizes.
Best for: product tours, feature showcases, onboarding sequences, multi-step promotions
Trust & compliance
Social Proof
A small notification-style message that mimics social proof alerts — "12 people bought this today". Builds trust and urgency.
Best for: e-commerce, SaaS signups, event registrations
Cookie Notice
A clean, minimal banner for cookie consent or privacy notices. Typically placed at the bottom of the page.
