Tnx @__tosh for hunting us today! Hey hunters 👋 For a while now I wanted to drive some of the traffic from our main website to time-relevant subpages. It’s cases when we have: - 📝a new blog post - 🌟cool new product feature - 📒a fresh new e-book - 👨‍🏫️an upcoming webinar - 👥a bunch of positions to fill - 📆or an event that’s around the corner. In all these cases I didn’t want to change the website itself. I just wanted an easy way publish… something. 📣That’s why we created Magnify. No design skills needed. It’s kinda like writing a tweet. A new announcement is up in 10 seconds. Give it a try and let me know what you think. We’re very early, so any kind of feedback on the landing page, value prop and the product gets extra ♥️.

@jmarovt love the simplicity on all fronts here. Product. Pricing. Language. P.S. on pricing page — make sure that packages are clickable and lead to sign up flows… you want to sell sell sell there! 🤑
Jakob Marovt
@ksaitor Ah, that's a very good point Raman. Will tweak now, tnx!
Mikkel Malmberg

Put Magnify on a few pages as soon as I saw it. Nice little product!

Pros:

Easy to set up and use.

Cons:

None yet.

Will this be the new rockstar in the world of doormats, pop-ups etc? It is likely... Love the idea of simply offering an easy-to-access intro to "company news" - has a nice honest tone to it. Will you be able to show different kinds of information dependent on different kinds of characteristic of the visitor?
Jakob Marovt
@simonsylvest Yeah, currently we made it super simple so no advanced targeting options. But definitely coming. Based on how fast @gbelcec ships, that might be already next week ;) 🚢
Joakim Green
Awesome work Jakob & Gregor! I find Magnify very useful because of it's speed. I’ve been testing it a bit on our website lately and it's without doubt the fastest way we can drive traffic to different parts of our website without doing an extra deploy. In our case it's perfect to drive traffic to a landing page that explains our product in a general way and the show an industry specific feature (we just wrote about in our Intercom-powered Help Center) via Magnify. Also, we used to promote our open positions via a Intercom chat bubble. But honestly, that actually lack a clear CTA. The whole Magnify widget is a large and clear CTA which does the job much better! Best of all, all this can be done by a marketer. Even the installation via Google Tag Manager can easily be done by a marketer. Keep it up!
Jakob Marovt
@joakimgreen Thanks Joakim. You pitch Magnify better than myself. 🙏
Trisha Cupra

I'm interested in seeing how this develops!

Pros:

Up and running in minutes. Does what it says on the tin.

Cons:

Would have liked to have added bold to some words and a line break.

Trisha Cupra
Also would have liked an "All pages excluding X page" option rather than needing to add pages one by one.

Works great, but has some room for improvement. It looks like you touched on some of these already but my initial feedback: - Let us sign up with an account via email (not google) - Needs more advanced targeting (example: only pages with "word" in URL), geo-targeting, etc. - More control when/how often it pops This is a solution I'd loved to have had during our holiday promotions! I like it much better than the header bar or modal from a design and UI perspective.
Jakob Marovt
@callmedpit Thanks for this feedback David, really appreciate it! 1) Working on it. I agree - we just wanted to push out something simple and fast. 2) Working on it. Coming soon! (Some of it today actually.) 3) Working on it. Coming soon!
David
@jmarovt Any idea on timing for "More control when/how often it pops"?
Jakob Marovt
@callmedpit Hey David. One of your ideas we implemented a few days ago ("Needs more advanced targeting (example: only pages with "word" in URL)"). You can simply use "*" wild card when specifying targeting pages. More advanced targeting coming in the next few weeks ;)
Joakim Green

A more nifty way of promoting things to website visitors. For me Magnify replaces the traditional top bar and some intercom popups (when I rather want a clear CTA instead of chat)

Pros:

Easy to setup, Minimalistic design with clear CTA

Cons:

Lack of possibility to target pages based on "URL contains"

Gregor Belcec
Hey Joakim - possibility to target pages based on "URL contains" is now live ;) Thanks for this suggestion!
Gonzalo Sanchez

It does one thing, and it does it beautifully. Love this kind of products.

Pros:

Super easy to set up.

Cons:

Not that I can see.

Matias Bruhn
Looks super cool and to the point. Nice with these products that does one thing very well! Will try it out!
Jakob Marovt
@matias_samo Thanks Matias. In fact, Magnify does 2 things very well (📣announcements and 🍪cookie consent). Soon also a third one 📹 ;)
Rob Gill

In the past I have wanted to share links to a SurveyGizmo (in deph surveys with using advanced logic) via our website... Hotjar was a possible solution for this, but it forced us to use their basic survey tools which didn't match our needs. We ended up having to raise dev tickets to create a pop ups and in the end shared the links in articles and on fb/tw which wasn't great. So glad to find magnify to solve this use case. As well as the ablity to share product updates with users and a solution for cookie messages! Very nice product indeed/

Pros:

Simple - solves an issue we had, sharing likes quickly to website users

Cons:

No multi user access/mutli site set up (yet) but i do hear that they're coming soon

Jakob Marovt
Ah, thanks for this Rob. Multi user access coooming!
Rasmus Burkal
Awesome, love the idea here - I've seen this work very well on classic booking and e-commerce sites, love the idea about taking this promotional aspect of marketing to a broader online marketing context.
Jakob Marovt
@rabu81 Tnx! I think (or shall I say hope) it's really widely applicable this one. I think of it as a new marketing channel (besides email marketing, social media marketing). If you have a high traffic website you can now easily steer some traffic from the frontpage to whatever you deem most relevant at the moment (webinar, new blog post, new ebook, etc.).
Carl Worricker

fantastic idea! so simple. I created and added an announcement to my site in less than 3 mins.

would be nice to be able to choose the position of my announcement i.e. bottom left, bottom right, etc.

Pros:

easy to use, easy to implement

Cons:

lack of positioning options

Jakob Marovt
Thanks for this Carl - will think about positioning. For now we just intentionally removed all options ;)
Carl Worricker
@jmarovt out of curiousity, why is that? for simplicity?
Jakob Marovt
@carl_worricker Yes. But I agree that of course we'll have to find a solution for it.
Mariedyth Alcaya
I think this is a cool product. Can this be used on WYSIWYG platforms such as Shopify, Weebly, Wix via iFrame?
Jakob Marovt
@mariedyth_alcaya Yes, of course!
Mariedyth Alcaya
@jmarovt That was awesome and easy to set-up. However, I am not sure why the YouTube vid isn't playing? I can't wait to use this for my future projects! Here's the test: https://www.acustomwebdesign.com/
Mariedyth Gayas
@jmarovt Any idea why the vid isn't playing?
Jakob Kristensen
Love the simplicity of Magnify, great work - there is definitely a need for a tool like this focusing just on announcements instead of capturing emails etc. Super excited to use this tool and looking forward to see even more features being shipped!
Jakob Marovt
@heyjakobcom Thanks Jakob, really appreciate it!
Victor
Very cool and looks slick. Products like this are great because they nudge you to push announcements more frequently due to easy of use. Great work!
Jakob Marovt
@vriparbelli Thanks Victor, that's exactly our goal: lowering friction to updating small bites on your website. Now everyone can do it in 10 seconds.
alen cvisic
Product like this always tend to be overcomplicated and clunky, but Magnify is slick, non-intrusive and straightforward. Good job. 🙌
Elizabeth
Nice UX - question though - why use this over @intercom or @drift? @__tosh @jmarovt @gbelcec
Jakob Marovt
@intercom @drift @__tosh @gbelcec @elizabethhunker Thanks Elizabeth! Chat tools can in theory be used for this purpose with a bit of creativity, but that's not their main use-case. I think Magnify with its super minimal use case is a great complement to those tools.
Anna Filou
Any idea what the pricing once the beta phase ends?
Casper Emil Rouchmann
Seems cool. I was just wondering what the difference between this and something like SleekNote would be?
Jakob Marovt
@casper_emil_rouchmann Hey Casper, that's a good question. I would put the tool you mentioned in the category of pop-up tools that are primarily focused on email capture (and thus powering subsequently the email marketing channel). Magnify on the other hand is focused on quick bite-size announcements on your website and steering traffic that is already on your website to something you deem the most relevant at the moment. That can be an upcoming webinar, event, new product feature, etc. Hope this makes sense!
Nick Mavridis
Nice use of Material UI 4.....very easy and straight forward setup. Love it. Edit: Work on that pricing for sure. The market is saturated right now WP Plugins, Hoversignal, provensrc, socailproof...etc Get people to fall in love with the product before asking them to open their wallet.
