Browser Tab Animation

Reengage Customers Who Temporarily Leave Your Website

Browser tab animations grab distracted customers’ attention and guide them back to complete their purchase. When customers switch tabs to check social media or respond to notifications, animated browser tabs create visual cues that remind them of their shopping session.

For example, show a pulsing tab with an emoji and « Please come back » or « Finish your purchase » 5 seconds after they switch tabs.

How It Works

Deploy the prebuilt weblayer component to your website using Bloomreach Engagement’s simple integration process.
