Social Proof is what people want from friends and/or other satisfied consumers before making the decision to make a purchase, eat at a specific restaurant, or even before they see a movie.
The idea or concept is to find a way to showcase the actions of others to influence people to complete a purchase, signup for a newsletter, download a free report, or whatever your desired call to action is.
The nice thing about this plugin is that you can use it for any type of form submission so that you can have social proof with Gravity Forms forms. Any type of form, a contact form, newsletter signup, and an order form.

This plugin adds the popup notification to your site showing the conversions recently completed on your site. By now you’ve seen this when shopping online I’m sure, popping up at the bottom left of the screen, it looks similar to this:
You can modify the design, change the text displayed, and even change the image or use Gravatar to pull in the users image if they have their email setup in Gravatar.

Buyers Guide
When purchasing a WordPress plugin you want to look for a couple important factors.
- Make sure the plugin is being maintained and supported, don’t assume that because you are paying for support and updates that you’re going to get them.
Along with having great technical support, their documentation is outstanding, and has always been enough to help me figure out how to use their products and get things up and running quickly.
- You should also check the refund policy or look for a “no-risk money back guarantee”, just in case you try the plugin and it’s not a fit for your needs.
I can tell you that in some cases, as soon as the file has been downloaded, you void any refund.
With the NotificationX Pro plugin they offer a 14 day risk-free ‘trial’ period and if you cancel within that 14 days they’ll refund your money.
When considering the price…
…the most important factor, in my opinion anyway, is will this software (or does it have the potential to) help increase sales/conversions/revenue?
Obviously you’re going to base that assessment on whatever factor you use to measure growth.
If the answer to that initial question is yes, then the next thing to consider is how long before I recover my cost and become profitable?
The cost for NotificationX Pro ranges from $39 – $299 (at the time of this writing).
That covers a range from a single site license with 1 year support and updates to an unlimited site license and lifetime updates and support.
Use-Case(s)
There are several use-cases for using this type of solution. I would expect the most common would be for an ecommerce website.
You want those on your site, considering a purchase to see others buying the very thing they’re about to purchase. This provides social proof, which should increase your conversions.
The nice thing about integrating NotificationX for social proof with Gravity Forms is you can show these notification any time a form is submitted.
