There are situations when you want to add a promo block to the top of the page, for example, free shipping offer, discount for Black Friday or other holidays, and you need to display it on the page quickly.
This is easy to do with Magento 2 admin panel. First of all, we'd like to mention that adding and configuring HTML Block doesn't require any programming skills. Check out this short video in order to see how it actually works or follow the step-by-step instructions below.
In order to add HTML block at the top of the page please go to Admin Panel > Content > Blocks and press the Add New Block button.

There are plenty of special offers and discounts you can display to your Magento 2 store customers using CMS blocks and pages. Besides, Magento allows you to display them practically in any place on your website. However the important thing is that in order for that block to perform its functions you need to target different groups of customers with different kinds of offers.
Magento 2 CMS Display Rule extension allows you to define what customer group, date, day of the week and even the exact time to display the attractive CMS blocks or pages. The CMS blocks and pages display is also defined by conditions based on product and shopping cart attributes. So, even if you decide to display the CMS block to the general group of customers, from Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. they won't see it if they don't fall into those conditions.
Magento 2 CMS Display Rule module makes your CMS blocks and pages management more productive allowing you to display plenty of CMS blocks and don't worry about enabling and disabling them since the extension does it for you.
