Come Back Incentive Emails
Shopping Tip #3
This tip is one I just began noticing and had to ask around to see if it was only happening to me. To my surprise, the people I asked also have had the same experience I am about to relay.
When I am interested in shopping at a certain online store, often one that I have shopped at before and am registered with, I click on the site and browse a bit. Then I leave.
Within moments, I get an email from the site with a special or a promotion! At first I thought it was a coincidence but I have paid close attention and it happens way too often to be coincidental.
Often I will go to a site, click around, maybe even put something in my cart then change my mind or decide to come back later. I click out and within a half an hour, usually much sooner, my inbox has a letter from the site in it with an incentive to return.
I am not sure if you have to be a prior shopper with the site for this to happen or if you have to be registered with the sites. I usually register with any site I shop with so that I have easy access to my order info.
But I can tell you that, if you want a deal and there isn't anything going on at the moment, head on over to the website you are interested in, click around, maybe add something to your cart, then leave.
If they are tracking cookies, they will send you an email. Often I get a promotion for money off, free shipping, or a percentage off my order.
I then click through that letter and use the codes given!
As I said, this doesn't happen on every site I browse but it happens often enough for me to pass it on to you.
If you don't get an email within a half an hour, they don't use the cookies/come back email incentive.
I would say about half the sites I frequent do this.
Give it a shot! You have nothing to lose and you may just end up with a sweet deal. I do encourage you to register with sites you like. Don't leave your financial details on the site but fill in your name and address and, if they ask, pick a password. This allows the site to know who you are. The emails work even better if you sign in, browse, and then leave.
The site will go to any lengths to get you to come back and finish shopping.
Let me know if this method works for you!
