Mailbeez Addon Module : Wishlist Reminder

[Limitless]

I have hacked together an addon module that uses the Mailbeez engine that will send out a reminder to customers that have items in their 'Save for Later' wishlist. This addon requires that swguy's 'Save for Later' module be installed prior, as well as Mailbeez (obviously).

It is based on the code from balihr's 'Satisfaction Survey' addon for Mailbeez (which was based on an existing mailbeez module) and I will submit the module for review soon.


I am a technical guy, so 'marketing speak' doesn't flow from my fingers as easily as for some, so I am looking for someone to help with the initial email verbiage that will be contained in this email. Obviously this can be changed by the store owner easily, but would appreciate some suggestions for the initial addon release.

What this module does - Checks for customers with items in their wishlist and generates an email with a list of 'in stock' products w/images.

It waits for 30 days(configurable) after the last order date before sending the email, so if there was a recent purchase, they realize they have something in their wishlist, but just didn't purchase it at that time. It also looks for products added within 90 days (configurable) to 'catch' any customers that have wishlist items prior to installing this module. I think that backing that down to anything greater than the 'wait' date would allow users to add something to their wishlist and get reminded of new items added on a regular basis without annoying them.

The email 'wording' is as follows:


Hello $firstname,

Thank you for stopping by $storename. It looks like you recently added the following item(s)to your wishlist:
<blockquote>$htmlProductList</blockquote>

We just wanted to let you know that these items are in stock and available today.

We hope you found everything you were looking for on our site and if there is anything we can help with, you can simply reply to this email.

Thank you once again for stopping by and hopefully we'll hear from you again soon.




Any wordsmiths want to take a crack at rewriting that with more 'call to action' marketing speak?

Hello there,

I found this thread via the Save for Later thread. I think it is a great idea. Just wondering if this is meant for the Wishlist module, or is it for Save for Later? If for Save for Later, I would probably change the text to refer to that, but otherwise, it sounds great!!

The module is for the 'Save for Later' mod. I don't have the wishlist mod installed, but I could probably modify it very easily for that module as well.

I will update the text to reflect the proper module and release it shortly after a bit more testing.
