Ok, Thank you very much Swguy for looking into the issue for me. I greatly appreciate your time and effort. :)

I'll create a second stock cart and go step by step through my same process again and see if I can find out where I went wrong etc. If I can isolate exactly what i'm doing wrong i'll make note not to do that and share the information with you and others.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is the facility within this mod to see which customers have saved items for later? This would be really useful as an incentive could then be emailed to them to get them to purchase those items.

Any help, gratefully received! :)

I have not done this, and wouldn't recommend it. Most people would call that kind of unsolicited email "spam."

I disagree <sort of>, depending on the verbage within the email, the frequency, etc.

Go search around on amazon or Tiger Direct for a few different items, you will get a very targeted email within a day or two from them (if you are customer).

I think it is in the same vein as trying to recover from shopping cart abandonment, hey we noticed you added something to your cart, blah blah blah. One time, don't pester/spam them, etc. Its just a gentle reminder. Currently have over 10% abandoned cart recovery and the recipients don't seem to mind, in addition I have received great feedback due to what is contained in the email. ie shipping was too high, found it cheaper, etc. etc. and it allows me to adjust certain products as needed, if possible.


I have seen this 'feature' over used though. One site sent me an email about an item in my cart about every other day for a month. (they did not have a 'wishlist' feature) Annoyed me enough to purge my cart and NOT purchase from them.

Because the big boys do it doesn't mean they are not spamming.

I would absolutely call it spam if I had not asked to be "reminded" about a certain product!!

I don't disagree. TigerDirect is probably the worst about it. Amazon is a bit more subtle.


I like the Mailbeez option of giving the customer the ability to opt-out of further emails of that type.

Certainly wouldn't call it 'spam' as it doesn't really fall under the category of entirely 'unsolicited', as you are a customer and agreed to get emails from me.

I was looking at modifying either the 'Recover Cart Sales' mod to query the wishlist table or creating an addon for Mailbeez (like the satisfaction mod) to do exactly that.
