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).

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 totally agree. Our customers will have confirmed they are willing for us to send them infrequent emails when they created an account, so not sure it would fall under the category of spam. I guess all I wanted was the ability to be able to see who had saved products for later, even if I didn't email them, just to see 1) whether people find the 'save for later' facility useful and 2) have that data available so I can start asking myself some questions as to why they didn't buy those certain products at the time.

Many thanks for your time

I have a SQL script that I use to query the tables for that info.

Nothing 'clean' yet, just gives me an idea of what people are putting in their 'wishlist'.


SELECT customers_firstname, customers_lastname, products_name, products_price, customers_basket_quantity
from customers_basket_later
INNER JOIN customers ON customers.customers_id = customers_basket_later.customers_id
INNER JOIN products ON products.products_id = customers_basket_later.products_id
INNER JOIN products_description ON products_description.products_id = products.products_id





I am close to completing a mailbeez module to get that info and send an email out.

Perfect! Just what I am after, to get an idea of who has what stored for later in their cart. Would be very interested to hear when you have completed your mailbeez module.

Thanks Limitless!

Getting back to the Save for Later mod, I've got a question regarding moving the 'Checkout', 'Back to Shopping', and 'Shipping Estimator' buttons.

Its not too bad when you have few items in your saved for later section but if I have 10 or so items, it pushes the 'checkout button' way down the page, way way below the fold.

Can I safely move them back up above the save for later section?

[Design75]

yes you can

[Limitless]

Thanks. I didn't think that would be an issue, but always safer to ask first and break later.

Need some suggestions before I submit the plugin for download.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for this great mod. My site uses the default template, so there's no custom template. I can't figure out where to put the files in the 'Common Files' folder. I know you say in the root directory. When I open the Common Files folder it shows a folder named Includes. I opened my Includes directory and copied the files into the various sub-directories in the Includes directory for my site. The Save for Later button shows but when I click it a blank page appears with an error message. Where did I go wrong :-(
Thanks,
Chiliboy
