Capture post-purchase emails

What is it?

If you sell products, a passive opportunity to grow your newsletter comes directly after someone purchases from your online store.

You can encourage your customers to sign up for your newsletter before they leave the order confirmation page.

Most ecommerce platforms will give you the option to collect email addresses for marketing purposes. You can offer a subscription to your newsletter here.

Pitch it as an obvious next step that will help them get more value from the product via extra tips and insights.
