This is cool. Abandoned Shopping Cart Email

Abandoned shopping cart email

So, when you abandon an online shopping cart, you either forget to finish your purchase or decided that the time was not right for you to complete the purchase.  Hey, I thought of this many years ago as I’m certain you have as well but Sam’s club just reminded me that I abandoned my purchase.  They used an email to offer help and assistance to me so I could finish the transaction or get help.  Nice of them right?

If I was in a grumpy mood, it may not have been so cool, but I was in the mood for it and so I thought I would pass it on as awesome marketing.

The statistics would show more purchases because of this technology.  It’s not a guess.  If you have enough transactions, the cost is negligible. If you have the ability to build it, I would suggest doing so.  The email sends later on won’t cost anything so it’s just that one-time technology integration.

Ok, until next time!

This blog post

Newspapers take aim at Google News again. Maybe because they’re no longer scared

is interesting.

The implication is that there may indeed be a shift at some point from google indexing whatever it would like to having to pay for the privilege of indexing.  I’m not even sure how to wrap my brain around that without thinking more about it but I’m sure you will have some initial thoughts. My question is, what are the ramifications on all social media sites.  Will Pinterest pay for indexing photos?  Will twitter pay for links to certain news stories?   Did I mention this is Interesting?
