The goal of any good marketing campaign is to make the buying
process as easy as possible for your customers. CoffeeForLess
optimizes their customer experience with 1st time product
purchase emails and replenishment campaigns.
Product specific emails are a great way to engage your
customers and make it easier for them to purchase the
products they need. CoffeeForLess sends 3 different
automated emails to customers who have made their 1st
purchase of one of 3 popular product categories: Keurig,
Coffee People, and decaf K-Cups. These emails are
“re-mailed” with a different subject line 2 days later if
the original has not been opened.
