The Skinny
Companies have one, ultimate objective: making money. Psychology and common sense says people want more for less, thus the huge saturation of “sales.” Frequently, products are priced higher than what companies actually want to sell them for so when they “mark them down,” customers feel as if they are saving money when in reality it’s the original price. It’s basic marketing. However, products have to sell eventually, thus they are given deeper discounts. A good way to get the message out are promotional newsletters. Statistics are very important to any successful company, which is the reason they love to take your personal information. With straight-to-email newsletters, both parties win.
Sign up to receive new product information, coupons, and discounts. Frequently, companies will send you coupons just because you haven’t purchased anything in a while or because you put an item in your online shopping basket and never bought it. If you want, you can make an email address specifically for recieving discount and newsletters like “[Your Email Address][email protected]”
