I received an email from a good friend of mine and most of you may know her. Her name is Christina Hills and she is the ShoppingCart Queen.
She discovered a new coupon trick that makes life much easier for your customers!
Here is how it works:
————————
The Original Way
————————
Setup a coupon inside your 1ShoppingCart account. Here are the steps to do this:
- Login into your 1ShoppingCart account
- Scroll over ‘Products’ and click on ‘Coupons’
- Click ‘Create New Coupon’ and create your new coupon. Name it whatever you like but for our example I’m going to name mine ‘EXPERT’
- Click the ‘Save’ button
Just like that your coupon is created.
The customer normally enters the coupon code ‘EXPERT’ on the order form in the box called ‘Coupon code (optional)’, and clicks the ‘apply’ button.
BUT, there’s an easier way!
————————
The Easier Way
————————
You can have a link that a person clicks that will drop the coupon into their shopping cart for them, instead of them having to enter the coupon code themselves.
Here’s what you do:
Create an Ad Tracker. To create an Ad Tracker follow these steps.
- Scroll over ‘Email & Marketing,’ then over ‘Ad Tracker’ and click ‘Create New Ad Tracker’
- Setup the Ad Tracker just the way you want it but be sure to have the ‘Destination URL 1′ set to your Product Link – Checkout URL of the product you want to sell.
- Click Save.
- Grab the Ad Tracker ID. This number is the last 6 numbers of the ‘Ad Track Campaign Link URL’ (the numbers after “AdID=”)(Example: http://www.on2url.com/app/adtrack.asp?MerchantID=111901&AdID=447700, your Ad Tracker ID would be 447700)
- Create a coupon by following the steps above with the same ad tracking ID as the ‘Coupon code’.
When the customer clicks on the adtracker, it will take them directly to the shopping cart and drop the coupon code into their basket, so they do NOT have to enter it manually.
It blends the functionality of AdTrackers and Coupons together!
Hope you enjoyed today’s lesson and we will talk soon!
