Customer Notifications

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

Shoppers find it extremely convenient and practical to use customer notification services: no need to visit a web-site ten times a day trying to catch a moment when some rare product is finally in stock or when a price on a dream computer goes downs. Being a helpful tool for your customers, notification mechanism comes handy for you as a merchant. It helps you identify your customers' preferences and needs, thus assisting in planning your sales without employing market experts or sales assessment consultants.

Here is how the mechanism works: when your store users fill out notification requests, those requests are placed in a database. When the notification condition is met, a 'Ready' flag is set on the request. The store administrator reviews the request and approves the notification dispatch. The paragraphs below describe the procedure in more detail.
