When you create a form to collect email subscribers, you may want to offer a discount code to the new subscribers after they subscribe. How to send the discount codes to new subscribers? You can display the code on the thank you page of your form, or send the code in the welcome email.
Discount code types
Before you use discount codes, you should understand discount code types.
In uShopAid, 2 types of discount codes are supported.
Fixed code. You create a code in advance, all the new subscribers will receive the same code. Discount codes can spread and cause losses to your store.
Unique code. You don't need to create a code in advance, you only need to define the discount rules, and after a person subscribes, a discount code will be generated for him. The codes every subscriber receives are different. Unique code is safer than fixed code.
Display the discount code on the thank you page of the form
You can display the discount code on the thank you page of the form, so when a visitor subscribes, he will get the discount code immediately and easily. This is used by most of the businesses.
You need to add a discount code element on thank you page. Please refer to the article Discount code to learn how to add a discount code element in a form.
Send the discount code in welcome email
You can choose not to display the discount code on the thank you page of the form. Instead, after the person subscribes, send a welcome email and display the discount code in the welcome email.
You need to create an automation to send welcome emails to new subscribers, please refer to the article Quick understanding of automation to learn how to create an automation.
If you want to offer the same discount code to all new subscribers, you only need to paste the discount code in the email content as follows.
If you want to offer a unique code to each new subscriber, you need to add the discount element into the email content as follows. Fill out the discount rules on the right side. When a new subscriber receives the email, a unique discount code will be generated according to the rules you set.
Note: If you have displayed the discount code on the thank you page of the form, and you want to display the same discount code in the welcome email, you can only do this:
1. The discount type of the discount code you displayed in the form should be a fixed code.
2. Copy the discount code you displayed in the form and paste it in the welcome email.
You can only do this, or the subscriber may receive 2 different discount codes.
