Subscribe = Buy?

Hi there,
I’m curious to know what happens when someone subscribes. Does the person in question (just) receive an email, or does that trigger an automatic purchase? Maybe this could be included in the “Help” section.
Thanks for a quick reply.
Best regards

Hi Traudelina,

everything I’m about to say is just speculation. I think that when a customer subscribes, they essentially have a watchlist of the sellers they’ve subscribed to. Then they just have to click on the respective seller to view their patterns. So there’s no need to first use the search function to look for patterns by that seller or to search for the seller. I don’t think this is linked to a purchase.

Best regards

Michaela

@Traudelina
Michaela has already summed it up correctly. Subscribing is just a kind of bookmark function so you don’t miss the patterns from the respective sellers as easily anymore. It has nothing to do with a purchase, although of course it’s always a good thing when a user likes a seller’s patterns so much that they subscribe.

Thanks for the quick info, @Michaela and @Josefa.

Good morning. :)

@Traudelina that would actually be a great idea!
With the email feature!

Josefa, what do you think?
If people already like your shop and have subscribed to it, getting an email once a month or so?
With the designers' latest patterns?
That’s how it works at Dw, too, and it brings customers back to CP.
So everyone actually benefits from it: the customer, the seller, and the platform.

 

At Dw, it’s called “Favorite Shop” and encourages clicking more than “Subscribe”! 

I went ahead and posted this in the “Suggestions” section 

@Josefa
I already understood the part about subscribing.
How can I see which shops I’ve subscribed to?
Can anyone help me here?

Many thanks
Best regards, Petra
 

@Küma – well... and get a few percent off when you buy via email subscription... :-)

You can find the shops you've subscribed to via this link:

https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/users/dashboard Scroll down a bit; under “Current Trends ” (with pictures), you’ll see the section “New Products from Users You’ve Subscribed to

.” Instead of “Subscribe,” maybe we could label the button “Bookmark” or “Add to CP Favorites.” We could consider

offering a discount for users who have subscribed to the shop in question.
I’d like to pass this question on to Alexander and Laura. :- )

@Josefa
Thanks for the info.
Great feature.
Best regards, Petra
