I have always been a sucker for buying e-books and “guru” course stuff online. These things are pretty expensive and most of the time well worth it. Lately, it seems that retaining customers who are potential buyers has taken on an interesting life of its own. I’ve found that when browsing, there are many sites that will offer huge discounts if you try to leave and are willing to put up with a pop-up. Now there are other discount sites for regular retail stuff like online coupon websiteswhich offer ways to save money through entering in their links, but for e-books and downloadable software, here’s a cool trick worth trying before making your next purchase.
1. If you are interested in buying the product, see if there is a “Trial” version available first and sign up to try it. Sometimes you’ll get an email offering you a discount once you become a “Trial” user.
2. Try clicking off the website to close the tab or change the URL website address to see if you can trigger a “Wait, Don’t Go” window that begs for your business by offering a discount as well.
3. If they have a sign-up place for their newsletter or some kind of free subscription, do it. Many times they’ll throw buying incentives (discounts) your way in the newsletters.
4. Do a google search for the product to see if others talk of a discount being offered.
Recently, I’ve been able to save over $100 on various products that I was willing to buy at full price. These savings have allowed me to buy more tools for a lot less. The internet has made things more affordable than ever due to the fact that no one needs to produce inventory. This means they (the seller) can cut costs and take a little less for their product rather than getting nothing at all.
I love technology!
