💬 Why send messages to your favorites?
When a user adds one of your items to favorites, it reveals marked interest in your product. This action can have two main motivations:
📌 Save for future purchase
The user wants to keep your item handy to buy it later, waiting for example for their next paycheck or comparing with other offers.
💰 Interest signal for negotiation
By adding your item to favorites, the user subtly indicates they are interested and perhaps hope to get a small discount or special offer.
🎯 The winning strategy
In both cases, by quickly sending a personalized message and possibly a reduced price offer, you maximize your chances of closing the sale. **The purchase decision is often impulsive** - it's made on a whim or in the emotion of the moment.
"Strike while the iron is hot!" Take advantage of the fact that the user has just seen and appreciated your item to trigger the purchase act.
