More participation, higher conversion

Sending (and receiving) a link to a wish list often feels like too much. That’s why it doesn’t happen very much. When your customer can send a gift suggestion and personal note in a beautiful card-like email, you’re helping create a targeted experience that gift-giver and gift-recipient both appreciate. And marketers appreciate an ecommerce capability that gets used and site traffic that converts. Extole’s Drop-a-Hint is easy for everyone to use with no learning curve to slow adoption. Even the best registries and wish lists can be tedious, discouraging, and cumbersome. Not Drop-a-Hint!

On-brand images for awareness and acquisition

When someone uses Drop-a-Hint, they’re not just sending a link. They send your beautiful on-brand product images and a personal note. Gift givers land right back on your product detail page. As a marketer, you’re creating a more on-brand and purpose-built capability than generic and ignored product sharing buttons. By encouraging gift suggestions, your brand reaches prospects who may not know about you at all. A gift giver buys for someone else but maybe for herself too – after all, friends and family tend to like the same brands and products!
