Not with QVC,  but on most other sites, I fill my cart then abandon my cart on purpose.

 

More often than not, I get an e-mail telling me to check out and usually an offer of free shipping.

 

I did this this week with GARNET HILL.  I wanted some linen sheets and the shipping was over $18.  I ordered them after the free shipping e-mail.  No way will I pay shipping costs if I don't have to.

 

Many retailers do this.


Also, retailers will often offer a coupon plus free shipping when they see you have left your cart.  It works if you are patient enough.

I think they are also told to say, "A lot of people are buying more than one."  They try to create urgency to buy and buy now.  Don't leave it in your cart!  Hurrrrrrryyyyy!!!

Yes they have been saying this for a long time but I have to agree, I heard it said yesterday alot!  Especially Pat for some reason.

The intensity and frequency have definitely been amped up the past few months.

 

Every host several times a show indicates (to me) that they have been urged, requested, mandated to repeat it.

@gaga    David is always saying "so, how many just in this show alone?" Guess he'll make sure the powers that be get his count in. I love him, tho.

He's got the self-promotion bit down to a science.
