As we know well, everything that touches the customer should reflect your brand and create a selling opportunity. One of the basic marketing rules is to keep in touch with your customers.
This simple "VM Order Follow-Up" plugin does exactly that!

The plugin sends an HTML email to clients X days after they made an order via VirtueMart.
To create the template, just use any ordinary Joomla article. Moreover, you can use special dynamic tags within the HTML email:

- {order_total}
- {first_name}
- {last_name}
- {today_date}
- {site_name}
- {site_url}

Why follow up?
Think about it. If you send this important email within few days of the transaction, it's highly likely that your customer is still in a very receptive state of mind toward you and your company. This is not a newsletter, this is a kind of email that somehow relates to a specific order. It's more likely that your customer will open and read this email and will not delete it in one click...
So why do so many companies still waste this excellent opportunity to upsell, cross-sell, or further cement customer relationships?
Usually, it's because confirmation e-mail messages aren't generated by the marketing department. They usually come from customer service. Yet as we know well, everything that touches the customer should reflect your brand and create a selling opportunity.
Successful businessmen know that 80 percent of their business comes from 20 percent of their customers. They also understand that maintaining good relationships with existing customers takes a lot less money and will be paid off handsomely.
Customer loyalty
Fred Reichheld (author of “Loyalty Rules”) affirms that a mere 5% increase in customer retention can result in a 75% increase in customer value. Impressive enough not to ignore the role of loyalty, isn’t it?
But customer loyalty can’t be bought – it can be only earned by your caring attitude towards them. The "VM Order Follow-Up" plugin from InteraMind is a very simple tool to help you always stay in touch with your customers and increase the retention rate of your current consumers.
What's next?
This simple plugin is free and it is only the begining.
We are currently working on an advanced marketing tool that willbe full of functionality...
You will be able to specify rules and define conditions so your follow-up emails will be sent automatically to customers when, for example:
- Total amount of the products in cart equals or greater than $999
- T-Shirt from Dolce & Gabbana for $350 is added to wishlist
- HTC Touch Diamond is in the abandoned cart
- and so on
