In 2016, we got a lot more automated, different deals were sent out every day for eight days, and people could easily sign up for reminders. We also started targeting; If we had a discount on a food disposer, we did email people who already had one of our taps saying it would be a perfect pairing” said the Company digital and eCommerce manager.
