HubSpot’s free CRM provides an abundance of value for ecommerce companies. Whether you're B2C, B2B, or a mixture of both, integrating your shopping cart to HubSpot enables you to unlock value across the customer lifecycle within marketing, sales, and service.

Many ecommerce brands know their data is critical – they prioritize collecting and storing it, and perhaps even use some of it – but aren’t able to be strategic about leveraging it to grow their business. And large amounts of data (as much as 60-73%, by Forrester’s estimate) simply sit dormant, locked in systems that don’t talk to other systems.

The History of Coupons in Retail and eCommerce 1887 marked the beginning of the use of coupons; Coca-Cola co-owner Asa Candler realized that utilizing coupons to increase brand exposure would boost sales and benefit his business. Since then, the popularity of coupons has risen steadily. The early 1900s offered shoppers coupons on dry goods like cereal; but their heyday came with the storm of the Great Depression.

Marketers put a lot of time and effort into perfecting their digital newsletters and promotional emails. They see that these types of emails can generate leads, sales, and conversions, so they focus on making them perfect. But recent data trends prove consumers are becoming conditioned to filter these messages in their inboxes, which means marketers must continue to look for additional opportunities to generate more sales. Conversely, the majority of consumers agree that purchase confirmation emails are the most valuable items in their inbox, and they are opened at a much higher rate. These emails are a great way to capture your customers' attention and get them to engage more with your brand. Read on to learn about how you can use this fact to your advantage to generate more sales with purchase confirmation emails.
