Why choose the Mageplaza Product Alerts for Magento 2 stores?

Allow Subscribe out-of-stock notifications

In-stock notifications

When a customer decides to add any of your store items to their shopping list, it means that there’s a high chance of having one successful purchase. However, when these products are out-of-stock, two results could happen:  

• Customers will feel disappointed when their desired items are out of stock, which decreases their shopping experience in your store
• Customers don’t want to wait till your products are restocked and will search for it to buy in another store

Every possibility leads to only one reality: that you might lose lots of customers due to out-of-stock products. 

Mageplaza Product Alerts offer its users a function called Out-Of-Stock Alerts, which is beneficial to calm down the customers’ worry or disappointment in these situations.

Once the customers see the notifications of out-of-stock products, there is a “Notify Me!” button in a very prominent place to grab customers’ attention. 

When they click on it, a sounding pop-up appears and suggests they subscribe. So, they will receive notifications when their favorite products come back in stock as soon as possible. 

Congratulations notice for successful subscription

Once customers finish their subscription, a congratulation notice will appear. This can help ensure to the buyers that they will receive emails once their desired items are restocked.

Offer Price-change alerts

Price alerts for particular products

Product pricing is always one of the most concerning problems when it comes to making shopping decisions. An essential determinant that can make customers change their purchasing intentions in minutes. 

That can also explain why flash sales are widely used these days as an indispensable sales tactic to create immediate revenue. With the Product Alerts extension, shoppers can now choose to receive price alerts for their favorite items and buy with the best deal.   

Offer Pop-up subscribe box for price notifications

The Product Alerts by Mageplaza enables admins to display a popup that will suggest customers for newsletter subscriptions for price change.

This way, online shops can keep in touch and follow-up with those who are highly concerned about particular items and hope for a better price. 

Send notification to customers via email

Sending useful follow-up emails to customers plays a vital role in building customer relationships as it shows businesses truly catering to customers’ needs.

For an e-commerce business, the follow-up email is even more important to remind customers about your brand as well as their shopping cart. 

With the Mageplaza Product Alerts, you can send email notifications on restocked products with price change with ease. The module offer store owners 2 options for sending action:

• Auto-email by running cron every 1 hour
• Manual-email by editing from backend subscriber lists

This brings advantages to both sides:

• Customers don’t have to worry about missing product news and actively track it on the store sites
• Store owners can incorporate this sending notification feature to email campaigns for different marketing purposes. 

You will be amazed by how positive automated emails can affect your customers’ experience.

All product types supported

Mageplaza Product Alerts support all of the product types, including:

• Simple Product
• Configurable Product 
• Virtual Product
• Bundle Product
• Group Product
• Downloadable Product

Thanks to this module, admins can activate Back In Stock Notification and/ or Price Alert to every store’s items with just one click. And you won’t find any restriction related to product types for the alert setting. 

Most importantly, the extension also displays and automatically updates the requester list for each product in the editing section so that admins could view them with no difficulty.

Data reports on product requests

One outstanding feature of Product Alerts you are indeed interested in is the data repost. Incorporating the Magento 2 Reports module, Product Alerts enables admin to view all the stock availability and price changing information from the main dashboard.

These statistic data includes:

• Most products that are back-in-stock requested and price-change requested
• Recent requests for back-in-stock products and price-change products

With that valuable information, store owners can quickly assess and analyze their customers’ interests as well as shopping behavior about which pricing options are most compelling to them. 

Moreover, e-commerce businesses can modify their strategies based on these data for better marketing results. 

Non-login customers supported 

Many online shoppers don’t like to login an account when taking any action on an eCommerce website. Understanding this, Product Alerts also support non-login customers. It means that your customers can get price alerts or out-of-stock notifications without having to log in. 

The convenience this feature brings back makes it easier for customers to allow notifications from your store. Furthermore, the admin can activate this function to include the non-login group right from the admin backend via one click.
