Set promotion codes so a customer gets repeat promotion codes after purchasing. 

Overview

Encourage repeat business with a "thank you" promotion code. Once your customer buys the required minimum, they'll not only receive a % discount on the promotional product, but they'll also get a NEW promo code emailed to them.
This means they can return to purchase more of the same products at the promotional price, without having to meet the minimum quantity again.

How do

...

repeating promo codes work? 

  1. You specify the product(s), the discount, and the minimum qty required. 
  2. You spread the word about your nifty new promo.
  3. Your customer purchases the required qty quantity of eligible product(s), and applies the promo code at checkout. 
  4. Your customer receives an order confirmation email as usual, but this one includes a thank you message and a new, randomly-generated promo code!
  5. The new code entitles your customer to the same discount on the same products, but they don't have to purchase the minimum quantity they bought the first time around.
  6. Your customer becomes a happy, repeat customer. (thumbs up)
