Offer Mail
Advisors can send Free Minutes or Offer Mail to customers they’ve already spoken to encourage them to come back for another conversation. Free minutes are a great marketing tool to help build long-lasting customer relationships. Despite customer confusion, free minutes are not meant to provide a customer with a free reading but to incentivize them to speak with you again. They’re also a great way to apologize for any technical issues that may arise during your reading.
How free minutes work
Offer Mail is a type of Mail on Keen that advisors use to send free minutes to their existing customers. Advisors can send up to a set of five free minutes in each Offer Mail message sent to a customer. Free minute offers automatically expire after 14 days.
Free minute offers are redeemable only by the customers you send them to and may be used for any of your active listings. Free minutes are redeemed by the customer in the order they are received. If you send multiple sets of free minutes, the oldest set will be used first. Customers have the option to use the full set of free minutes in one session or spread them out over multiple conversations until fully redeemed. For instance, if you send a customer 5 free minutes, they can use 3 minutes for one reading and 2 minutes for another. If you send multiple sets of minutes to a customer, keep in mind that only 1 set of free minutes can be used for a reading at a time.
You may send a maximum of 30 Offer Mail messages per month containing free minutes to a single customer. Please note this limit applies to the number of Offer Mail sent and not the number of free minutes sent to the same customer. Just like sending Regular Mail, please keep in mind advisors usually experience issues with sending Offer Mail to more than 100+ customers at a time.
