6. Okay now say the visitor is leaving your website, what are the odds of them coming back? Guesses?
Obviously one can't predict it because we don't really have a magic crystal ball that could predict the possible future isn't it? So what shall we do? Just let go of them? NO! All that you can do to want them come back is by striking them every now and then with email campaigns disclosing all the deals and offers that would intrigue them and would make them visit your website again.
Well, how to generate a mailing list? Do it manually? Won't it be tiring?
