Hi all,

 

Just a thought if it can be done and how easy/difficult it might be to do it...

 

have a "Send a postcard" of this product...

 

just like tell a friend, but instead sending just the link of the product, send the image (photo) of the product with comments (thinking of you) blah blah :-) ....

 

any idea of How it can be done? has someone done it? or any direction on how to do it easly?

 

Thanks

check Hotscripts for simple PostCard scripts.

Adapt that. All you will need to do is get the info from an article (including image) in the e-mail to the receiver instead. It will only require small adaptions to every occurance of the image.

 

You will need to limit the selection page though unless you want them to choose from all the articles in the database on a single page.... ;)

I've done this in the past with other scripts. I think I used one from BigNoseBird.com. Very easy to hack up...

 

Some things worth considering:

 

Rather than just sending the image and user's message, you can also pass the product description, pricing information, and link to add the item to the cart - all via email. Include the user's message AFTER all that and you may find that it works better as a promotional tool.

Hi,

 

I have solved the problem with postcard direct last night. Have a look to www.riedborn-apotheke.de/catalog if you want to see it.

 

If needed I can post the changes inside osC

Click on any product image - instead of the popup-window you'll see a new window where you can send the image as postcard to your customer, friend...

looked at your site and your postcard option. Very nice

 

only your dates are weird. for instance for Pharmadies Knie-bandage your date that the product was added is as follows:

 

Dieses Produkt haben wir am Sonntag, 03. Juli 2022 in unseren Katalog aufgenommen.

 

just a minor detail, I know

It isn't because someone else knows the answer, means I'm dumb, or is it?
