SUMMARY
The discussion centers on best practices for engaging with customers after receiving their first online order. Participants recommend sending a thank-you email to the customer, offering them the chance to add items before the order closes, and mentioning any applicable promotions, such as free items for orders over $50. Additionally, it's advised to provide an option for customers to opt-in to the newsletter mailing list rather than automatically adding them, ensuring respect for their preferences. This approach has proven effective, as one participant noted repeat orders from a customer who received such communication.

Contacting website guest orderersYes! If they leave a phone number, I often call them to thank them. I always send an email back to them saying thank you for their order...if they want to add anything before show closes on xx/xx/xx...if they are close to the $50 I mention the free item (when applicable)...and that I will be adding their email address to my monthly newsletter (and tell them no weekly spam and email is not shared with anyone).
This has created a customer that has ordered from me 2 other times (outside of their relatives show).
And congratulations on your first web order.

Congratulations on your first order! That's exciting news. As for whether or not you should email the person, I would say it's always a nice gesture to thank them for their support and let them know that you appreciate their order. However, I would also make sure to give them the option to opt-in to your newsletter mailing list rather than automatically adding them. Some people may not want to receive newsletters and it's important to respect their preferences. Overall, it's always a good idea to show gratitude to your customers and make them feel appreciated. Best of luck with your first KS!
