This can be triggered post-purchase (direct) or through a brand requiring a registration for tips and offers. This can be particularly helpful in cases where the user is not directly known to a brand – for example, a purchase was done via a marketplace.

Hopefully, these ideas give an idea of the innovative uses of microns. A subscription is linked with a moment – a trigger (interest, purchase) and can either be a short series or a much longer sequence. The idea (from a brand’s perspective) is a forever relationship – something new every day which becomes a habit for the recipient, leading to better brand recall and hopefully more purchases over time.
