Category: Quote Request

A price quote sent to your customer is a great opportunity is an often neglected marketing opportunity. Customer has already shown interest in the product / service by inquiring. You can provide more product information, links to your social media sites, surveys for feedback and in general tell the customer about the benefits of doing business with you. Customer has already given you a clue by showing interest in a particular product. You can customize the marketing content to give relevant information for that product. RFQ-Toolkit can help you automate the process.

You can design your marketing content at the product category level or product level using the familiar WordPress HTML editor. You can access the editor by either editing a WooCommerce product category or the product’s advanced setup tab. Your email to the customer will include your content marketing material along with your proposal. Don’t miss on the opportunity to inform your customers when they inquire about your products.

For convenience, you can change the reply to email to be the customers email. Choose option 2 in RFQ-ToolKit setting in WooCommerce->Settings->RFQ-ToolKit->Email & Marketing under “Miscellaneous Options”.

Some themes show the “add to cart” button only in the single product page. You can choose the same thing for “Add to Quote” by unchecking the “Show Add to quote on archive and store page” option in RFQ-ToolKit setting in WooCommerce->Settings->RFQ-ToolKit->Quote Button. By unchecking this option, the “Add to Quote” will only be visible in the single product page.

You can automate some of the proposal writing process in NP Quote Request WooCommerce Plus, by using the WordPress actions as in the examples below:

1: Content before the main proposal such as greetings

add_action('gpls_woo_rfqtk_before_proposal','gpls_woo_rfqtk_proposal_before_link',10,3);
function gpls_woo_rfqtk_proposal_before_link($order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text){
$order =WC_Order_Factory::get_order($order->get_id());
$cutomer_name = $order->get_shipping_first_name();
printf( __( 'Hello %s', 'rfqtk' ) , $cutomer_name.',' );
}

2: Content after the main proposal such as your signature or call to action

add_action('gpls_woo_rfqtk_after_proposal','gpls_woo_rfqtk_after_proposal_link',10,3);
function gpls_woo_rfqtk_after_proposal_link($order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text){
$url='https://www.yourdomain.com/view-order/'.$order->get_id().'/';
printf( __( 'To accept this offer, please click this link.: %s',
'rfqtk' ),'' . __('Confirm','rfqtk') . '.' );
}

Add the code sections above to your functions.php in your theme and every proposal email will include the above content.
