Drift Marketing is an amazing tool, allowing you to build campaigns to target potential customers who have visited your site, added items to their cart, and then abandoned their orders before checkout. Adding Promo Codes to your Drift Marketing campaign is a great way to entice customers who have strayed away from your store to come back and complete their orders.
