9. Temporarily abandon your e-shopping cart
If you have an account with a company, try temporarily abandoning selected items in your e-shopping cart when you shop.
Here is how it works: Browse the company’s site while logged in and add items to your shopping cart. Then, rather than make a purchase, leave the site.
The company might email you a discount to encourage you to return. There’s no guarantee, but it only costs a couple of minutes to try.
