Subscription reminder


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a module or other means to send out a subscription reminder. I sell a physical magazine, not virtual. Taking payment is like any other product (pay for one year, receive magazines), but I want to send a reminder at a preset time to tell anyone who has not already renewed they have to renew now to keep receiving the magazine.

 

I could use the Newsletter as a reminder, but it goes to everyone who subscribes. Or, I need a module that will allow me to set a date for a reminder e-mail to go out - I could add this manually as an order is made, but it needs to extract that email address from the customer order.

 

Or something ... I've searched for subscription modules, paid and unpaid, but they all seem to concentrate on virtual subscriptions, access to a store, setting up discounts or taking recurring payments. I only want a reminder email to go on a date I decide on to email addresses collected when the order was placed. It could be done manually for sending a reminder, if the emails were extracted and collected by a module that only extracted these for specified 'products' ...

 

Any ideas how to find a solution, anyone?

Thanks ...

 

I had spotted this module, but it seemed to do too much for my needs. For example, customers won't select their own start and end dates, I will do that (according to when the magazine is published). Nor will they 'manage' the subscription in the sense that the shop is set up to buy a product (they simply buy a one or two year subscription and receive a magazine in the post for one or two years). Renewal is by buying another one or two years when the old one runs out.

 

A notice to renew the subscription is sent with the last issue of the magazine, but of course some subscribers forget to renew and I have to post them a reminder. I'd rather do that by email, but therefore need to capture emails and place these into groups according to when the subscription runs out, so that I can then send a reminder by email to that group only.

 

Could I adapt your module to do that, without having other things like the date picker appearing?

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
