Do not send out targeted offers!

Please don't use the targeted offers, I regret it. Please create a code manually with expiration and send it out.

The targeted offers don't have expiration dates, so now customers can abuse the code constantly.

I contacted etsy about this issue and they have no way to end it.

Etsy, please create an expiration date for the targeted offers - us sellers are losing $$ and in return, etsy will lose $$

@PsychicDevyn: Abandoned cart and Thank You targeted offers do now have an expiration date. In some jurisdictions it might be illegal to not honor them if they have not expired.

"Abandoned Cart and Thank You coupons sent through the Targeted Offers tool are single-use coupons and can only be used by the specific buyer who interacted with or made a purchase from your shop. " per https://www.etsy.com/legal/advertising/#promote

I have lots of sales from those codes so I’m happy about them. I have them set at 10%.

Ok good for you? Some people can't live off sales for the rest of eternity. There needs to be a max # a person could use a code AND an expiration.

Re: Do not send out targeted offers!

it does say this:

Thank you

Send an offer to a buyer after their order ships, to thank them for their business. Offer expires 1 year after it’s sent.

Abandoned cart

Send an offer when someone leaves an item from your shop in their cart. Offer expires 60 days after it’s sent.

Re: Do not send out targeted offers!

Just my opinion but I never offer a discount that I can't afford to let anyone use at any given time.  My discount is only 10% so it's not huge.

My coupon codes and targeted offers have brought in tons of sales so I can't complain.

Etsy really needs to rethink their metaphysical policies.

And, @PsychicDevyn I am pretty sure you cannot use celebrity names to promote your shop.
