The message can contain something like “do you want to get notices concerning the current information?” or “enable notifications to be reported regarding recent discount rates?”.

The counterparty – online sellers, vehicle lending companies, etc – will remain in profit, too – customer will definitely get a tip regarding the item he/she planned to buy. As well as such a marketing approach is nearly free – this element is very important for corporations.
