My secret sauce for increasing orders
One of the companies I'm affiliated with has BOGOs each day this week that last 24 hours. So, I'm emailing them with approved strategies to save even more. Just for fun, I'm calling it Becky's BOGO Bonanza.
I first created a template because I know it will be buy 1 product, get another product free. I include the top 5 benefits for each product and share how much they are saving when they order either with the membership and full price.
Also, because I like creating graphics (it's a kind of therapy), I created a graphic template (it's allowed with this vendor) that coordinates with my website's style and colors that I can use each day.
I use the free version of the MailPoet plugin to send out the emails from my website at the rate of 70 per hour. In my website, I can see the stats and I can have it automatically send people who subscribe links to my posts on a weekly basis. I can use it to send out promotional information about the products they're interested in, too, since MailPoet allows me to set up multiple subscription lists based on interest.
To make graphics, I use GIMP, which is a free download for Mac and PC. It has a lot of capabilities. Pixels is another site that is free, but you don't download anything but your finished work.
I also created a Facebook group for people who want to ask questions. There, I also offer a giveaway each day for people who are participating in the Facebook group (builds excitement) and who order (increases orders) and who bring at least 5 friends who are interested in the products (leads to more orders). The products I giveaway I have on hand (often obtained for free from the company) and complement the products that the people are ordering. I also give the top 5 benefits for each product. All of this allowed by the company I represent.
Be safe! Don't do this without first reading the TOS and checking with your company.
Anyway, this is how I have been successful with my campaigns on the cheap. How am I doing with this campaign? I'll find out at the end of the week or the beginning of next week.
What is your secret sauce for promoting sales and increasing orders?

Thanks, I like it, too. I sometimes use Hubspot for more personalized business emails. But for Affiliate Marketing, I use MailPoet. It has some short code to "grab" their names and personalize it. So, "Dear [user:firstname | default:friend]" becomes Dear Michael. I like that touch.

Ok, a bit off subject but still on subject at the same time, I have tried to use GIMP several times and get frustrated. Did you learn how to use it on your own or did you learn from a tutorial? Just curious because I have wanted to make graphics before and can't seem to learn how!
I've learned from Youtube tutorials as well as on my own. Just recently, I purchased Affinity Designer, which has more functions and it's $50 total, if I remember right, compared with Adobe Illustrator's monthly fees. But, I'm still more familiar with GIMP, so I often revert back to that, especially when I have templates saved in that format.
