What ploys have you seen companies do to try to get you to come back to their sites?
Myself I've seen:
1. Site Contests
2. Birthday Reminders
3. "Reset Your Password" items which include "We hope to see you soon" and a prominent link at the bottom.
4. "We haven't seen you" mailers.

Gee, I don't do anything and I probably should. So I'll be interested to see what others have done too. The birthday emails for 7.2 will be good.

I've seen others use 1 + 4. I'm going to start using 2 on my forum.

Birthday messages will be great I send emails out about once every 3 or 4 months. It would be nice also to have some sort of detection on the site that would prompt people to post if they haven't posted in say 2 months and would show a box at the top of the page encouraging them to post

I used to with cassic and HTML e-mails send out a news letter Every month. Funny Birthday messages will be great I send emails out about once every 3 or 4 months. It would be nice also to have some sort of detection on the site that would prompt people to post if they haven't posted in say 2 months and would show a box at the top of the page encouraging them to post "NEW TOPIC" << Have you seen this?

E-mails are only any good if the users keep their e-mail addresses up-to-date. I have registered users that have e-mail accounts with ISPs that don't even exist anymore.

It's an opt-in newsletter - but still, I know I don't read half of the ones I subscribe to. (Obviously spending too much time in here, recently  ) But you're correct on the sales pitch - I use it also

Not sure what you mean by "Reset Your Password" items You know when you use the "reset password" screen? They automatically do that to get yoru attention and not have your isp flag it as spam lol...
