    When a visitor feels drawn to your event page but doesnโ€™t register right away, BrightStarโ€™s Visitor Recovery feature ensures the moment isnโ€™t lost.

    This intelligent, heart-centered system gently reconnects with visitorsโ€”whether through a one-time gratitude discount or through ongoing reminders leading up to the event.
    โ€

    No pressure. No spam. Just mindful follow-up designed for conscious events.
    โ€

    โœจ What It Does
    โ€

    Visitor Recovery activates when someone starts to leave your event page. A soft, event-specific modal appears:

    โ€œWould you like us to remind you when the time feels right?โ€
    โ€

    If you choose, visitors also receive a 24-hour thank-you discount for registering soon.
    Whether or not a discount is offered, each opt-in triggers a sequence of beautifully timed remindersโ€”ensuring they donโ€™t miss the gathering.
