Giving products away is a great way to enhance your customers’ loyalty to your store. For customers that have spent a significant amount of money on your store, they will definitely feel appreciated.
We are going to install a plugin called WooCommerce Give Products to accomplish our goal in this post. The plugin is very simple to use and has quite limited functions. If you need more functions, simply leave a comment below and I’ll consider adding it to the plugin.
