    When a visitor feels drawn to your event page but doesn’t register right away, BrightStar’s Visitor Recovery feature ensures the moment isn’t lost.
    ‍

    This intelligent, heart-centered system gently reconnects with visitors—whether through a one-time gratitude discount or through ongoing reminders leading up to the event.
    ‍

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

    ✨ What It Does
    ‍

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

    “Would you like us to remind you when the time feels right?”
    ‍

    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 reminders—ensuring they don’t miss the gathering.
    ‍

    💫 Key Features

    1. Exit Detection — Appears only when a visitor shows intent to leave.
    2. Gentle Modal Design — Optimized for conscious audiences; never intrusive.
    3. Smart Opt-In — Visitors can sign in instantly using email, Google, or Apple.
    4. Optional 24-Hour Discount — Configured by you, automatically applied at checkout.
    5. Ongoing Reminder Sequence — Keeps your event top of mind all the way until it begins.
    6. Revenue Attribution — Every resulting purchase (discounted or not) is tracked and credited.
