17. Create a "competitions" page that you could use to run competitions on your website whereby visitors can enter their email address to be entered into a draw or have points added to their account for automatically entering it. This will encourage your visitors to return and enter the competition again in order to win the prizes that you offer.
18. Reward visitors for posting positive reviews about you on your website by giving them "points" which can be spent in return for products, discounts or free gifts.
