Customers vs. Subscribers
- A subscriber is not always a customer. Someone can sign up for the newsletter only and not create an account.
- A customer is not always a subscriber. Signing up for the newsletter is a separate action from creating an account and purchasing an item.
- A customer and a subscriber can be the same. If a shopper checks out on the storefront, creates an account and opts into the newsletter, they are a customer and a subscriber.
