EVERGREEN IDEA: THE 'FREE PRODUCT' CAMPAIGN
This is a perfect eye-catcher for subscribers yet to make a purchase, and for those who need a nudge to return. You could offer your freebie to customers who buy a specific product, creating a complimentary pair. Or, you could give away your free product with every order over a certain amount, say $80, for example. Of course, make sure you're giving away something that is not too valuable money-wise, but still intriguing enough to lure shoppers in. If you have excess stock of particular item, that could be a good candidate!
