What should I never say in a E-commerce thank you?

Don't brag about your own store unless it's relevant. Trying to go around them to the business owner in a way that's obvious. Don't dump a calendar link as the first follow-up unless they asked. Those three mistakes show up constantly in E-commerce inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

Should e-commerce follow-up emails always include a discount?

No. Discounts train waiting. Use them when inventory or a true stall requires it. Service updates, fit help, restock notices, and useful how-tos often pull more margin than another 10% off. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

How should a thank you to a E-commerce Procurement Officer change for after networking?

The procurement officer is guarding policy, vendor risk, and negotiated value, so the ask should stay at "the next document or a date for review, not a 'relationship meeting'." If you

What metric should I mention to a E-commerce Procurement Officer?

Should a thank-you email include a sales ask?

Usually no. Gratitude that immediately turns into a booking link feels transactional. If a next step was already agreed, you can confirm it. Don't invent a new ask on the back of a thank you. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
