E-commerce
E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services using the internet. It starts when a potential customer learns about a product. It continues through purchase, use, and, ideally, ongoing customer loyalty. Data powers the most successful e-commerce operations, which take advantage of best practices such as targeted email marketing, audience segmentation, and marketing automation.
What are abandoned cart emails?
If you’ve ever left an online purchase behind, you may have received abandoned cart emails, which often come in stages. The 1st is usually a gentle reminder to complete your purchase. The 2nd might give you a deadline—“Your order is about to expire!”—and the 3rd usually includes a coupon or discount to bring you back.How to write abandoned cart emails that convert
Clever copy and vivid imagery can engage your customers, but capturing their attention won’t matter unless you make it easy for them to buy the products they want. That’s why it’s crucial to communicate as clearly as possible.Timing your abandoned cart email
In general, sooner is better. An email sent shortly after the cart is abandoned can generate more revenue than the same email sent 24 hours later, so try to send the 1st email within 1 to 2 hours of the customer leaving your site.
