ABANDONMENT CAMPAIGN BEST PRACTICES 10

WHEN DO YOU SEND?

HOW OFTEN? Create a drip campaign to follow up with customers who haven’t purchased. Drip 2 – Sent 2-days post-abandon Drip 1 – Sent 1hr post-abandon 12

WHAT DO I INCLUDE? Include information and imagery for the products each visitor added to cart within the email creative. 13

OPTIMIZE Optimizing email creative for best conversion Heavy site navigation or product recommendations within email creative can be a liability. Goal: Re-engage visitors in the buying process, not shopping process 14

LET’S GO BEYOND 15

BEYOND BASIC Going Beyond Basic Purchase Abandonment Leverage the following advanced refinement capabilities to take your abandonment campaign beyond basic: Abandonment Causality Shopper Type Product/Category Added to Cart Frequency Capping Campaign Prioritization 16

WHO’S YOUR SHOPPER? Identify what types of shoppers are abandoning so you can send customized messaging based on each shopper type. Highly engaged non-purchaser New/returning visitors Paid traffic shopper Predicted to purchase 19

TYPE OF PRODUCT Re-engage with visitors who abandon specific brands or category of product with custom messaging, like a unique subject line and hero image. Product education/nurture Product category Product price and/or margin Premium brands & co-ops 20

SUCCESS STORIES 21

FREQUENCY CAP Avoid “pavlovian abandoners” by capping the frequency a visitor can receive a purchase abandonment email. Best practice: Typically between 30-60 days. The Smarter Remarketer tool makes it easy and simple to frequency cap based on each behavioral campaign. 22

PRIORITIZE Avoid oversaturation of emails by prioritizing behavioral campaigns and general marketing campaigns Base priority of emails on: – Highest conversion rates – Highest click through rates – Relevance (batch & blast emails last) Emails with highest ROI and customer engagement should be highest priority 23

BEYOND THE CART? 24

WHAT’S BEYOND THE CART There’s more to the visitor shopping experience than cart abandonment What about those abandoning your website throughout the shopping funnel? – One-time Browsers – Repeat Browsers – New visitors – Acquisition/Traffic Sources 25

GO FROM ALL ANGLES How visitors are getting to your site – Paid traffic, search traffic, affiliates, etc. Customer browsing activity once on your site – Content engaged with, products viewed, etc. Marketing email opt-ins – Optimize your welcome email series based on visitor behavior 26

UP-FUNNEL Re-engage with visitors browsing specific categories/products but not adding items to the cart. – Custom email subject line and/or hero image based on category browsed – Display browsed products – Merchandise like-products 27

WHOLE FUNNEL IMPACT Purchase Abandonment ONLY On average, 3% site wide revenue increase expected Overall Site Abandonment On average, 6% site wide revenue increase expected Up-funnel campaigns can have the same impact, if not more, as cart/checkout abandonment campaigns 28
