Etailers, Santa has an eye on you too. You don't want to end up on the shopping cart abandonment naughty list this year. Statistics show that online shoppers abandon more than 75% of their items prior to purchase. At that pace shoppers would only buy about 3 Days of Christmas. Here are a few tips to help etailers recoup some of their lost sales and share in the holiday sales cheer this season:
- Create a series - Few remarketing emails come in a series, most online retailers are missing a huge opportunity to engage shoppers and convert them into customers. The second and third messages require little additional effort or cost, but produce significant conversions and additional revenue.
- Determine optimal cadence - Test the timing and cadence of abandonment emails, changing the timing can significantly impact conversion rates. Listrak recommends sending at least three messages for maximum return.
- Use discount ladders - Maintain your margins by holding discounts as latency increases. The first remarketing message should be a simple reminder for abandoners then provide offers to the shoppers who still don't complete the purchase. You can even increase the offers in the third email for the remaining abandoners.
- Use reviews as social proof to build trust - Including product reviews, especially those created by other customers, in shopping cart abandonment campaigns adds a compelling value proposition to your messages.
