Imagine this: You’re scrolling through a website, something catches your eye, but then you get distracted — maybe your phone goes off or you have to get back to work.
You close your laptop, completely forgetting about those snazzy sunglasses or fun graphic tees you were just checking out moments before.
Of course, this happens all the time, and as consumers, it doesn’t seem like a very big deal. But for eCommerce businesses, it can be really detrimental to your bottom line. Abandoned carts can lead to a 75% loss in potential sales. And frankly, that’s a lot of money to be left on the table.
So, what can you do about it? Send automated abandonment emails. These emails recapture your shopper’s attention, remind them what they were looking at, and get them back on their customer journey, wherever they are.
Below, we’ve outlined the 5 kinds of abandonment emails you can send to your shoppers to convert them into paying customers. Let’s dive in!
