Research shows that nearly 70% of online shopping carts are abandoned, but the good news is you can recover these sales.
With an abandoned cart recovery email, you can target shoppers who placed one or more items in their cart but did not complete the checkout process. The email provides a link back to the shopper's account page and invites them to complete their checkout.
CommentSold's abandoned cart recovery email series contains three emails: a reminder that the shopper has an item in their cart, a reminder to check out before the cart timer expires, and a notice that the cart expired but the item(s) is still available in your shop.
Note: Abandoned cart recovery email messages cannot be customized.
How an Abandoned Cart Recovery Email Benefits Your Shop
- Boost sales and conversions by re-engaging shoppers who abandoned a purchase.
- Create a sense of urgency with a cart expiration timer.
