Must-Have Elements of an Abandoned Cart Email

Now that you know what an abandoned cart is, let’s discuss how you can make the most of it. Here are some best practices for making a convincing follow-up email.

Come Up With a Creative Subject Line

A subject line is the first thing potential customers see in their inbox when they receive your abandoned cart email. Make sure it’s irresistible!

Your store’s name and a friendly reminder are a perfect match for a subject line. You can try informal, cheerful phrases like “Look what’s waiting for you” or “Did you forget something?” A classier “You left products in a cart” is also good.

If you offer a discount coupon in your abandoned cart emails, it’s worth mentioning it right in the email subject line to grab customersattention at once.

You should also consider testing different subject lines. As long as your subject line idea makes the email stand out and goes well with your brand, it’s worth trying out.

If you offer a discount, highlight it in the subject line

The text after the subject line is your email preview, което също влияе на вашия курс на отваряне. В идеалния случай, текстът за визуализация трябва да подобри темата ви, ангажиращи получатели.

Като минимум, уверете се, че визуализацията и темата не са сходни.

Темата по подразбиране за имейл за изоставена количка на магазин Ecwid е, “Оставихте артикули в количката си.” Винаги можете да го редактирате, за да го направите по-подходящ за вашия бизнес.

Добавете логото на вашия магазин

Логотата на марката са един от най-мощните визуални елементи, които бизнесът може да използва. Те правят фирмените ви имейли да изглеждат професионални и легитимни. Те също така помагат на клиентите да разберат веднага от кого са получили имейла, така че не забравяйте да включите вашето лого в имейли за изоставена количка.

Обикновено марките поставят лога в горната част на имейла. Помага да напомня на клиентите за покупката, която почти са направили в онлайн магазина.

Differentiate Your Brand With Copy

Нека бъдем честни, your email will unlikely be the first abandoned cart email in your customers’ lives. So your copy should stand out to increase the chance of customers clicking the call-to-action button.

Start by telling customers why your abandoned cart email is valuable for them. Maybe it’s a friendly reminder that you saved the cart for their convenience. Or you prepared an exclusive offer just for them, like a discount coupon. Create a bit of fear of missing out (FOMO) by clarifying it’s a limited-time offer.

Your abandoned cart email copy should be conversational and polite. Speak to a customer like you would in real life. Use simple words and phrases. Those are the general best practices, but if your brand has a unique voice, don’t hesitate to express it in your email.

Предложете купон за отстъпка

Нищо не грабва нечие внимание така, както голяма сделка. Можете да предложите на клиентите купон за отстъпка, за да ги насърчите да завършат покупката си.

въпреки това, някои клиенти са толкова свикнали да получават отстъпки за връщане, че нарочно изоставят количките си. Те ще очакват с нетърпение специална оферта в имейла ви за изоставена количка. За да предотвратите загуба на печалби поради твърде много изоставени колички, отстъпки по имейл, избягвайте да предлагате сделки, подобни на Черния петък. Понякога колкото 5% off вече е достатъчно добър начин да стимулирате клиентите да завършат покупката.

Друга стратегия е да добавите информация за текущи специални оферти във вашия онлайн магазин, вместо да предлагате отстъпка за продуктите, които клиентът е оставил в количката си.

List All the Products in the Cart

A big part of abandoned cart email marketing is showing customers what they almost bought.

Sometimes customers forget what products they were looking for. It won’t hurt to show them which items they added to the cart right in the abandoned cart email. The beautiful product pictures will remind customers how badly they wanted to buy your products. Don’t forget to link each item to its product page in the store.

Ако продавате онлайн с Ecwid от Lightspeed, your abandoned cart emails will display the list of abandoned products automatically—product images included! You don’t have to do anything manually here.

Add a Strong Call-to-Action

A call-to-action button, or CTA, is the culmination of your abandoned cart email. Everything that goes before that should be convincing enough to make people click.

The button itself matters, също. Make it bright and distinctive. Add short and straightforward text. Experiment with different CTAs. All of these can dramatically increase the conversion level. Например, “Complete my purchase,” “Finish checkout,” “Get it now,” etc.

In Ecwid by Lightspeed, the abandoned cart email template already has a distinctive “Complete Order” button. It’s clear, straightforward, and fits all kinds of businesses.

Add Your Contact Info

Imagine a customer is ready to finish the order but isn’t sure whether the order will arrive in time. Or the discount coupon doesn’t work. Or they want to ask a few more questions. You need to have or be someone who can address their problems.

In case your abandoned cart email doesn’t answer a customer’s question, make sure they can contact you quickly. Add a phone number, имейл адрес, or any other information to help them get in touch with you and clear any doubts. If they can contact your store, customers will feel more comfortable buying.

You can also add links to your shop’s social media pages or store address to help customers find more information about your business.

In Ecwid by Lightspeed, your abandoned cart email shows the contact information specified on the General Settings page in your Ecwid admin.

Do It Your Way

Your abandoned cart emails should look and sound like they’re coming from your store, not some other online shop. That’s why don’t hesitate to tweak the email as you like to adjust it to your business.

Например, you can design your abandoned cart email in corporate colors and choose a serious brand voice for your message. Or you can send a friendly letter, сякаш сте го написали на път за офиса или докато сте чакали в задръстването — без лога и декорации. Такива напомняния изглеждат по-лични и са идеални за малки, “уютни” магазини.

Peel го прави прост

Клиентите ще оценят обслужването и вниманието. Дори и да не изпълнят поръчката си, те могат да споделят ценна обратна връзка, ако смятат, че имейлът е написан от истински човек. Що се отнася до големите марки, те не изпращат често такива писма.

С Ecwid от Lightspeed, you have the complete freedom to edit the abandoned cart email as you like. You can easily customize the default template by changing the message or email subject, editing company info, and adding your logo to emails. Usually that’s enough to adjust the default email template to your business. If you need deeper brand customization, such as changing text formatting or color or inserting additional images, можете също edit the HTML template.

Завийте

An abandoned cart email helps to recover lost sales by reminding customers of the items they left behind and providing a link to the product pages.

Now you know what you need to create an irresistible abandoned cart email for your online store. Let’s revise:
