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, which also influences your open rate. 理想情况下, the preview text should enhance your subject line, engaging recipients.

As a bare minimum, 确保预览和主题行不相似.

Ecwid 商店废弃购物车电子邮件的默认主题行是, “您在购物车中遗留了物品。” 您可以随时对其进行编辑,使其更适合您的业务.

添加您商店的徽标

品牌标志是企业可以使用的最强大的视觉元素之一. 它们使您的公司电子邮件看起来专业且合法. They also help customers know right away who they got the email from, so make sure to include your logo in abandoned cart emails.

Usually brands put logos at the top of the email. It helps to remind customers about the purchase they almost made in the online store.

通过文案让您的品牌脱颖而出

说实话, 您的电子邮件不太可能成为客户生活中第一封废弃的购物车电子邮件. 因此,您的文案应该脱颖而出,以增加客户点击号召性用语按钮的机会.

首先告诉客户为什么您废弃的购物车电子邮件对他们很有价值. 也许这是一个友好的提醒,您为了他们的方便而保存了购物车. 或者您专门为他们准备了独家优惠, 像折扣券. 制造一点害怕错过的恐惧 (错失恐惧症) 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.

提供折扣券

没有什么比这更能吸引别人的注意力了. 您可以向客户提供折扣券以鼓励他们完成购买.

然而, 一些顾客已经习惯了回来获得折扣,以至于他们故意放弃购物车. 他们会期待在您废弃的购物车电子邮件中收到特别优惠. 为了防止因太多废弃的购物车电子邮件折扣而损失利润, 避免提供类似黑色星期五的交易. 有时多达 5% 关闭已经是激励客户完成购买的好方法.

另一种策略是在您的在线商店中添加有关当前特价商品的信息,而不是为客户留在购物车中的产品提供折扣.

在Ecwid, 您可以创建折扣优惠券并通过几次点击将它们添加到您废弃的购物车电子邮件中. 这是 怎么做.

列出购物车中的所有产品

废弃购物车电子邮件营销的很大一部分是向客户展示他们几乎要买的东西.

有时客户会忘记他们要找的是什么产品. 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.

如果您使用 Ecwid by Lightspeed 在线销售, 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, 也. Make it bright and distinctive. Add short and straightforward text. Experiment with different CTAs. All of these can dramatically increase the conversion level. 例如, “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, 电子邮件地址, 或任何其他信息,以帮助他们与您取得联系并消除任何疑虑. 如果他们可以联系您的商店, 客户会更放心购买.

您还可以添加指向商店社交媒体页面或商店地址的链接,以帮助客户找到有关您业务的更多信息.

按你的方式做

您废弃的购物车电子邮件看起来和听起来应该像是来自您的商店, 不是其他网上商店. That’s why don’t hesitate to tweak the email as you like to adjust it to your business.

例如, 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, as if you wrote it on your way to the office or while waiting in traffic—without logos and decorations. Such reminders look more personal and are perfect for small, “cozy” shops.

Peel keeps it simple

Customers will appreciate the service and attention. Even if they don’t complete their order, they can share some valuable feedback if they feel the email was written by a real person. As for big brands, they don’t often send such letters.

与 Lightspeed 的 Ecwid, 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, 你也可以 edit the HTML template.

包起来

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.
