How To Make Cart Reminder Email Effective?

Use a live address for the email: The cart abandonment reminder should be from a live address, from a real person, and may include the picture of the person in the email signature. Make it sure that a real person is dealing with the customers’ queries to avoid any inconvenience.

Tell customers how to contact: Do include clear contact details in the abandoned cart reminding email. Provide them with a toll-free number to contact immediately. An important reason of cart abandonment is customers couldn’t get the right answer at the right time. The customer care representative should have record of customer concerns and share with the staff.

Talk in live environment: Invite customers to have a live chat with experts. If customers come to know they have someone to deal with their serious concerns, they will think about coming back. Design a special landing page, dedicated for live chat with the cart abandoners.

Offer incentives: The email reminder can be made attractive by offering incentives to the cart abandoners. These offers could be in the form of discounts, a big appeal for the customers to come back, complete the deal, and even shop more.

Invite for a survey: Use abandoned cart reminder email as an invitation for the customers to fill a survey form. Ask them about giving you the feedback, which will make them realize how much you care. In other way, such a feedback will help you improve your ecommerce site performance.
