Do you know that RIGHT NOW

@mageworxdotcom

1. Pricing unexpected and

unclear costs,

hidden charges,

overestimated prices

can be the reason

why shoppers leave

your online store.

@mageworxdotcom

2. Payment issues

concerns about

payment security,

limited or complicated

payment options,

declined payments,

etc.

can result in a big

amount of lost sales.

@mageworxdotcom

3.Website performance

unclear navigation,

slow load time,

frequent crashes

and a bunch of other

site performance

issues can

put shoppers away.

@mageworxdotcom

4.No buying intention

shoppers can either be

in the process of

making a purchasing

decision

(they may be comparing

product options, choosing

the best pricing offer, etc.),

or they may be

just browsing with

no intention to buy.

@mageworxdotcom

More reasons for online cart abandonment

are described

in this blog post.

@mageworxdotcom

While the reasons for cart

abandonment are endless, failure to capitalize on these

lost sales opportunities can

cost your online

business too much!

@mageworxdotcom

@mageworxdotcom

First you need to

implement

technical

improvements

to your online

store

@mageworxdotcom

That is:

• enhancing website speed,

• moving to a better hosting,

• improving store navigation,

• minimizing checkout,

• and the like.

@mageworxdotcom

Second, reconsider your

pricing policy.

@mageworxdotcom

You need to:

• be more up-front with pricing

and fees,

• offer more pricing flexibility,

• extend the list of available

payment options.

@mageworxdotcom

However,

making a convenient and

shopper-friendly E-store

doesn’t guarantee

that people won’t leave their

carts in the middle of the

checkout process!

@mageworxdotcom

If shoppers keep

leaving your store,

you can resort to…

@mageworxdotcom

@mageworxdotcom

First you need to

collect your

customer’s

email addresses.

@mageworxdotcom

That can be done either via

introducing sign up forms

@mageworxdotcom

Or via the process of

signing-in/registration.

@mageworxdotcom

The pros and cons

of each method are described

HERE.

@mageworxdotcom

When emails are collected,

you may proceed to the next

stage…

@mageworxdotcom

@mageworxdotcom

Your first recovery email should not be selling.

It is a polite reminder of

what has been forgotten

and a suggestion to help.

@mageworxdotcom

This is an example:

@mageworxdotcom

The second email,

should be sent

1-2 days after the

initial follow-up.

@mageworxdotcom

A sequence email should create

a sense of urgency and a

stronger call to action.

@mageworxdotcom

Inform your shoppers

that carts may soon expire,

and that discounts or

availability won’t be

guaranteed at a later point.

@mageworxdotcom

Check this example:

@mageworxdotcom

The third email,

should be sent in

3-7 days since the

moment of cart

abandonment.

@mageworxdotcom

Clearly state that is the last chance

to recover purchases.

@mageworxdotcom

Incentivize your shopper!

Offer them

big time-limited discounts,

free shipping

and other benefits.

@mageworxdotcom

This is a good example:

@mageworxdotcom

And remember!

When it comes to

cart abandonment emails,

@mageworxdotcom

the most crucial factors are: an email subject line,

the tone of your message.

campaigns.

@mageworxdotcom

And if you manage to organize

the process the right way,

you will get most of your

abandoned customers

back!
