Hi everyone,
Here in the Perth Tessitura Consoritum we're talking about the ability to do triggered emails for abandoned carts. I know it was quite a hot topic a few years ago but I haven't really heard much about it for a while.
Who of you are using abandoned cart triggered emails, and how successful is it for you? It seems there's a bit of work involved to get the triggered emails set up, so is it worth us exploring this further based on your experience?
Thanks in advance
Nancy
Hi, Nancy -
We transitioned our abandon page / cart strategy to Salesforce a year ago. In the last year, those emails averaged a 54% open rate and an 11% click through rate. (For context, Nordstrom has said that their abandon cart emails are opened at a rate of 38% on average.) Those engagement numbers definitely translate into sales, and the revenue is not insignificant.
Please give me a shout directly if you have any questions.
