So what are the best practices to nail those abandoned cart emails?

 

Personalise it

Use the customer’s name and remind them of their specific items, while having a branded relatable design.
 

Create urgency

Phrases like “limited stock” or “your cart is about to expire” work wonders.
 

Offer incentives

Discounts, free shipping, or other value adds can seal the deal.
 

Keep it simple

Clean design and clear call to action (CTA).
 

Send a series

If the first email doesn’t cut it, follow up with a second or third reminder, without spamming your customers.
 
 
 

Mobile or Desktop: Which Devices Have the Most Abandoned Carts?

According to Monetate’s Q4 2023 results, mobile phones take the cake with an 80.2% abandonment rate. That’s higher than tablets at 72.3% and desktops at 70%.
 

 

So, what’s the deal with mobile?

  1. Less optimised mobile experience, user navigating can feel like running a marathon with hurdles.
  2. Smaller screen sizes makes usability a pain.
  3. Slower page load times as some mobile networks aren’t always speedy.
  4. Increased distractions and multitasking… Texts, calls, apps, oh my!
  5. Don’t let potential sales slip through the cracks! Reach out to Hatchd. today, and we’ll craft a killer abandoned cart email strategy to keep those customers coming back.
