Why Shoppers Abandon Carts
Shipping costs, account creation, trust concerns, and distraction cause 70%+ abandonment. Email reminds and removes friction.
Recovery emails can capture 5–15% of abandoned revenue when optimized.
Three-Email Recovery Sequence
Hour 1: reminder with cart contents and support link. Day 1: social proof and FAQ. Day 3: optional incentive with expiry.
Show product images and dynamic totals. Mobile-first layout is mandatory.
When Discounts Help vs Hurt
Train bargain hunters if every abandon gets 20% off. Test small incentives on high-margin SKUs only.
Free shipping thresholds often beat percentage discounts.
