Once you acquire a shopper, you can set the stage for what will (hopefully) be a long, fruitful relationship. But first, you have to convert them. Conversion is easier said than done given fierce competition, cagey social platforms, and budget-conscious shopping. During our most recent Coffee & Commerce event, we shared four ways you can overcome these challenges and turn non-buyers into customers. ☕ Pay attention to customer signals: From visiting a page to carting an item, everything a shopper does represents a signal you can react to with relevant messaging. They’re especially powerful when combined with product signals, such as whether an item is new or low inventory. ☕ Implement frequent testing: If you’re not sure what will get a shopper past the final hurdle of the checkout page, you can also use those customer signals to A/B test your way into a substantial conversion lift. We’ve found that free shipping is far more enticing toward the *end* of the purchase funnel than the beginning. ☕ Boost first purchase value through recommendations: Think of magazines and chocolate bars by the register. Most people aren’t going to the grocery store specifically for those items… but while they’re there, they may as well, right? You can mimic that by enhancing search result pages with relevant product recommendations. ☕ Optimizing social marketing: Social media marketing has grown far more expensive while walled gardens have made the platforms harder to scale. One workaround is to separate buyers from non-buyers before you input your audiences, and discount accordingly. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gB6rVRpX

$36,000 Reasons to Rethink Your Abandoned Cart Strategy 🛒💸 Have you ever wondered why customers abandon their carts? Abandoned carts are more than just lost sales… They're an opportunity to deeply understand and engage with your customer base. We recently recovered an additional $36,000 for a client in 30 days. Without resorting to deep discounts 👊⛔ Heavy discounting is often a strategy that can erode profit margins and offer only a short-term solution. Here’s what we did: 1️⃣ Segmentation by Purchase History: We distinguished between non-buyers and returning customers, tailoring our communication to address their unique needs and concerns. 2️⃣ Segmentation by Cart Value: Keeping unit economics and margins in mind, we differentiated our approach based on the cart value, opting for monetary discounts over percentage-based ones to maintain profitability. 3️⃣ Qualitative Research: By engaging in qualitative research, we gained insights into customer objections and preferences, enriching our website content, email campaigns, and paid advertising strategies with resonant messaging. This comprehensive approach underscores the importance of effective Abandoned Checkout flow. It's a strategic asset that can significantly enhance customer understanding, resonate with your target audience, and drive substantial revenue. All without eroding profit or devaluing your brand. Are you concerned that your brand might be overlooking significant revenue opportunities through abandoned carts? If the thought of potentially untapped revenue keeps you up at night, you're not alone. If you're ready to explore what targeted strategies and insightful analytics can do for your brand, we're here to help. We offer a limited number of consultations and audits each month. Make sure your brand is part of the next one! Book Your Call: https://lnkd.in/eVqtf3uH #emailmarketing #dtc #abandonedcheckout #ecommerce #retentionstrategies

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄: 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: Start by reminding them why they bought from you originally. Highlight the benefits they can expect from your product in the first touchpoint. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀: Use dynamic product feeds based on their previous purchases and browsing behavior. Depending on your ESP and Shopify apps, you can show them relevant products and content tailored to their interests. 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲-𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲: Offer a limited-time discount. This is especially effective if you don’t typically send discounts in your campaigns. If your margins allow, this can be a great way to bring customers back. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢: Add a personal touch with a message from the CEO. Show your appreciation for their business and encourage them to make another purchase. Also, ask them why they haven't bought anything in a long time. If a customer isn’t buying again, just sending another offer might not always work. Conduct some qualitative research to understand what's stopping them from purchasing again. Engage them with customer support to address any concerns, which can often be more effective in bringing them back. 𝗔/𝗕 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 to see what works best. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀: Reward your historically high-value customers. If you have a VIP customer with a high lifetime value, put extra effort into bringing them back compared to someone who has only purchased once. If you want, you can give them a more attractive offer. Remember, winback strategies need creativity. It's often not just about discounts or prices, as they’ve already seen those in your general campaigns. Think outside the box to reengage customers. And if they’re not going to buy again, finding out why is incredibly important. It ensures you get valuable insights before they churn completely. #ecom #ecommerce #emailmarketing

We recently added 10% in revenue to a portfolio of brands, by working with 💬 Harry Willis and Harvey Hodd at Relo! Read on to find out how we did this 👇👇👇 Firstly, what is Relo? They're a 3rd party app that helps with repeat orders and cross sells They use data to introduce the right product at the right time to customers How does this work in practice? > The app predicts when and what customers will want to reorder > We build out email flows around these data points > They use an "omniblock" and "magic cart" to convert subscribers faster Now I know this might seem a bit confusing So let's dive into each of these in a bit more detail... 1. How do you predict customer data? Relo trawls through all of your past customer behaviour Looking at purchases, product selections and timing of orders They then use this data to analyse new customer profiles And predict what they're likely to buy again And when they're likely to buy it! 2. What flows should we build out? Flows are setup to use these predictions And put the right message... In front of the right subscriber... At the right time! There's 3 main flows that Relo looks at: Repeat Buy: getting one-time customers to order again Cross Sell: identifying the best cross-selling opportunities dynamically for each customer Subscription Converter: turning more one-time customers into subscribers 3. What the h*ll is an "omniblock" and "magic cart"? Relo uses 2 super cool features to increase the take rates of the suggestions it shows customers... They also use an Omniblock to show dynamic product predictions inside of campaigns > A single block (section) is added to any email > This block is uniquely personalised to that customer based on their customer profile and previous orders > When clicking on the block, the customer will be taken through to the relevant Magic Cart A "magic cart" is used to reduce friction for the purchase > The cart is personalised to each customer > It's pre-loaded with the suggested next purchase > It includes dynamically suggested product offerings > It pre-loads the Shopify checkout with customer details for a 1 click order ++++++++ And that's it! This simple 3 step process added 10% to top line revenue for our clients Run an eCom brand? Maybe it can do the same for you!

𝗛𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲❓ Lots of eCommerce stores are currently going through tough times. Both when it comes to their results with an advertisement, but also when it comes to generating revenue! And of course, the current situation has something to say, but you shouldn't just sit back, and tell yourself that there is nothing you or your agency can do! Here are 3 simple tips, that you can do, when it comes to running profitable ads, at a time when results aren't as expected! 1. Make sure to take good care of your existing customers. Run retention campaigns, and also use e-mail marketing, which will help you get consistent sales, without having to pay tons of money for a new first-time purchaser! 2.

Instead of being active on just Facebook and Google, go to new platforms to ensure that you will target your ideal customers in all possible ways, which will give you the best chance of making them convert into long-term customers, with a high lifetime value!
