Using promotions to re-activate past customers isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s wrong to think you should just be handing out coupons left and right to achieve this goal. Instead, use segmentation to figure out how to cater your promotions to specific groups of customers.
A long-time customer who hasn’t made a purchase in some time might not need a coupon for 20% off to make another order. Sure, it might work, but there might be a more effective (and profitable) way for you to get them to come back. Personalized recommendations, a customized email, and perhaps a promotion that’s relevant to her average order value could be better appreciated.
This is a bit complex, so we’ve got you covered with some examples here: https://lnkd.in/e6hQ58Jq
