What is an abandoned cart?

In ecommerce, an abandoned cart is when a customer adds items from your store to their virtual shopping cart but then leaves before completing the purchase. 

Why do customers abandon shopping carts?

Many of the reasons cart abandonment happens are out of your control. Some customers could be exploring their options, making price comparisons, and saving items for later. Other times, life happens, and quotidian situations like a bell ringing can occur in the middle of any online shopping spree.

Abandoned Cart Emails

One of the most popular strategies to avoid shopping cart abandonment is email marketing. In case you didn't know, besides beautifully designed email marketing campaigns, Chip sends automatic Abandoned Cart Emails to your customers. These emails can help you recover abandoned carts to increase your conversion rate on dropship products and print-on-demand items. 

The best part is that they are automatic! You don't have to do anything to set them up, and your customers will receive a friendly reminder to complete their purchase directly into their inbox. 

Run retargeting ads  

Of course, there are also other ways to remind your customers of their unfinished purchases besides email. Retargeting ads target past users who visited your website but didn't complete the checkout process. They act like friendly reminders for customers to keep your products on top of your past visitors' minds.

You can use Facebook dynamic ads to craft perfect retargeting ads for each customer. This way, you can display exact and related products users were previously interested in based on their last page interaction data. 

Expiring offers and coupons are a great way to encourage customers to recover abandoned shopping carts. Match them with your retargeting ads to push viewers to take immediate action.

Now that you know the best strategies to recover abandoned carts, you can tell that Chip has your back with email marketing, one of the best tools available set up automatically for you. This way, you can focus your time on what really matters: Selling more!
