Personalized

Calling out your subscriber by name is a great way to grab their attention in the inbox. Plus, personalized subject lines are 10% more likely to lead to a conversion!

  • Hey [First Name], looks like you left stuff in your cart!
  • [First Name], don’t miss out on this!
  • Looks like you forgot something, [First Name]
  • Hey [First Name], still thinking about it?
  • Your shopping cart is calling, [First Name]
  • Did you forget this, [First Name]?

  • Yo [First Name], your cart is about to expire ⏰
  • You might regret not buying these, [First Name]
  • Hurry [First Name]! These are going fast!

Discounts

According to Statista, the number one reason for cart abandonment is because shipping costs are too high. By offering a discount in your abandoned cart automation, you lower the barrier to purchase and increase conversion. Plus, who doesn’t love a discount?

  • 10% off just for you
  • Check out now for 15% off your order!
  • Complete your purchase with 10% off!
  • Free shipping if you check out NOW
  • 20% off to sweeten the deal

Quick tip: We recommend setting up a multi-step abandoned cart automation if you plan to include a discount. This way, your first email can be a simple reminder, while the later steps in your automation offer increasing discounts to encourage purchase. Plus, 3-step abandoned cart email series are proven to bring in 69% more revenue than single-step automations.
