Instructions
- Measure abandonment rate. Calculate cart abandonment % = (carts created - purchases completed) / carts created over 30 days.
- Segment abandoned carts. Group by cart value, product category, traffic source, and device type.
- Design recovery sequence. Create 3-email flow: reminder (1h), incentive (24h), urgency (72h).
- Set incentive rules. Offer tiered discounts based on cart value — 5% for <$50, 10% for $50-$150, free shipping for >$150.
- Implement tracking. Tag recovery emails with UTM parameters; track recovery rate, revenue recovered, and ROI.
- A/B test subject lines and CTAs. Run 50/50 splits on email variants; measure open rate, click rate, and conversion.
- Report weekly. Dashboard: abandonment rate, recovery rate, revenue recovered, top abandoned products.
