E-commerce Email Remarketing
Automated email campaigns targeting e-commerce customers based on their shopping behaviour, including browse abandonment, cart recovery, post-purchase follow-up, and win-back sequences.
In-Depth Explanation
E-commerce email remarketing uses automated, behaviour-triggered emails to re-engage shoppers based on their interactions with an online store. These automated flows typically generate 30-40% of total email revenue with minimal ongoing effort.
Essential e-commerce email flows:
- Welcome series: Onboarding new subscribers with brand story and incentive
- Browse abandonment: Following up when visitors view products without adding to cart
- Cart abandonment: Recovering shoppers who add to cart without purchasing
- Checkout abandonment: Targeting those who begin checkout but do not complete
- Order confirmation: Transactional email with cross-sell opportunities
- Post-purchase: Thank you, product tips, review request
- Replenishment: Timed reminders for consumable products
- Win-back: Re-engaging lapsed customers
- Birthday/anniversary: Personalised celebratory offers
Email remarketing best practices:
- Personalise with product images from the customer's session
- Include social proof (reviews, ratings) for viewed products
- Create urgency without being deceptive (stock levels, limited offers)
- Optimise send timing based on customer behaviour data
- Segment by customer value and engagement level
- Test subject lines, content, and timing for each flow
- Include easy path back to the exact point in the shopping journey
Revenue benchmarks by flow:
- Welcome series: 10-15% of total email revenue
- Cart abandonment: 15-20% of total email revenue
- Browse abandonment: 5-10% of total email revenue
- Post-purchase/cross-sell: 10-15% of total email revenue
- Win-back: 3-5% of total email revenue
