Which email flows should I set up first?

Priority order: 1) Welcome series (captures new subscribers), 2) Cart abandonment (recovers lost revenue), 3) Post-purchase (drives reviews and repeat purchases), 4) Browse abandonment (re-engages window shoppers), 5) Win-back (reactivates lapsed customers). The first three flows alone can generate significant incremental revenue.

What email platform is best for e-commerce remarketing?

Klaviyo is the market leader for e-commerce email with deep Shopify integration and powerful flow builders. ActiveCampaign offers strong automation at lower price points. Omnisend is purpose-built for e-commerce. Mailchimp works for simpler needs. Choose based on your e-commerce platform, budget, and automation complexity needs.

How do I avoid annoying customers with too many emails?

Implement frequency caps (maximum emails per person per week), smart sending (suppress automated emails if a campaign was sent recently), preference centres (let customers choose frequency), and sunset policies (reduce frequency for consistently unengaged contacts). Monitor unsubscribe rates as an indicator of over-sending.

E-commerce Email Remarketing

Also known as:e-commerce email automationautomated email flowsbehaviour-triggered emails

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

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
