• If emails don’t work on certain apps/devices, you’ll see lower
engagement and conversions.
• Make sure your emails are designed and coded to be responsive so
they will render well on all devices/apps.
• Test your emails in a tool like Litmus to make sure they work and look
great.
So if you’re sending lots of emails,
please optimize for all apps & devices!

37. #DataDrivenEmail
In regards to length… 3 emails will recover a good
portion of all recoverable sales.
And timing? The first email works best when sent
within an hour of the person abandoning their cart.
38. #DataDrivenEmail
• Email One – 30 minutes post abandon
• Email Two – 1 day post abandon *
• Email Three - 3 days post abandon *
How to time the send of 3 emails?
39. #DataDrivenEmail
Great offers in email 2 and/or 3 will boost your
conversion rate and help you make more sales.
Here are some examples…
44. #DataDrivenEmail
2. Place the email field at the top of the checkout process so it’s the
first field a customer fills out. (Your ESP needs to have “pre-submit
tracking” to capture email addresses before someone clicks
‘submit’)
