Re-Engagement Campaigns

Many on-line retailers have a portion of their consumer base that has gone dormant. Iterable makes it simple for patrons to section their consumer base into audiences primarily based on profile and occasion information, then determine segments with alternatives to restart the dialog and routinely re-engage with them in a significant means.

  • If they’re, we set off them into one other workflow to Active Subscription Hardware Upsell (on this instance, an upsell to drive a {hardware} buy)
    ◦ If they aren’t, then they proceed on our workflow and obtain an deserted cart email with our Send Time Optimization inside 24 hours
• After that email sends, we add them to a one-day delay 
• Once the delay’s over, we filter once more to see in the event that they made a purchase order.
  • If they did, then they exit the stream as we’ve efficiently pushed a purchase order!
  • If they didn’t, then we carry out an A/B check, sending half the purchasers an SMS and the opposite half a second email.
