Distraction drop
Life interrupts before payment completes - and no follow-up pulls them back.

Abandoned cart recovery that brings shoppers back to buy
Timed email and SMS sequences that remind, reassure, and - when it earns it - incentivize without training customers to abandon on purpose.
Why carts die
Four leaks that leave revenue sitting in the cart
Most abandoners are unfinished - not gone. Recovery closes the gap before intent cools.
Cost surprise
Shipping or taxes appear too late, and the shopper exits without a second chance.
Trust pause
They need one more reassurance - returns, reviews, or payment clarity.
Tab-away compare
They leave to compare and never return unless a sequence reminds them.
Recovery funnel
Abandon → open → click → recover
We design the lifecycle so each step has a job: earn the open, earn the return click, then finish the order - and we measure conversion at every handoff.
- Stage rates for open, click, and recovered order
- Suppression when the cart already converts
- Timing tuned to how fast intent fades
Channel mix
Email and SMS that share one recovery story

Dynamic cart, shipping cues, and a clear return path.

- Generic blasts - or no messages at all
- Discounts sprayed early (or never used well)
- Opens tracked; recovered orders unknown
Recovered revenue
- T+1h / T+24h / T+48h sequence live

- Remind → reassure → offer ladder
- Recovery rate and revenue on the report

FAQ
Abandoned cart recovery questions
What is abandoned cart recovery?
Abandoned cart recovery is a timed follow-up system - usually email and SMS - that reminds shoppers about items left in cart and helps them complete the purchase.
Should every recovery message include a discount?
No. Early messages often work with reminder, social proof, and shipping clarity. Discounts are reserved for later steps or high-intent segments so you do not train shoppers to wait for a deal.
Do you need SMS for cart recovery?
Not always. Email alone can recover a meaningful share. SMS helps when you have consent, strong mobile traffic, and a short, high-intent message path.
How do you measure success?
We track recovered revenue, recovery rate, message engagement, and unsubscribe or complaint rates so lift does not come at the cost of list health.
