Transactional email for the e-commerce industry <\/span>Win Back Customers with Shopping Cart Abandonment Emails<\/h1>\r\n

Online stores are familiar with the scenario: customers add items to their shopping cart, but then don't complete the purchase. Around 70 percent<\/strong>1<\/sup> of online purchases are abandoned in this phase. When online stores address these customers specifically by email, they can often be persuaded to purchase what's in their cart after all. That\u2019s why a shopping cart abandonment email is a good way to bring customers back into the store.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"2_5\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Wie kommt ein Warenkorbabbruch zustande?\" module_class=\"ret_padding_120-0 cc-fax\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" background_enable_color=\"off\" use_background_color_gradient=\"on\" background_color_gradient_stops=\"#ffffff 0%|#f3f5f7 100%\" background_color_gradient_start=\"#ffffff\" background_color_gradient_end=\"#f3f5f7\" bottom_divider_color=\"#FFFFFF\" bottom_divider_height=\"80px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row column_structure=\"3_5,2_5\" column_padding_mobile=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" max_width=\"100%\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"3_5\" module_class=\"gdpr\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Intro Headline\" module_id=\"intro\" module_class=\"bigger\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" custom_margin=\"||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]

Shopping cart abandonment is when visitors leave the online store without making a purchase. They have already browsed, selected products as favorites, and added them to their shopping cart. But in this case, visitors do not complete the purchase and leave the filled shopping cart behind. For online retailers, shopping cart abandonment translates into lost sales, administrative costs, and hesitant or even annoyed customers who don't return, if they, for example, experienced technical problems when placing an order.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_enable_color=\"off\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Intro Text\" module_id=\"intro\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]

Shopping cart abandonment is a challenge that e-commerce companies face and something that their marketing efforts \u2013 aiming to keep the customer's attention \u2013 ultimately miss the mark with. However, online stores can take measures to persuade customers to complete a purchase after they have abandoned a filled shopping cart. The better you understand the reasons for the customer's behavior, the more effectively you can address shopping cart abandonment by email.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" admin_label=\"Welche Gr\u00fcnde gibt es f\u00fcr den Warenkorbabbruch?\" module_class=\"cc-fax ret_padding_80-0\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" background_enable_color=\"off\" background_color_gradient_direction=\"60deg\" background_enable_image=\"off\" bottom_divider_color=\"#F3F5F7\" bottom_divider_height=\"80px\" bottom_divider_flip=\"horizontal\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row column_structure=\"3_5,2_5\" column_padding_mobile=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" max_width=\"100%\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"3_5\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Text\" module_class=\"bigger\" _builder_version=\"4.17.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"100%\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]
