Having a well-optimized and automated marketing platform is a critical element of every e-commerce site. There are 6 essential actions that any e-commerce marketing strategy must deploy with respect to messaging:
- Grow Your List – Adding a welcome discount, spin-to-wins, fly-outs, and exit-intent campaigns to grow your lists and provide a compelling offer are critical to growing your contacts.
- Campaigns – Sending welcome emails, ongoing newsletters, seasonal offers, and broadcast texts to promote offers and new products is essential.
- Conversions – Preventing a visitor from leaving with a product in the cart by offering a discount is a great way to increase conversion rates.
- Cart Abandonment – Reminding visitors that they had products in the cart is a must and, perhaps, has the greatest performance of any marketing automation tactic.
- Cross-Sell Campaigns – Recommending similar products is a great way to increase your visitor’s cart value and drive additional sales.
- Top Bar Offers – Having a top navigation bar on your site that promotes the latest sale, offer, or product recommendation drives engagement and conversions.
- Customer Winback – Once a customer buys from you, they now have an expectation that’s set, and getting them to purchase again is easier. A time-delayed reminder or offer will drive conversions.
- Purchase Follow-Up – Reviews are critical for every e-commerce site, so having a follow-up email that requests a review, suggests products, or just says thanks is a great way to keep your customers engaged.
- Templates – Proven templates that are known to drive opens, click-throughs, and conversions are a must so that marketers don’t have to research or develop their own.
