Abandoned Cart Emails That Recover Lost Sales

Cart abandonment is common. A simple email sequence can recover 10-15%.

The Sequence

• 1 hour: "You left something behind" — Gentle reminder, link back
• 24 hours: Add value — Tip or resource related to the product
• 72 hours: Urgency — Limited-time offer or "last chance" reminder

What to Include

• Product image and key benefits
• Clear CTA button
• Address objections (guarantee, support)
• Social proof if available

Subject Lines

• "Forgot something?"
• "Your cart is waiting"
• "Quick question about [product]"

Implementation

You'll need email automation. Some platforms have built-in abandoned cart. Otherwise, integrate with your email tool.
