Why Abandoned Cart Push Notifications Are Your Highest-ROI Recovery Channel

Introduction

Every day, numerous customers begin the checkout process, but never end up buying anything. Without realizing it, most businesses are allowing customers to walk away with thousands of dollars. If businesses knew how easy it was to recapture that lost revenue, there would be a lot less friction. Targeted abandoned cart push notifications are the most profitable, low-cost marketing strategy in the e-commerce space right now and are highly likely to be a game changer for your business. If you want to get the most out of this effort, this is where you’ll want to focus.

Why Abandoned Cart Push Notifications Pay Off?

Email push notifications do not get the same level of engagement as push notifications. Push notifications offer the ability to personalize notifications, which provides customization to each buyer. Finally, push notifications are not buried in inboxes as emails are, and offer other mechanisms to gain easy access and high visibility.

Getting ROI Data

The Baymard Institute found that “abandoned carts” account for almost 70% of online purchases, and for most retailers, this is a shocking loss of potential revenue. However, this is where push notifications shine. They have proven to increase sales. Some retailers have even reported losing under 10% of push notifications to cart abandonment over multiple campaigns.F

Shopify reported that a 10% increase in sales is possible from pushing previously lost sales notifications. Email notifications do not come close to this! They have an abysmally low open rate of under 20%. In comparison, a push notification will result in an over 90% open rate! They also have an under 5% click through rate. That is why push notifications have a much better response with the sales funnel! They have it all from million dollar sales notifications to personalized segmented funneled updates!

Why Push Notifications Work?

Standard SMS and Email barriers are being broken with Push Notifications. They have all of the best features of the competition, and even are more likely to result in sales than SMS or Email Notifications. The Push features more prominently than its competitors, with a more consumer friendly sales funnel. That is how consumer sales funnel better with the less intrusive technology of push notifications.

Automation and real-time customer behavior tracking make it possible to customize and send push notifications. That said, push notifications are the highest return on investment, and most of the time, they are great at recapturing customers.

Based on a study they conducted, McKinsey suggests that push notifications are, on average, 30% more likely to lead to conversions when they are targeted (sent to someone who shows signs they would buy the product) and personalized (say a customer’s name, show a photo of the product they seem to be interested in).

Building a High-ROI Abandoned Cart Recovery Strategy

Before any notifications are sent, a strategy needs to be put in place. The most important parts of the strategy include deciding the goal, the timing, and the whole process should be reviewed frequently.

Step 1: Identify When & Who to Target

Your analytics should be able to break down the users who left items in their carts based on how long they have left the app, how much total value was in the cart, how much they browsed, and their level of engagement in your app. The messaging and timing should be different depending on the number of high-value items in their cart. The goal should be to send notifications to users who are most likely to return to the app.

Step 2: Craft Compelling, Timely Messages

Time restrictions should be sent as soon as possible. When a high number of items are in the cart, the first notification should be sent between 1-2 hours of abandonment. Targeted and personalized messages should be sent, e.g., “Hey Alex, your sneakers are still in your cart, buy them now and enjoy a 10% discount” or “This is your last chance to buy’” or “The stock is about to run out.”

Step 3: Include Dynamic and Contextual Content

Showing specific examples of products and mentioning discounts and social proof can significantly increase engagement and response. An example of social proof is: “Others just bought this item—join 300 happy shoppers!”

Step 4: Improve and Adapt Continuously

Put into practice A/B testing for message timing, tone, and offers. Analytics, such as Twinr’s instantaneous dashboards, will help you develop your strategy. Your push campaign will become a revenue-generating “machine” if you continue to evolve your strategy.
