Whether you’re welcoming new subscribers, re-engaging quiet ones, or thanking a customer post-purchase—it’s the easiest way to stay connected in a personalized, timely manner. We’ve got six of our favorite automated emails here for you and we’re going to dive into what exactly makes them so successful. 1. Abandoned Cart Emails An abandoned cart email is triggered when a customer adds items to their shopping cart but doesn’t complete the purchase. These emails serve as a gentle nudge, reminding customers of the products they left behind and encouraging them to complete their purchase. Because of that, they are highly effective at recovering potential lost sales. Here are a few ways you could play them out: - The Personalized Approach: Subject: “Don’t forget about your cart, [Name]!” Body: “Hi [Name], it looks like you left these items in your cart. Have no fear, we saved them for you. Click through to complete your purchase!” - The Urgent Approach: Subject: “Your cart is almost empty!” Body: “Hey [Name], you’re running out of time to take advantage of 10% off! Complete your purchase before it’s gone for good.” - The Product Rec Approach: Subject: These would look good on you, [Name] Body: “[Name], you have great taste. We noticed a few items left in your cart and thought these would pair well together. Check out now and score 10% off!” Standard parameters for your abandoned cart emails should fall within 3-4 hours after a shopper leaves items in their cart without completing the purchase. 2. Recommendation Emails Recommendation emails are sent after a customer interacts with your website or makes a purchase. These emails suggest products that complement their previous purchases, increasing the chances of repeat sales and upselling. Example: - Subject: “All new just for you, [Name]” Body: “Since you purchased [Product], we thought you’d love these items as well. Enjoy 10% off when you complete your order today.” You can use recommendation emails when: - A customer makes a purchase or visits a specific product page. - You want to re-engage customers with tailored product suggestions. 3. Back-in-Stock Emails Back-in-stock emails notify customers when a previously unavailable product is back. This automated email builds excitement and encourages quick action from customers who were interested in the product when it sold out. Example: - Subject: “Your favorite item is back in stock!” Body: “[Name], the [Product] you wanted is available again! Don’t miss out—grab it before it’s gone!” This is another great place for recommendations. Include best sellers or products that compliment the back in stock product. 4. Welcome Emails Welcome emails are triggered when someone joins your email list or creates an account on your site. They help make a great first impression and set the tone for your ongoing relationship with the customer. Examples: - The Simple Approach: Subject: “Welcome to [Brand]!” Body: “Hi [Name], we’re thrilled to have you with us! Explore our best-selling products and let us know if you have any questions.” - The Thank You Approach Subject: “You’ve joined the [Brand] family” Body: “Thank you for your purchase, [Name]! We’re stoked to have you join our community. [Insert Brand Mission]. [Add push for loyalty or social media following].” Use welcome emails when: - A new subscriber joins your email list - New subscriber makes a first purchase 5. Feedback Emails Feedback emails are automatically sent after a purchase or customer service interaction, helping you gather valuable insights. These emails show customers that their opinions matter and help improve your products or services. Example: - The Simple Ask Approach Subject: “We value your feedback!” Body: “Hi [Name], we hope you’re loving your [Product]. We’d love to hear your thoughts – take a moment to share your feedback and help us improve!” - The Ethical Bribe Approach Subject: “Penny for your thoughts, [Name]?” Body: “20% off with your name on it! Tell us if you’ve been loving [product name] and receive 20% your next purchase.” Feedback emails should be sent anywhere from 14-30 days after purchase—depending on the product. Ensure your shoppers have enough time to touch, use and form a well rounded opinion of your product. ie: Skincare will have a longer timeline than apparel or tech. 6. Birthday/Anniversary Emails Birthday emails add a personal touch and are the baseline to show customers you care. They often include special offers or discounts to make the recipient feel appreciated on their special day. Example: - Subject: “Your birthday, our treat!” Body: “Birthday-ing is hard. You deserve a little treat—So take 25% off your next purchase.” Put a spin on these emails for subscriber anniversaries to celebrate the milestones of your relationship together. 🔥 DTC Win of The Week Dr. Squatch just launched their [Squatch-o-ween]( collection (seriously, are they everywhere or what?!), and it’s pumpkin vibes all day, every day.
