New Barilliance Study Determines Cart Abandonment Best Practices to Increase Conversions
Tel Aviv (PRWEB) September 22, 2016 -- A new study published by Barilliance indicates that sending out timed multistage retargeting emails significantly increases cart recovery and conversions among abandoned e-commerce site visitors, leading to an 18% conversion rate from shopping cart abandonment emails.
The findings reflect data from a recent (August 2016) study of 200 e-commerce websites from across the globe.
The study focused on finding and establishing the best sending frequency and cadence for cart abandonment retargeting emails. The company reports that the best converting email campaigns consist of three triggered emails sent out at intervals of within 1 hour, 24 hours and 72 hours after cart abandonment.
The conversion rate of website visitors retargeted with a 1st triggered email sent out within 1 hour of cart abandonment is 20.3% compared to a 12.2% conversion rate if the email is sent after 24 hours from abandonment.
The conversion rate of the 2nd triggered email sent out after 24 hours of cart abandonment is 17.7% compared to a 7.7% conversion rate if the email is sent after 48+ hours from abandonment. The conversion rate of the 3rd triggered email sent out after 72 hours of cart abandonment is 18.2%.
The study also examined best practices email marketers use to better increase email acquisition and found that by offering website visitors the ability to email themselves a copy of their filled shopping carts or a summary of their website visits, email marketers achieved 29% and 14% conversions rates, respectively.
