If they have already made a purchase with you, then this should be a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>But, what if they happen to be browsing your site and suddenly decide to leave without making a purchase?<\/p>\n<p><i>This\u00a0now becomes a problem.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Fear not, because there are many solutions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11749\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4.png\" alt=\"Best Buy email marketing automation\" width=\"964\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image4.png 964w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image4-470x130.png 470w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image4-768x213.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can give them a special offer via an internal ad on your website; this could be in the form of a discount or initial buyer offer. You could utilize some\u00a0sort of\u00a0lead magnet tactic where you give something away.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an eCommerce store that deals with specialty services or products, you can even have gated content that can only\u00a0be accessed\u00a0by giving away an email address. There are free plugins which help you do this, and you can integrate these with the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecommerce-platforms.com\/articles\/top-6-ecommerce-platform-reviews-2012-shopify-volusion-bigcommerce-magento-bigcartel-3dcart\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">eCommerce platform<\/a> your store is running on.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Segmentation and Varied Campaigns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If there is one lesson that we have learned from account-based marketing (ABM), it\u2019s the fact that customized emails work.<\/p>\n<p>Your current list or the list you are building also has to be segmented by demographics, buying power, buying propensity, geographical local and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0will help with the other automated emails that we will be talking about in the latter part of this article.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that people like personalization and custom campaigns. In fact, more than 70 percent of people prefer personalized ads that have been tailor-made for them.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Email List Hygiene<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Practice good <a href=\"https:\/\/kb.benchmarkemail.com\/what-is-a-clean-list-and-how-do-i-clean-my-list\">email hygiene<\/a>; there are tools available that can help you with this. Check if the emails that you have are still working and are not just bouncing.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0affects the integrity and the reputation of your email address. If it\u2019s terrible, it hurts deliverability.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that email addresses are primed. Ensure that the email address of your eCommerce store is primed too and ready to send emails.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Double Opt-Ins<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>This\u00a0is one way of ensuring that the email address that they gave you is valid. It will require the recipient of your email to confirm their email addresses. This way, you don\u2019t send emails to fake addresses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11750\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image6.png\" alt=\"Linkody email marketing automation\" width=\"883\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image6.png 883w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image6-470x148.png 470w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image6-768x242.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Forget About the Quality of Your Content<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This\u00a0is one thing that a lot of people frequently forget\u00a0about. Make sure you have at least 500 characters in your email, so you do not get flagged for spam. However, you also need to make sure that your content is not too \u201cwordy\u201d for your ready or you will lose their attention.<\/p>\n<p>The trick is to utilize the other characters in your copyright notice or your fine print.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you have enough pictures and graphics to keep the user on your page and make the email read worth their while.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Types of Automated Emails Your E-commerce Store Needs to Send<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Automated emails allow you to properly engage with your customers and increase conversion and CTR sans the hassle.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of automation is it creates a sales system that is automatic and is all-inclusive to make sure that every potential lead\u00a0is maximized.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where the real fun begins. I recommend you use an application to automate the different campaigns that you will be engaging\u00a0in. <a href=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\">Benchmark<\/a> is a great application that automates different marketing tasks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11751\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image5.png\" alt=\"email marketing automation\" width=\"825\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image5.png 825w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image5-461x300.png 461w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image5-768x500.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With software like this, it becomes more comfortable for you to start crafting systems on how to treat different kinds of user behavior towards specific email actions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, we see what happens when a user views or ignores an offer message that\u00a0was previously sent\u00a0to their inbox. After a particular amount of time, you can automatically send an email depending on the user\u2019s behavior, i.e., if they opened it or not.<\/p>\n<p>You\u00a0just\u00a0have to set the system up, and you\u2019re pretty much good to go. Systems like this make customer interaction and engagement an easier puzzle to solve.<\/p>\n<p>And, those are not the only good things you can do with automation.<\/p>\n<p><i>Here\u2019s the good news.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You can customize how much time passes before each action of the automated \u201cemail flowchart,\u201d and you can even add a variable number of user actions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11752\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image8.png\" alt=\"automation\" width=\"1127\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image8.png 1127w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image8-470x256.png 470w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image8-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image8-970x529.png 970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1127px) 100vw, 1127px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a way for you to fully automate the messages that you send out to your customers based on their interactions.<\/p>\n<p>What you see is just a simple example of what you can do to automate your email response systems. This can vary per product or service that you have, and in some cases, you can even create flowcharts under your flowcharts.<\/p>\n<p>These flowcharts can then\u00a0be further broken\u00a0into the different market segments that you might have in your email list. In turn, it makes everything you do for your customers \u2013 even the automated emails that they receive\u00a0\u2013 fully personalized.<\/p>\n<p>Personalization is the new game in digital marketing, and that is why this is so important.<\/p>\n<p>To further emphasize on this, I would even advise that every email that\u00a0is received\u00a0from the end of your e-commerce store, is automatically replied to, with an\u00a0acknowledgment\u00a0that\u2019s apt to the matter\u00a0being discussed.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Abandoned Carts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Just because a customer has left a cart doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p><i>Here\u2019s how you can help them find their way back to you.<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Send an automated email an hour after they have abandoned their cart.<\/li>\n<li>If there has been no response, send an email 24 hours later.<\/li>\n<li>You can even include an offer in this email \u2013 only in particular cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11753\" src=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image7.png\" alt=\"automation workflow\" width=\"1334\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image7.png 1334w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image7-470x219.png 470w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image7-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/image7-970x452.png 970w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1334px) 100vw, 1334px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Upsells<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s an excellent way for you to get additional revenue after a sale has\u00a0been made.
