Finally, don’t forget to add your values or call-to-action to your email. Ask yourself: What action do you want your customers to take? Click? Purchase? Subscribe?

New Year is a prime time for returns since people get holiday gifts they don’t want or bought something to celebrate the New Year but didn’t get to use it. When they visit your online or physical store for a return, they give you chances to get them to buy something else. For online store, list some impulse purchase as “You Might Also Like” or “Customer Also Bought”. If you have a physical store, placing impulse purchases by your return counter.
Remember: Customers for return are free “organic traffic” to your store.
4. Rescue abandoned carts with automated emails
Sometimes people will forget to check out the products they add-to-cart or they may find something else. These are your valuable customers because they’ve already known your products and brands.
So don’t hesitate to re-targeting them through segmented email reminders that send whenever a cart remains abandoned automatically. Your emails will remind these customers that even if they didn’t purchase items the first time round, there’s still time to buy before the end of the promotion.
Tips: Adding a shopping cart icon on email that caught your customer’s eye.
