Recover Abandoned Carts with Smart Reminders
Send automatic reminders to shoppers who leave items in their cart
Klaviyo automation that sends a series of abandoned cart emails (product reminder, social proof, discount incentive) to recover lost sales, with timing optimized by customer timezone.
Most carts never reach checkout, and without a follow-up nothing happens to them. This automation connects your ecommerce platform to Klaviyo and triggers when someone adds items to cart but doesn't checkout. Nora sends a sequence: Email 1 (2 hours after abandonment): 'You left these items behind' with product images, prices, and direct link back to cart. Email 2 (24 hours later): Social proof — 'Others bought this product' with ratings/reviews. Email 3 (48 hours later): Incentive offer — '10% off if you complete your order today'. Each email is sent in the customer's local timezone for best open rates. The flow includes smart logic: if the cart value is under $25, skip the discount email (margin too thin). If customer has spent $5,000+ lifetime value, offer 15% instead of 10%. Klaviyo reports revenue attributed to the flow, so you can see what the sequence recovered against what the discounts cost. The sequence is set up once and runs on carts you have already paid to acquire.
Runs triggered on cart abandonment (real-time) using Klaviyo, run by your Ecommerce Manager.
