> Understanding cart abandonment

What we already know• Cart abandonment will always exist, to a degree

– Doesn’t mean it can’t be reduced!

• Visitor saw something they liked/wanted to purchase• Specific messaging will help build trust with visitors• Shoppers who want to buy will buy regardless• If the visitor leaves the cart, the sale isn’t over

> 10 Minute Strategy & Discussion

Ask yourself:• Would you buy from your site?• Do you welcome new visitors properly?• Do you understand # of visits per sale?• Does your website build trust with visitors?

> Tips to building trust

Messaging– minimize shopping fears with safe/secure messaging– offer shipping information based on geo-targeting– provide reviews on product info pages

Email follow ups– follow up for recurring product sales/lead nurturing– include reviews through forums, social media, etc...

Coupons– offer to shoppers leaving cart but not page– incentives and discounts work
