What is the play?
In this play you will combine your regular abandon cart flows with yours offers and discounts. You can also combine this play with the product page placement play as a way to gather more data from your customers.
Play 1
If a shopper:
i) Adds items to their basket
ii) Verifies for a discount
ii) Abandons checkout
Then: Email them with their abandoned cart contents and include their specific discount within that email.
Example:
Hey Elliott,
You left this in your basket. Don’t forget to use your exclusive student discount when you purchase, and you can save 20% on your order with us.
CTA: Claim my 20% discount and checkout.

Why run the play?
Abandon cart plays themselves are no-brainers, but enhancing them with personalised offers is key to increasing sales from those emails.
- Including a discount in an abandon cart email can increase the conversion rate by up to 72% compared to emails without discounts.
- Make it easy for customers to redeem the discount by providing them with it again - there’s a good chance they didn’t save it for later!
- It’s an effective way to re-engage shoppers who have not checked out and also haven’t completed verification for their discount.
