Open rate: 68% | Click rate: 24%

"Hi [Name], we noticed you were interested in [Product]. It's still waiting for you in your cart. Complete your order now and we'll ship it today."

No discount — just a friendly reminder with the cart items displayed.

2Social Proof (3 hours after abandonment)

Subject: 2,847 people bought [Product] this month

Open rate: 54% | Click rate: 19%

"Hi [Name], [Product] is flying off the shelves. 2,847 customers bought it this month. Here's what Sarah said: '[Testimonial]' Your cart is still waiting."

3Small Incentive (24 hours after abandonment)

Open rate: 61% | Click rate: 31% | Recovery: 12%

"Hi [Name], we really want you to try [Product]. Here's free shipping on your entire order — no minimum. Use code FREESHIP at checkout. Valid for 24 hours only."

This email alone recovers 12% of abandoned carts. Free shipping is our #1 converter.

Open rate: 72% | Click rate: 38% | Recovery: 18%

"Hi [Name], your cart is about to expire. The items you selected will be released to other customers in 12 hours. Complete your order NOW to secure your items. Plus: 10% off with code LASTCHANCE."

This is our highest-converting email. Countdown timer + scarcity = 18% recovery rate.

5Final Attempt + Win-Back (7 days after abandonment)

Subject: We saved your items + 15% off (last chance)

Open rate: 45% | Click rate: 15% | Recovery: 7%

"Hi [Name], this is our final email. We held your [Product] for 7 days but we're releasing it soon. Complete your order with 15% off (code FINAL15) — valid for 48 hours. After that, this offer disappears."

This email also serves as a 'break-up' email. If they don't convert, move them to a nurture sequence.
