Conversations
If your customers do have burning questions to get over the purchasing line, be sure to help them in your ‘Conversation’ tab in Emotive, or your perspective Helpdesk integration!- Continue to ask the customer questions to keep them engaged - don’t leave any of your messages open ended
- Keep your messaging short but informative (remember, these are being sent as texts!)
- Be sure to include a link back to your website in every message you send
- Always end your message with a call to action
Post-Purchase
To create a message, click “New Playbook” in the upper right corner. Building a relationship within the first 30 days of the order is key for increasing retention and building long-term loyalty. Here is our recipe for success:Day 5-10: Proactive Follow Up
Proactive Follow up begins the relationship by following up with every customer post-purchase. Artificial Intelligence will detect whether customers are happy or unhappy. **Tips: **- Ask a targeted question: Invoke a positive or negative response in order for the Artificial Intelligence to identify satisfaction
- **Personalize the name: **Use the name variable (blue button) to personalize the first name for each customer
- **Message as a human, not a company: **People want to talk to people. Addressing the messaging from a specific _person _and not your company name yields higher engagement
- Customers who respond positively to the initial message will receive the automated response above
- Give a discount on the next order to happy customers to prompt a repeat sale
- Include a link to the website to track click through
- Make it feel human- automated responses can decrease the engagement with that customer
- See the conversations tab overview to learn to respond to unhappy customers
Day 12-17: Discount Reminder
Tips- Most customers who end up clicking the link in “if happy” might be busy or not have an urgency to purchase- send the discount reminder to add time sensitivity that the discount is expiring to increase conversion
- When the message sounds personal, customers will appreciate the friendly reminder and respond “thank you”
Day 30-45: Cross Sell or Reorder
Reorder: Perfect for cosmetics + food and beverage brands- Trigger a reorder when customers might be running low from their initial order (the timing depends on the purchase cycle of your product)
>45 Days
Tips- Leave at least a 2 week gap between messages after the first month (too many messages can lead to increased unsubscribe rates)
