Background Story

Basket abandonment is a challenge facing every online retailer today, with the majority of customers entering the buying process and putting products in the basket without completing their purchase.

Sony wanted to communicate with these hottest of prospects, whilst ensuring it was fully compliant with legal guidelines and best practice advice.

Legal Diligence

Sony follow the EC Privacy and Electronic Communications laws and in particular the 'soft-opt-in' principle set out in section 22 which in practice means the consumer must leave their email address during the checkout process, the basket abandonment email must be specific to the product or service the consumer was interested in at the time their email was left and must include a simple 'one click' unsubscribe.

SaleCycle worked through an in depth legal consultation with SONY EU so that their Data Compliance and Personal Information Management (PIMS) teams were happy to rollout the service across all EU regions.

The Solution

The programme has achieved fantastic results across all regions, with average open rates in excess of 55% and click-through rates of 22% testament to the importance of good timing and clean email design.

Great customer service and targeted email engagement have their place whatever the region – just like Sony’s products!

Background Story

Booking abandonment online is a challenge facing every hotel operator today. For Millennium it is no different, with abandonment rates across its regions contributing a significant amount of lost revenue.

Millennium wanted to do something to communicate with these customers who don’t book first time round – effectively it’s hottest prospects.

Global Roll-Out

Millennium began by trialing the programme on the .com site, testing a variety of subjects and sending times to find the right balance for it’s customers.

Following fantastic results, both in bottom line revenue and improved customer service, the campaign was then rolled out across the entirety of Millennium’s global reach – with email templates created in both English and Chinese.

The Solution

The programme has profited thanks to strong partner-ships and collaboration, with SaleCycle working closely with the Synxis booking engine to capture data in real-time, and the wider Millennium team to ensure all messaging is on brand and hitting the right notes for the culture of the region it serves.

The result is a slick, global solution – which is very much the Millennium way.

with SaleCycle and sending timely, well designed emails,

we've increased our annual sales online by over 4% with an

average order value 30% higher than our direct website sales.

A great partnership.”

Bilal AdhamOnline Acquisition Manager

Monsoon Accessorize

Background Story

Monsoon Accessorize’s abandonment rate of 68% is a significant improvement on the industry averages that level up at around 74% - however it still equates to a huge amount of lost revenue every day - and no one likes that!

It’s innovative website, allows customers to purchase products from either of its brands, providing a great shopping experience – but also significant brand challenges when it comes to email retargeting.

Dual Branded Email

To ensure a really great return on basket abandonment emails (and that’s SaleCycle’s mantra!) it’s vital that the look and tone of the email is just right and that it positively reflects the customer’s shopping experience so far.

But what about when there's multiple brand possibilities?

The Solution

Using dynamic email templates, and a clever bit of segmentation wizardry, customers who abandon a dazzling dress from Monsoon, for example, will receive a Monsoon branded email which reinforces all the brand stands for. A beautiful bracelet from Accessorize? The opposite applies.

However, if both products are abandoned then a dual-branded email is sent with an animated GIF header promoting both brands.

The loop is finished with a slick integration with Monsoon’s email service provider, ensuring emails hit the inbox and customers return to purchase their weekend wares!

Background Story

Shopping cart abandonment is one of the biggest challenges facing all global retailers, with average abandonment rates of 74%.

Identifying this problem, and SaleCycle as a solution, OFFICE Shoes introduced cart recovery technology on their ecommerce site, with the target of re-engaging with customers who fell at the final stage of the buying process.

Split Testing

OFFICE Shoes recognised the importance of constant testing and monitoring to optimize the success of the email campaign and utilised the split-testing module within the SaleCycle platform to test different sending times (varying times from 2 hours after abandonment down to 30 minutes) and a variety of different subject lines.

The Solution

SaleCycle continues to work closely with OFFICE Shoes to optimise their abandoned shopping basket email campaign. Testing, analysis and re-testing is an ongoing process with changes to the creative each season accompanied with new tests.

OFFICE Shoes has also introduced a 2nd Cycle email campaign sent 24 hours after abandonment to consumers who have yet to return to the site to purchase. This 2nd email campaign also includes dynamic product recommendations.

Background Story

Basket abandonment online is one of the biggest challenges facing every online retailer today, and for FCP Groton and the purchase of car spares it’s no different with an average abandonment rate of 81%.

Identifying this challenge, FCP worked with SaleCycle to develop a basket abandonment email campaign to communicate with these customers across its international sites fcpimport.com & fcpeuro.com.

Personalized Creative

FCP’s basket abandonment emails achieve a fantastic open rate, with almost half of the recipients seeing the creative.

This creative is made even more successful using dynamic personalization which displays a banner based on the car parts the customer has shopped for – for example, if a customer has shopped for Audi parts they see an Audi banner – improving the customer experience and increasing the number of clicks back to the FCP website.

The Solution

Working alongside FCP’s Spree Commerce platform, the SaleCycle cart recovery campaign has achieved astonishing results across all key metrics – increasing online sales by over 4% and achieving an average order value significantly higher than direct website sales.

Background Story

Booking abandonment online is a challenge that every hotel faces today. No matter what you do to optimize your site and the booking process, some customers will always get away.

With an abandonment rate of just 16%, Apex Hotels is much improved on the average – but it still wanted to do something about those customers who don’t book first time round.

The Personal Touch

Apex Hotels wanted its booking recovery email to represent the experience of being in its hotel: Attractive, personal and friendly.

The creative follows this mantra to the rule, using first name personalization to greet the customer and offering the customer the incentive of a £10 voucher to enjoy themselves in the bar or restaurant. Now that is friendly.

The Solution

Using SaleCycle’s segmentation engine, the Apex Hotels email is personalized so that a different creative is shown relevant to the hotel the customer has abandoned – a thoughtful message direct from the General Manager helps to generate click rates of around 30% and a conversion from click of over 37%.

Now that’s what we call customer service!

Cath Kidston

Background Story

Everyone abandons their shopping cart occasionally. Even you and I. It’s one of the biggest challenges facing all online retailers with an average abandonment rate of 72%.

With a well optimized and intuitive website from AspDotNetStorefront, Cath Kidston’s abandonment rate is below the average at 67%, but it still represents a significant amount of lost revenue – and no one likes that.

Customer Service Tone

Maintaining a positive customer experience was a key consideration for Cath Kidston when embarking on their basket abandonment email.

By sending the email, through email service provider eCircle, two hours after a cart has been abandoned, customers are engaged at a key part of the buying life cycle, whilst the subject line ‘A little reminder from Cath Kidston’ gives the email an engaging but soft tone that customers respond to.

The SaleCycle Solution

Cath Kidston’s campaign has been a huge success, becoming its most effective email with over half of recipients opening the email and a click through rate of 14%.

Abandoners also tend to spend significantly more, with the average order value of purchases direct from abandoned cart emails 65% higher than Cath Kidston’s direct sales.
