The first 60 minutes matter
Cart abandoners are still warm. Send the first reminder within 30–60 minutes without a discount: product image, stock context and a one-click return link.
Use the second message for trust (shipping, returns, warranty). Save discounts for the last step so shoppers do not wait for a coupon every time.
Pick the channel by behaviour
Try SMS/WhatsApp (with consent) for users who ignore email. Use dynamic product remarketing on Meta and Google to show the cart visually.
Do not message the same person on four channels at once. Cap frequency or brand trust drops.
Measure recovery revenue separately
Isolate cart-recovery ROAS from general retargeting. Know which message drove the order and scale the winner.
Tecrube watches cart events, triggers consented sequences in order and reports recovered revenue on its own.
