AI Cart Abandonment Recovery (30% Recovery Boost)

The client was losing a significant portion of potential revenue due to cart abandonment. Recovery efforts relied on generic email campaigns with low engagement rates, while the marketing team spent hours manually managing follow-ups. As a result, most abandoned carts never converted into completed purchases.

The Problem

Approximately 73% of shoppers abandoned their carts before checkout. Existing recovery emails were generic, poorly timed, and achieved only an 8% recovery rate. The manual recovery process was inefficient and difficult to scale as order volume increased.
