Why Reengagement Is Critical for Ecommerce Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s tempting to think disengaged customers can be replaced, but acquiring new ones is more expensive than it may seem. In 2013, merchants lost $9<\/a> for every new customer they gained. In 2022, that cost surged to $29, a 222% increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention, Qualtrics<\/a> finds that organizations risk 6.7% of their revenue \u2014 or $3.1 trillion globally \u2014 when they lose customers due to poor experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This shows why it\u2019s worth reengaging customers who\u2019ve already shopped with you instead of pouring more money into finding new ones. It\u2019s easier on your budget, takes less time, and honestly, saves your sales and marketing teams a major headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customer retention also directly impacts two key metrics that define long-term business health: revenue growth and customer lifetime value<\/a> (LTV). Long-term revenue reflects your brand\u2019s profitability over time, while LTV measures the total value a customer brings throughout their relationship with you. And here\u2019s the best part: By prioritizing retention, you\u2019re cultivating loyal relationships with customers who\u2019ll keep coming back (and might even bring their friends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before reengaging inactive customers, you must first identify who qualifies as \u201cinactive.\u201d Not every return or unopened email signals disengagement. To pinpoint inactive customers, use the following checklist as a starting point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve identified inactive customers, segmentation helps you target them with personalized messages, leaving out your engaged audience. Analyzing customer behavior reveals why they lost interest \u2014 whether it’s too many returns, irrelevant marketing, or something else \u2014 so you can create tailored strategies to win them back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach simplifies the process<\/a> with smart data analysis, giving you a clear view of inactive customers and helping you create targeted segments for reengagement. No more drowning in spreadsheets \u2014 our tools make reconnecting with customers effortless and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve identified your inactive customers and understand how data and segmentation help organize these contacts, it\u2019s time to focus on re-engaging them. These five strategies are a great place to start: <\/p>\n\n\n\n AI technology<\/a> has revolutionized how we understand and interact with customers, making it easier than ever to reengage those who\u2019ve gone quiet. AI analyzes past customer behavior to figure out how to bring them back. For example, it might send a discount email to someone who browsed but didn\u2019t buy, or reach out on social media with a message tailored just for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach takes this to the next level with real-time, data-driven campaigns tailored to each customer. From personalized email and SMS to social media and in-app messaging, Bloomreach ensures your outreach stays consistent, relevant, and impactful across every channel, helping you build stronger, longer-lasting relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email marketing may be old-school, but it\u2019s still one of the most effective ways<\/a> to connect with customers. In fact, email marketing generates an average ROI of $36 for every $1 spent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of sending a generic message asking customers to come back, try these tactics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach elevates your email marketing by focusing on the little things that make a big difference. Whether it\u2019s perfecting your subject lines or timing your sends just right, Bloomreach ensures your reengagement emails land at the perfect moment, turning ordinary opens into sales that\u2019ll have your team grinning from ear to ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know the average American checks their phone 205 times a day<\/a>? SMS messages and push notifications are hard to ignore because their immediacy taps into our natural curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SMS and push notifications are the perfect medium for creating a sense of urgency, especially with time-sensitive offers. An SMS or push notification like, \u201cFlash sale: 20% off all skincare products, today only!\u201d reminds customers of your brand while encouraging an impulsive purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Bloomreach, delivering these urgent messages is a breeze. Whether your customers are scrolling through social media, texting, or browsing your app, Bloomreach makes sure your message lands at just the right time and place. Plus, with audience targeting, your campaigns hit the mark without feeling pushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customer loyalty is like the holy grail of ecommerce. While a well-placed Instagram ad might get someone to click \u201cBuy Now,\u201d keeping that same customer engaged with your brand (and excited enough to tell their friends) is a different ballgame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reengaging inactive shoppers can be as simple as offering loyalty rewards, where customers earn points for discounts or perks. For example, a skincare brand might send an email offering triple points with a message like, \u201cYou\u2019re only 200 points away from a free moisturizer!\u201d This personalized incentive encourages a return visit while making customers feel valued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach makes loyalty programs more personal by using data to customize rewards for each customer. If your shopper loves eco-friendly products, Bloomreach might send them discounts on sustainable items. This approach makes the rewards feel more relevant, helping to bring customers back for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ever noticed an ad for something you recently viewed online? That\u2019s retargeting, or ads that remind customers about your brand after they\u2019ve left your site. Whether on Google, LinkedIn, or shopping apps, these personalized ads create a relevant nudge, encouraging shoppers to return and complete their purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dynamic retargeting makes personalization even better. Imagine a customer adds shoes to their cart but doesn’t check out. A timely ad showing the exact shoes with a message like \u201cStill thinking about these? They\u2019re waiting for you!\u201d can bring them back, especially with a limited-time discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where your ads appear matters, and Bloomreach removes the guesswork by using data to place ads where your customers are most likely to engage. Our platform aligns your retargeting strategy with broader marketing goals, syncing campaigns, creative, messaging, and placements to bring customers back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To see how your reengagement campaigns are doing, keep an eye on key metrics that show how customers are responding and how it\u2019s affecting your bottom line. Here are a few important ones to watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach simplifies tracking and improving your campaigns with its analytics platform, pulling data from all your channels for real-time performance insights. If an email campaign isn’t performing, it suggests tweaks like new subject lines or timing adjustments. It also identifies customer trends to refine segmentation and special offers, helping you optimize for better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloomreach is packed with features that help ecommerce brands win back customers who\u2019ve lost interest.
