Before you get started
Some key details to note about the Win Back Lapsed Customers Automation:
The Win Back Lapsed Customers Automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin and contains the following steps:
The automation is triggered when it has been 60 days since a customer placed their last order and has not returned.
The first email in the Automation will prompt customers to return by recommending products from your store
If the first email does not result in a purchase, a second email is sent after a delay of 7 days with an incentive of 15% off coupon code
A third email will follow after 7 days letting the customer know their coupon will expire in 2 days
The automation will then finish and the customer will not receive any more emails. Please note that the automation will also stop if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.
