Did you know that companies that optimize marketing automation can increase their conversion rates by up to 30%? In the competitive world of eCommerce, where every interaction counts, it is crucial to maximize every customer touch point.

In this practical guide, Trilogi will explore how to achieve this with marketing automation tools. This time we will make use of Connectif, a plug-in tool that integrates seamlessly with LogiCommerce in a simple way and can transform your approach at every stage of the customer journey, from the first click to long-term loyalty. Remember that these recommendations can be extrapolated to other tools. Get ready to discover advanced strategies and practical examples that will help you capture your visitors' attention, convert them into loyal customers and keep them engaged for the long term.

Discovery

In the discovery phase, the main goal is to capture the attention of potential customers and attract them to your online store.

Example 1: 

Imagine that a visitor arrives on your website through a Meta Ads campaign. With Connectif, you can personalize this first interaction by detecting that it comes from social networks. Offer an exclusive 20% discount for new users coming from social networks, or even a welcome gift, such as a free guide related to your products. This type of offer not only attracts the visitor, but also incentivizes registration, creating a valuable first connection.

Example 2: 

For users who browse multiple product pages without taking any action, Connectif can implement a dynamic banner on the homepage. This banner can highlight most viewed products or personalized recommendations based on the user's browsing history. Dynamic banners based on browsing history have a 50% higher click-through rate than static banners, which can translate into a significant increase in conversions.

Additional recommendation: 

Consider using behavioral analytics tools like Google Analytics or Hotjar to identify common browsing patterns and adjust discovery strategies accordingly. This will allow you to better understand how users arrive at your site and what types of offers or messages are most effective.

Consideration

During the consideration phase, users compare products and evaluate their options. Here, it is essential to provide relevant information and maintain interest effectively.

Example 1: 

Connectif can identify users who have spent more than a minute on a specific product page and automatically send them an email with additional content, such as a demo video or a product-related case study. Send emails with dynamic content that is tailored to the user's specific interests. For example, if a user has shown interest in cameras, include a video comparing models.

Example 2: 

For users who repeatedly visit a product category, Connectif can automate recommendations for complementary products or cheaper alternatives. For example, if a user shows interest in cameras, you can recommend accessories such as tripods or additional lenses. Personalized recommendations can increase cross-selling by up to 20% and improve the customer experience.

Additional recommendation: 

Use surveys with Connectif or external tools to better understand users' needs and preferences during the consideration phase. This will allow you to adapt your strategies and offer even more relevant and personalized content.

Purchase

The purchase phase is critical, as it is the moment when the customer makes the final decision. It is vital that the process is as simple and frictionless as possible.

Example 1: 

If a customer abandons the cart during the checkout process, Connectif can send an abandoned cart email with an additional discount code and a message of urgency, such as “Your cart is about to expire, take advantage of your discount before it's too late!” Make sure the email has an attractive design and persuasive copy that highlights the urgency and value of the discount.

Example 2: 

During high-demand events, such as Black Friday, Connectif can trigger pop-up messages that inform you of limited product availability. For example, you could display a message that says “Only 5 units of this product left!” to create a sense of urgency that motivates the customer to finish the purchase quickly. Messages that create a sense of urgency can increase conversions by 30% during high-demand events.

Additional recommendation: 

Optimize the checkout process to make it as seamless as possible. Perform A/B testing to ensure payment options are the most effective and consider offering a guest checkout process to reduce friction.

Post-purchase

After the purchase, it is crucial to ensure customer satisfaction and encourage repeat purchases. A positive post-purchase experience can influence customer loyalty and future purchases.

Example 1: 

A few days after the customer receives your product, Connectif can send an automated email requesting a review. Offer a discount coupon for the next purchase as an incentive for the customer to leave a review. Consider offering a free sample of a complementary product along with the discount coupon to encourage customers to leave a review. This not only helps build a positive review base, but also incentivizes future purchases.

Example 2: 

For products that typically need replacement or refills, Connectif can schedule an automatic reminder just before the product runs out. For example, if a customer purchased a printer cartridge, you can send a reminder a few days before the cartridge runs out, offering a one-click repurchase option. Buyback reminders can increase recurring sales by 25% if sent at the right time.

Additional recommendation: 

Offer excellent post-purchase customer service. Be sure to offer multiple support channels, such as live chat and phone support, to resolve any issues quickly.

Loyalty

Loyalty seeks to turn customers into brand advocates, increasing repeat purchases and building a long-lasting relationship.

Example 1: 

Connectif allows you to create a rewards program where customers accumulate points with each purchase. These points can be redeemed for discounts or exclusive products. Promoting this program through personalized mailings showing customer progress and available rewards can incentivize loyalty and encourage repeat purchases. Loyalty programs have shown that the accumulation of points can increase purchase frequency and customer loyalty.

Example 2: 

For repeat customers, Connectif can send mailings with personalized recommendations based on past purchases. In addition, you can invite these customers to exclusive brand events, such as pre-sales or new product launches. These types of invitations strengthen the relationship with the brand and turn customers into loyal advocates. Recommendations based on past purchases can increase repurchase rates by 15%.

Additional recommendation:

Implement advanced segmentation strategies to further personalize the customer experience. Use behavioral and preference data to tailor offers and communications to each individual customer.

Conclusión

Optimizing the eCommerce customer journey is a comprehensive process that requires a well-defined strategy and effective tools. Connectif, with its focus on personalization and automation, offers solutions that maximize the value of each customer interaction.
