Cart Abandonment Emails That Recover Lost Sales
70% of shopping carts are abandoned. Automated cart recovery emails bring customers back and turn abandoned carts into completed purchases.
Every Abandoned Cart is Lost Revenue
Cart abandonment is the single biggest leak in your e-commerce funnel. Without automated recovery emails, you're leaving thousands of dollars on the table every month.
- 70%+ of online shopping carts are abandoned: $18 billion lost annually to cart abandonment.
- Only 3% of stores have proper cart recovery: Most e-commerce businesses leave money on the table.
- Well-designed sequences recover 10-15%: That's revenue you'd otherwise lose completely.

Track abandoned carts and send a sequence of reminder emails with Spreeflo to bring shoppers back.
Cart Detected
When a shopper adds items to cart and enters their email, we start tracking.

If they leave without completing purchase, the cart recovery sequence begins automatically.
Emails Sent
A series of reminder emails go out at optimal intervals — 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours.
Sale Recovered
Customer clicks through, returns to their cart, and completes the purchase. Revenue recovered.
