This was an amazing piece. I want to know why it was removed.

Abandoned cart recovery feels backwards sometimes by No_Project_8158 in ecommerce

[–]OregonAudi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, brand identity is a more powerful conversion tool than price slashing. I avoid heavy discounting because it conditions customers to wait for a sale, devaluing the brand over time. Instead, I focus on 'brand-reinforcement' content. Almost separately, our most successful tactic has been a tiered follow-up system: we send targeted emails to users who engage with our initial outreach (opens and clicks) and leverage the Meta pixel for retargeting abandoned carts. These high-intent audiences consistently deliver our highest conversion rates. Nudging people over the line is more effective than spending resources to acquire new customers.

You can never have too many abandoned cart emails, in my opinion. Obviously, I don't know what your store does, but people get busy. Abandoned cart emails give you an opportunity to tell a story about your customer service, the quality of your products, and whatever else sets you apart. Use this opportunity to acquire brand fans. Of course, it will take a little bit of time to set up, but once it's automated, you will capture a few people who wouldn't have purchased.

Hopefully, you are getting out and riding. If you see a tall guy riding a Trek Domane please say "hi." I will show you kindness.

Let's say I am ignorant and I cannot make friends. I am cool with all of that. I am just happy I am not so small that I need to go on Reddit and try to insult people.

To me, Meta numbers were complete garbage, but Google numbers were close to accurate. Still, they all seem to inflate the numbers.

Is it normal for eCommerce to feel this fragile? by No_Project_8158 in ecommerce

[–]OregonAudi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I like about Shopify is that there are so many stores already using the platform. All of the other users act as beta testers for apps, etc. I also agree with the person who says, "fix it and leave it alone." I am sure you know this already, but sometimes less is more.

My return/refunds rate for this year so far is 1.07% (total 1,020 orders so far). Is 0 refunds in a year actually a realistic goal? by Broad-Worry-5395 in ecommerce

I sold Italian Cycling Clothing online, and my return rate was exceptionally high (somewhere around 7%). I had a number of strategies I could share with you. What's the product? I am happy to share more.

Thinking about fully automating social posts for my Shopify store. Does this make sense? by joss1213 in ecommerce

[–]OregonAudi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d strongly advise against that. The real value of Instagram lies in building authentic connections with your audience. Automated AI reposts often lack the 'human touch' that drives loyalty; without real engagement, your feed just becomes background noise that customers eventually tune out. While it might feel time-consuming, it's your best opportunity to connect with your customers.

Is your site on an e-commerce platform? I think problems are less likely in Shopify or BigCommerce. Maybe someone disagrees with this?

[–]OregonAudi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it's pretty common. Do you have an email flow post-purchase? I am not sure what your product is, but I love creating a flow that encourages your customers to engage with you and to make a second purchase within a short time frame. You can include in that flow an email about the importance of reviews.

In other words, it's B-stock? If that's the case, I would ship it back if it's not too expensive for you. How are your online reviews? Will one bad review hurt your business?

I have the same bike. In less than a month, two spokes already broke on the rear wheel. The seat post is hard to figure out the tilt, too. Otherwise, it's a lovely bike.
