Email templates for E-commerce
Types of e-commerce email templates
Email marketing can be a highly profitable strategy for ecommerce businesses. In fact, according to Litmus, the average return on investment for e-commerce email marketing is $45 for every dollar spent. Each email you send should have a specific purpose. To help you direct your next campaign consider these top types of e-commerce emails:
Welcome emails: automated emails you send to new email list subscribers or customers that create a new account, welcoming them to your community and inviting them to engage further
Promotion emails: advertisements and announcements about special offers and sales, designed to encourage customers to shop
Re-engagement emails: emails you send to customers who haven’t engaged with you in some time, enticing them to come back and potentially offering a special promotion
Abandoned cart emails: automatic emails you send to customers who put items in their digital cart but didn’t make a purchase within a certain period of time, reminding them about the items in their cart and sometimes incentivizing them to complete the purchase by offering a discount
Thank you or confirmation emails: automated emails that confirm a customer’s purchase, including relevant information like their purchase receipt and confirmation number, while also thanking the customer for their support
Loyalty program emails: emails that incentivize your customers to join your loyalty program or highlight how many loyalty points they have and invite them to shop with their rewards
Feedback emails: campaigns that ask customers for feedback, inviting them to complete your survey or to post a review for your business
Each of these types of e-commerce emails has a place and a purpose within your marketing and operations.
