Case studies/Ecommerce
A school spirit apparel retailer

14.1% of abandoned carts recovered, quarter after quarter.

The highest recovery rate on this list, and the steadiest — 13.7%, 13.9% and 14.1% across 30, 60 and 90 days. Nearly one in seven abandoned carts comes back.

The challenge

Custom apparel is bought for a reason and a deadline — a season, a team, an event. Shoppers abandon while checking a size with someone else or waiting on a decision that is not theirs alone to make. The intent is rarely gone; it is just parked, and it expires when the season does.

What changed

1

Capture tied to a specific order

The integration records exactly what was configured — the garment, the size, the team or school it was customised for. A reminder that names the item is a different message from a reminder that says "your cart".

2

Messages that read as useful, not promotional

Click-through runs at 8.7%, roughly double the rest of this list. When the email restates a decision the shopper had already almost made, opening it is worth their time.

3

A rate that holds

Recovery sat at 13.7%, 13.9% and 14.1% across the three windows measured. The consistency matters more than the peak — it is a rate the retailer can plan revenue against.
