👋 Hey there,

Losing sales to abandoned carts?

This prompt creates recovery emails that actually convert.

The Cart Recovery Prompt

Builds a sequence that brings shoppers back without being pushy.

📋 THE PROMPT:

Create a 3-email abandoned cart sequence for [PRODUCT/STORE].

Store details:

  • Products: [WHAT YOU SELL]

  • Average cart value: [AMOUNT]

  • Common abandonment reasons: [SHIPPING COST/HESITATION/DISTRACTION]

  • Your return policy: [DETAILS]

  • Urgency factors: [LIMITED STOCK/SALE ENDING/ETC]

Generate 3 emails:

Email 1: Gentle Reminder (1 hour after abandonment)

  • Subject line (friendly, not desperate)

  • "You left something behind"

  • Show cart contents with images

  • Easy one-click return

  • No pressure

  • CTA: Complete your order

Email 2: Address Objections (24 hours later)

  • Subject line (helpful angle)

  • Anticipate why they didn't buy

  • Highlight: Free shipping/returns, guarantees, reviews

  • Social proof (others bought these)

  • FAQ section (2-3 common questions)

  • CTA: Questions? We're here to help

Email 3: Final Nudge (48 hours later)

  • Subject line (FOMO without being sleazy)

  • Limited time incentive (small discount/free shipping)

  • Scarcity (if authentic - low stock, sale ending)

  • Last chance framing

  • Alternative: "Not quite right? Here are similar items"

  • CTA: Complete order OR shop alternatives

For each email:

  • Keep it personal, not automated-feeling

  • Show actual cart items

  • Remove friction

  • Easy opt-out

🎯 HOW TO USE IT:

  1. Set up cart abandonment tracking

  2. Generate the email sequence

  3. Automate in your email platform

  4. A/B test subject lines

  5. Track recovery rate per email

💡 PRO TIP: Don't discount in Email 1. Many people abandon carts to "save for later" and come back without incentive. Reserve discounts for Email 3 when you'd otherwise lose the sale.
