Why is automating your email marketing essential?
Many Shopify merchants use email marketing, but they're wasting enormous potential because processes aren't automated. Manually sending newsletters or follow-ups costs time and money and often leads to poor results. Automated email processes solve this problem by sending targeted emails to the right customers at the right time – fully automatically.
Step-by-step guide: How to implement automation correctly
1️⃣ Define your core flows:
- Welcome emails for new subscribers
- Shopping cart abandonment reminders to increase sales
- Post-purchase campaigns for customer loyalty
- Reactivation flows for inactive customers
- Cross- and upsell automation for higher order values
2️⃣ Choose the right automation tools:
- Klaviyo (particularly suitable for Shopify)
- Brevo (formerly Sendinblue, ideal for smaller budgets)
- Mailchimp (user-friendly, but limited Shopify integration)
3️⃣ Set up triggers & segments:
- Separate first-time buyers from returning customers
- Use dynamic product recommendations based on order history
- Plan follow-up sequences for shopping cart abandoners
4️⃣ Optimize shipping times & content:
- Test whether emails have better open rates in the morning or evening
- Use personalization to increase relevance
- Include discount codes or exclusive offers to increase conversion
