As well as providing the data for Predict’s recommendations and Smart Insight’s customer lifecycle segments, the Emarsys data collection scripts also update a number of contact behavior fields in your database.
You can also use these fields to create automated programs that further enhance your customer lifecycle marketing.
Lead conversion / browse abandonment programs
Use the predict last session date
and predict last purchase date
fields to identify leads who have visited your site but not yet bought anything.
Combine them with predict last session time spent
and predict last session categories
to gauge their level of engagement and the products they are interested in, and target them with incentives accordingly.
Inventory management / product promotions
Use the predict last session categories
, predict last abandoned categories
and predict last purchase categories
fields to segment contacts you know to be interested in these products and target them with stock-clearance and back-in-stock campaigns, as well as cross- and up-sell campaigns.
Abandoned cart programs
How many of your shopping carts are abandoned? Use the predict last abandoned date
and predict last abandoned categories
fields to trigger timely reminders to customers of what they left behind.
Combine it with predict last abandoned total price
to offer different incentives based on total cart value. In this way you can recover up to 20% of your abandoned purchases!
If you don’t want to keep sending recovery campaigns for items that have been left in the cart for a long time, check if the predict last abandoned products
field has changed or not.
Winback / reactivation programs
The fields predict last session date
and predict last purchase date
give you a good indication of when customers are beginning to defect. Combine them with predict last purchase categories
to offer targeted incentives.
Lookalike audiences for Digital Ads
See our example on how to use the web behavior fields to create a great lookalike audience.
Better personalization
You can also use these fields to personalize sections of batch email campaigns with dynamic content that will increase click-through-rates and conversions. For example:
- Use the
predict last session
/abandoned
/purchase categories
fields to select the right content based on their last preference. - Use the
predict last abandoned session
/cart
/purchase
fields to segment your audience according to their level of engagement and treat them accordingly.
Export data for use in other activities
Targeted lists can be generated based on the data collected through our JavaScript API and subsequently exported for use in other marketing activities. For example:
- A high value for
predict last session time spent
with no correspondingpredict last purchase date
may indicate problems with your shopping experience. - A high
predict last purchase total price
may merit one-to-one interaction from your Customer Services, such as invitation to a loyalty scheme. - You can also match purchase activity with email responses and consider targeting individuals through other channels for better conversion.
