Please note that we have tested this Shopify Tactic with the Growave app with the basic setup. You might need Premium Subscription to that app. You can also use another app if it supports Shopify Flow and the specific use case. In this case, please note that it is your responsibility to test that app.
This demand generation Tactic alerts your customers that the prices have dropped of some products they put on their wishlist. For this Tactic to work and to be triggered, first you need to activate a Shopify Flow automation in Shopify.
This Shopify Flow Tactic is built in Interactions.
It supports the Revenue objective by contributing to the following strategies:
- Drive First Purchase
- Reduce Customer Churn
- Drive Second Purchase
- Drive Web Traffic
Channels:
- Web Channel
- SMS
Overview of the process:
- Product from the contact's wishlist drops in price (Shopify Flow).
- This event triggers the Wishlist price drop Tactic in Emarsys.
- Relevant contacts are matched.
- Email (and if used, Web Channel and SMS campaign) sent with product details.
All Shopify Flow Tactics are connected to the respective Shopify Flow templates. By using the relevant Emarsys nodes in your Shopify Flow programs, the corresponding Tactics are triggered in Emarsys. So you can automate processes related to your store such as tagging your customers, sending reminders or most importantly increase customer engagement. For more information about the Emarsys nodes used in Shopify Flow and the Wishlist Price Drop node, see Emarsys nodes in Shopify Flow.
