Social Media
In the e-commerce world, cart abandonment continues to be one of the biggest sales obstacles for brands. Users add products to their carts, even proceed to the checkout stage, but suddenly leave the page. So, what should be done to minimize these losses? The answer lies in data targeting and programmatic advertising strategies that make it possible to reach the right user at the right time.
Dynamics of Cart Abandonment
Research shows that cart abandonment rates vary depending on the industry and device type, but average around 70%. The main reasons why users abandon their purchases include:
- Additional shipping or tax fees
- Complicated checkout process
- Mandatory account creation
- Long delivery times
However, each abandonment can actually be turned into a targeted opportunity.
Winning Back Lost Customers with Data Targeting
Data targeting means understanding user behavior and delivering personalized ads tailored to those behaviors. To win back a user who has abandoned their cart, a combination of:
- First-party data (data collected directly by the brand)
- Third-party data (segments obtained from external sources)
- Contextual targeting (the context of the content the user is viewing)
is used.
In this way, it becomes possible to reach a user who has left products in their cart with a personalized offer or reminder in a short period of time.
PThe Power of Programmatic Advertising
Programmatic buying optimizes ad placements in real time. Thanks to this technology:
- Users’ online behavior data is analyzed.
- Ads are shown on the right platform at the right time.
- The budget is used in the most efficient way possible.
For example, if a user is browsing products similar to the one they left in their cart, the algorithm detects this signal and delivers a customized campaign image to them in real time.
