2X eCommerce Podcast | S06 EP29: Scaling Customer Relationships with Conversational SMS Marketing w/ Lisa Popovici, Cartloop

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Lisa Popovici, Co-Founder at Cartloop - a done-for-you SMS marketing platform that helps Shopify brands build better customer relationships through 1:1 conversational messaging.

Show Notes

Abandoned cart recovery is a crucial element of every eCommerce brand’s marketing strategy. It’s usually just one question or doubt in the shopper’s mind that prevents them from completing their purchase. The quicker and more personalised the follow up, the higher are the chances of converting the customer. It is one of those elements that have a very direct impact on the bottom line.

Most brands use auto-responder emails with prebuilt messages as a follow up tool to solve this problem. Since they’re mostly over email, the element of spontaneity is lost. And these messages can only be personalised to a certain extent. Platforms like Cartloop use conversational marketing to solve this problem.

In this episode, Kunle and Lisa talk all about leveraging SMS as a conversational marketing tool. You will get to hear about why SMS is most effective at abandoned cart recovery and how Cartloop’s hybrid AI-Human model solves problems for businesses. This is a great episode for merchants and marketers who are looking to build out omnichannel marketing.
