About our Customer

IMBS had a high cart abandonment rate (over 75%), which represented a large loss of potential revenue. The main problems were:
- Lack of automated follow-up to remind customers of their cart.
- Low conversion rate on manual reminders.
- Difficulty in segmenting users according to their behaviour.
- Lack of integration between the online shop and marketing automation.
The Solution
IMBS implemented HubSpot Marketing Hub Pro to optimise their abandoned cart recovery strategy.

- An automated workflow was set up that detected when a user added products to the cart but did not finalise the purchase.
- 3 personalised emails were sent within 24 hours with:
- Cart reminder.
- Exclusive 10% discount if they completed the purchase in the next 12 hours.
- Urgency and shortage (‘Limited places’).
- Lead Segmentation:
- Segmentation was created with Lead Scoring, prioritising users with purchase history or previous interactions with the brand.
- Messages were personalised according to the user's behaviour on the site.
- Retargeting with Dynamic Ads:
- Synced data with Facebook Ads and Google Ads to show remarketing ads with abandoned products.
- Implemented ads with urgency and social proof (‘This item is very popular, few places left!’)
- Use of Chatbots and WhatsApp:
- A chatbot was set up in the online shop to remind users of their cart when they returned.
- An automated WhatsApp message was sent to users who left their number, increasing the recovery rate by 25%.
- Analytics and Ongoing Optimisation:
- Conversions were measured using the HubSpot dashboard, identifying which strategies worked best.
- A/B testing was performed on emails to improve conversion rates.
