Acting upon the suggestion, the team at eXtra has been able to deliver automated and hyper-personalized welcome campaigns across multiple channels like Email, Web Push, and Mobile Push. And, provide instant value to its new shoppers.

Targeted, hyper-personalized communication at scale 

The team at eXtra wanted to understand abandoners’ browsing behavior to send them event-based campaigns, and effectively nudge them to add products to their cart. 

For this, eXtra created a journey using WebEngage’s Journey Designer to target abandoners’ who dropped off from the product page. And sent hyper-personalized mobile push notifications containing details based on shoppers’ behavioral history like product viewed and profile attributes. Thus driving mobile app engagement and transactions.

Data-driven, hyper-personalized communication at scale

To encourage cart abandoners to complete their purchase, eXtra created cart abandonment user journeys to track users’ actions across the web and mobile. With the help of hyper-personalized communication, they’ve been able to increase purchases and drive revenue.
