Recover lost sales by letting customers save items—and reminding them when they show interest.
Turn Browsers into Buyers with Gentle Reminders
Not every shopper buys right away—and that’s okay. By offering wishlists and browse/cart reminders, you capture interest and recover what would otherwise be lost.
1. Offer a Wishlist or Save Option
Allow customers to ‘heart’ or save items. These go into a wishlist tied to their profile—yhought via your POS or synced system.
2. Automate Reminder Emails
If an item is saved—or browsed multiple times but not purchased—send a friendly reminder such as “Still thinking about this?” Your POS can trigger this automatically within 24–48 hours.
3. Include Live Inventory Updates
Let customers know, “Only 3 left in stock!” to create urgency. POS ensures stock counts in emails stay accurate.
4. Pair with Smart Incentives
Offer a small discount to nudge purchase: “Want it now? Use CODE10 for $10 off.” Use POS promo tags to apply discounts automatically.
5. Analyze Recovery Rates
Track how many wish lists or abandoned messages turn into purchases. POS dashboards show conversion rate and revenue recovered.
6. Refresh Saved Items Periodically
Send a monthly summary: “You still have 5 items…complete your look here.” Keeps items top of mind without being pushy.
Final thoughts
Wishlists and reminders work like virtual assistants, nudging customers gently toward decisions. With your POS handling data and timing, lost revenue becomes recoverable—and shopping experiences more helpful.
