Recover Abandoned Carts with Blue BubblesBuilt for E-commerce Stores.
Your abandoned cart emails have 20% open rates. That means 80% of your potential revenue is going unread. iMessage marketing delivers cart recovery, promotions, and order updates directly to customers' lock screens—where they actually look.
Highlight: E-commerce stores see 30-35% cart recovery rates with iMessage vs 5-10% with email-only recovery.
Abandoned carts are killing your revenue
Revenue loss crisis
You're losing 70-80% of potential sales to abandoned carts. Your email recovery campaigns have 20% open rates, meaning 80% of your recovery messages go unread. That's thousands of dollars in lost revenue every month.
Email visibility issues
Meanwhile, your promotional emails are landing in spam folders, flash sales go unnoticed, and customers miss order updates. You need a channel that reaches customers where they actually pay attention—their phones.
Common pain points for e-commerce stores
Abandoned cart rates of 70-80%
Email recovery campaigns with 5-10% conversion
Promotional emails landing in spam
Low engagement on flash sales and promotions
Customers missing order updates and tracking
Difficulty reaching customers in real-time
The cost of inaction: lost revenue from abandoned carts, missed promotional opportunities, and declining customer engagement.

Best practices for e-commerce iMessage marketing
Get explicit opt-in
Ask customers to opt-in during checkout or account creation. Frame it as "Get exclusive offers and order updates via text" to set expectations.
Keep messages concise and visual
Use 2-3 short lines with clear CTAs. Include product images when possible. Make it easy to scan and act on.
Personalize based on behavior
Reference browsing history, past purchases, or cart contents. Show customers you know what they want.
Time messages strategically
Send cart reminders within 1-2 hours. Schedule promotional messages during peak shopping hours. Avoid late-night sends unless time-sensitive.
Respect frequency and preferences
Limit promotional messages to 2-3 per week. Make opt-out easy (reply STOP). Honor customer preferences immediately.
A/B test everything
Test message copy, timing, discount amounts, and CTAs. Use Tuco AI analytics to identify winning variants and scale what works.
