Set up automated tracking for product prices, especially on item wishlists or frequently viewed items, and send notifications when these items go on sale or their prices drop.

FunnelKit Automations integrates with WooCommerce Wishlists and TI Wishlists. Make sure to install any of these plugins and choose the “Wishlist Item on Sale” event.

add the wishlist item on sale event trigger

Next, enter the custom text that you want to send to your shoppers about the price drop.

Use customer’s past purchases and wishlists to suggest relevant products to them. 

Not just that, FunnelKit Automations lets you segment customers based on their interests, purchase history, average order value, most purchased items category, etc., in your WooCommerce store.

5. Post-purchase follow-ups

Sending immediate notification confirming the purchase and thanking the customer.

Not only that, there are many post-purchase follow-up notifications to leverage:

  • Educate customers about purchased products - Send push notifications with links to articles or videos on how to best use the product.
  • Request product reviews and feedback - Provide a direct link to leave a review on the products purchased by customers. Instead of asking for a general review, ask about particular aspects of the product or experience.
  • Next-purchase discount incentive - Offer a discount on a future purchase immediately after a customer completes an order. This way, you create an immediate incentive for them to return to your store and increase the frequency of purchases.
  • Purchase anniversary or birthdays - Sending personalized discount offers to customers on their first purchase anniversary or birthdays helps build a bond with them.
  • Gather insights for product development - Use short, engaging surveys to gather customers’ feedback about product features or encourage them to suggest new features or improvements to be made to existing products.

6. Subscription reminders

Keeping subscribers engaged and ensuring they renew on time is a constant challenge for businesses with subscription models.

However, you can send the right message at the right time with automated push notifications.

FunnelKit Automations integrates with WooCommerce Subscriptions and lets you trigger automations for subscription reminders.

Just enter the perfect push notification message to be sent to your customers.

Not only that, you get many subscription-related events, such as new subscriptions, subscription renewal payment failed, subscription status changed, subscription trial ended, customer card expired, etc., that you can use to send push notifications.

7. Re-engagement campaigns

The winback or re-engagement campaigns aim to bring back customers who haven’t interacted with your store in a while.

FunnelKit Automations lets you set a timeframe for the period of inactivity of a customer since the date they last purchased from your store.

Once that’s done, send re-engagement notifications to remind lapsed customers of their connection to your brand or provide a special discount to encourage their return.
