A lot of customers add items to their carts, but never buy. It’s time to fix that. 

Daniel is joined by Brian Best, current Senior CRM Lead @ Samsung. They talk about the impending holiday season (yes, it’s right around the corner) and how you can pull shoppers back in using CRM and retargeting strategies. 

Brian talks about making SMS, push, and email into a seamless journey, even if we’re trained to think they’re separate items. This journey also works for retargeting. With things like smart emails to category-specific nudges, you can move customers down the funnel…and have them coming back for more. 

Plus, what’s the deal with customer lifetime value? How do you even calculate it? CLV should drive every decision you make, especially around the holiday season. Staying at the top of your customers’ minds should be your priority. 

Whether you’re gearing up for Black Friday or building year-round retention, this is the episode for you.
