On the homepage, you can welcome customers back who are returning to your site. This will allow you to show products that they are interested in and will help them complete their shopping experience with you. As a store owner, you can automatically display trending products to allow your customers to see what is most popular right now.

Behavioral Pop-ups

With Nosto, you can create pop ups for new or first time customers and offer them a discount. You can reduce site abandonment with a triggered pop up when the customer has an intent to exit. You can offer specific promos from customers who come to your site from a paid search or Facebook ad campaigns.

This specific example is when a customer is on the cart page and they have intent to leave the site, a pop up will appear with a discount for them to use on their order.

Personalized Emails

With Nosto, there are a few different email types that you can send out to your customers all of which are triggered emails. One email type is abandoned cart emails. When an item is added to the cart and the customer leaves the site, Nosto can send that customer a reminder email, like the one below, that will let the customer know they left a product in their cart, and try to bring that customer back to your site to make a purchase.

Another triggered email that can be set up is Order Follow Up Emails. You can set up automatica follow-up emails which include related and relevant product recommendations. These emails can be delayed shortly, like a couple of days, to entice the shoppers who already bought, to continue their shopping spree!

We miss you emails are also very helpful to bring customers back to your site who haven’t visited in awhile. The emails are automatically sent with personalized product recommendations from the customer’s last shopping behavior.
