Before importing this automation recipe into your ActiveCampaign account:
- Link your ecommerce store to ActiveCampaign via Deep Data integration
- (Recommended) import the "Store Customer First Purchase Date" automation recipe
- (Recommended) import the "Store Customer Last Purchase Date" automation recipe
Here's how the automation recipe works:
1. The automation is triggered when a contact makes a purchase from your ecommerce store and the information is synced to ActiveCampaign via Deep Data integration
2. The automation checks to see if the contact's "Total Orders" is 1
3. If yes, The automation sends a "Thank you for your purchase and welcome to Company!" email
4. The automation waits for 2 days and sends a "Brand introduction" email
5. If no, the automation checks to see if the contact's "Total Orders" custom field data is 2
6. If yes, The automation sends a personalized, "Thank you for your purchase and nice to see you again!" email
7. The automation waits 2 days and sends an email reiterating your service, more information about your business, or anything else you want to include to your repeat customers
8. If no, the automation sends an email with even more information about your business, and you can include a discount code, coupon, special offer or other incentive to let your repeat customers of 3 or more orders know that you appreciate them
Notes:
- You can change the length of time in any of the wait steps between emails to whatever makes the most sense for your business
- You can change the content of the post-sale emails to include anything that makes the most sense for your business
