Top Findings

Cart abandonment at 70%

5-12% recovered with sequence

Lapsed buyer reactivation

A customer who bought 4 months ago has a 40% chance of buying again if contacted. Reactivation campaigns run 7:1 ROI and most stores never send them.

Post-purchase gap

Customers who get a post-purchase upsell sequence within 48 hours have 25% higher lifetime value. Most stores send nothing after order confirmation.

25% higher LTV

Failed payment recovery

Subscription boxes and membership stores lose 4-6% monthly to payment failures. Automated retry sequences recover 40-60% of that lost revenue.

40-60% of failed recovered

What This Means

E-commerce revenue is in sequences, not shopping. You're losing 70% of carts because nobody asks them to come back. You're losing lapsed customers because you forgot them. You're losing post-purchase upsells because you send nothing after order confirmation. And subscription stores are leaking 4-6% monthly to payment failures you could prevent. The winning stores automate these sequences and let email do the heavy lifting.
