01Plan around the shopping journey
Describe the people or organisations you want to reach, why the message matters to them and the action you hope they will take. A specific brief gives your team a practical basis for choosing content and reviewing a draft. Consider the customer journey from welcome to purchase and follow-up. A welcome email can set expectations, while a post-purchase message can provide care instructions or support information. Product details and prices should be checked against the current catalogue.
02Use accurate store information
Give the recipient a reason to continue reading. Explain the offer in plain language, connect it to the relevant context and make the next step easy to understand. AutoEmails can help prepare email content, while your team checks the facts, tone and suitability for the audience. Connect your store where appropriate and review the data available to each journey. Avoid treating an abandoned basket or an email open as a completed sale; use order outcomes to assess the work.
03Connect activity to orders
After a campaign or journey is running, review its activity alongside the outcome you actually want, such as a conversation, an enquiry or a repeat purchase. Use that evidence to improve the audience and message; engagement alone does not establish business impact.
