Ask for information that improves the customer journey. Jess explores pop-ups and progressive profiling as ways to build more useful customer data. The emphasis is on relevance and margin, with intentional incentives rather than treating a larger discount as the default answer to every conversion problem.
Give each flow a specific job
Welcome, browse abandonment, and checkout abandonment represent different stages of intent. Jess explains why foundational flows should not become generic, set-and-forget messages. Timing, dynamic content, and the customer’s recent behavior help determine which message belongs at each stage.
Continue the relationship after purchase
Post-purchase and winback messages should reflect the customer’s experience. The session follows the journey beyond conversion into education and re-engagement. Jess also returns to tracking and technical foundations: a well-designed email cannot do its job if the data or trigger behind it is wrong.
