Questions this episode answers

Why is retargeting existing customers valuable for online stores?

Existing customers have already had a positive experience, making them the best leads. Retarget them with relevant offers based on buyer persona data, such as reminding them of a product refill cycle, and treat them differently from visitors who never purchased.

What role do messaging apps play in e-commerce customer support?

The top four messaging apps have over 2 billion monthly active users. Being available on Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, Twitter DMs, and website chat lets businesses serve customers in the way they prefer to communicate, capturing leads even during off hours.
