Consumers often visit online shops only to compare prices. And because there ?is no personal contact as in bricks and mortar shops, consumers have no shame in simply abandoning their shopping carts. So how do you get these customers to make a purchase?

Retargeting using individualized newsletters, emails, banners, etc. is a good approach. But often customers then feel like they’re being stalked.

We have a solution for shopping cart abandoners: REALTIME PRINTING deeply embedded in REALTIME MARKETING.? Thus we are printing every morning and every afternoon tens of thousands of highly individualized and personalized postcards and selfmailers, depending on
- the purchase and non-purchase history of visitors
- CRM’s system’s rules
- predictive analytics.

The conversion rates mostly are higher than 10% as I explain in my interview with Cary Sherburne: http://whattheythink.com/video/84915-eversfrank-gruppe-promotes-real-time-printing/
