In November 2014, the company Planet Parfum decided to rise up to the challenge of the digital shift by launching its own e-commerce platform. However, keeping a firm grip on the Web evolutions remains a real challenge, reflected by the gap between the new customers' expectations and businesses that have trouble providing the right solution. 
Nowadays as the conversion rate only reaches 2%, Planet Parfum would like to convert more visitors into customers on its e-shop. In order to reach this goal, we focused our « thesis » on an e-mail retargeting strategy, and more specifically on the process of sending e-mail to recover abandoned shopping carts. Indeed, on average 80% of the visitors do not complete their checkout process and are regrettably not retargeted. There is clear evidence that this undoubtedly high statistic is unfortunate and harmful for the turnover of an online store such as the one of Planet Parfum.
After an in-depth theoretical documentation, we observed and studied the shopping cart abandonment e-mail campaigns of various e-commerce platforms, to ultimately create and implement our own strategy. Finally we conducted a test on the timing to send out the e-mail. The results confirmed that the adage « we need to strike while the iron is hot » applies to our retargeting application. Nevertheless, we recommend the company to experiment, through several A/B tests, all the mailing components likely to encourage the cart abandoners to complete their purchase, in order to find the best e-mail recovery campaign for it. 
In conclusion, the abandoned cart e-mail strategy and its level of sophistication are the key assets for a succeeded customer experience and a strategic vector for the turnover increase. In order to achieve this goal, there is nothing better than testing, accustoming and optimizing any e-mail components.

Picture a familiar scene: long lines of shoppers waiting to check out at the grocery store, carts filled to the brim with the week's food. While many might wonder what is in each cart, Andrew Warnes implores us to consider the symbolism of the cart itself. In his inventive new book, Warnes examines how the everyday shopping cart is connected to a complex web of food production and consumption that has spread from the United States throughout the world. Today, shopping carts represent choice and autonomy for consumers, a recognizable American way of life that has become a global phenomenon. This succinct and and accessible book provides an excellent overview of consumerism and the globalization of American culture.
