Frequently Asked Questions

Email and SMS marketing funnels play a central role in ecommerce growth by transforming one-time transactions into long-term customer relationships. Unlike paid acquisition channels, these funnels operate across the entire customer lifecycle, supporting education, conversion recovery, post-purchase experience, and reactivation.

High-performing ecommerce brands design email and SMS strategies that prioritize relevance, timing, and segmentation over volume. Welcome sequences set expectations, abandoned flows recover lost intent, and post-purchase messaging reinforces satisfaction and repeat behavior.
