WooCommerce Customer Engagement

Related Resource: WooCommerce & Ecommerce Development

Website visits and WooCommerce customer engagement are without a doubt essential for your growing your business.  But blanket email blasts and re-marketing campaigns are only part of the solution. You can’t be certain your email blast will be relatable to every member of your segmented email marketing list.  Advertisement campaigns and user tracking help, but rely on getting just the right message or ad to display, and can have limited reach. This is why a more personal approach can often be beneficial.

Improve WooCommerce customer engagement by zooming in

No matter how successful your online WooCommerce store or WordPress content site performs, you can always benefit with improved customer engagement. You may have a superb mobile experience, great customer reviews and amazing sales, but are you emailing your customers after they purchase with targeted sales they may be interested in?  Do you let your audience know when you have posted new content? Do you want to keep your user base engaged with new site features?

WooCommerce Follow Ups can help with all of this, not to mention at an amazing price point. If you have done any research into email marketing, you will know it can be pretty expensive. But with Follow Ups you bring all the features of traditional email marketing into your website, and with some configuration you can be engaging with your users for a fraction of the price of major campaigns.  All the campaign tools you need can be configured from your dashboard.

The Power of Follow Ups in WooCommerce – or any E-commerce

The power of follow ups is in their personal touch.  If your customer makes a purchase, you can follow up with news and updates from that product line that they may be interested in.  You can automate Twitter messages to send updates to your social network followers when a new product has rolled out.

You can create campaigns and segment your WordPress users to send targeted emails about new content. You can automate sending coupons for different parts of your catalog based on whatever conditions you want to use. You can easily create your own Newsletter sign-ups and manage all subscriptions and opt-outs right from your admin dashboard.

A variety of campaign types are available like storewide messages, signups, subscriptions, points or rewards emails, even manual emails that make it simple to carry out a specific type of campaign.  Follow Ups incorporates with a huge variety of WooCommerce extensions like events, bookings, and subscription renewals.

Using Follow Ups Effectively in WooCommerce

If this tool sounds like it could bring you some real benefit from user engagement, we have a couple tips to get started.

  • Give your follow up a strong call to action.  Link directly to new products, new content, or a new feature in your follow up.
  • Encourage more conversions by offering post purchase promotions. A week or so after purchase, this promotion will remind your customer about where the product they received just came from, reinforcing your brand.
  • Encourage social media sharing by including social media links in your emails. This is a low effort move that provides a simple way for your users to engage your brand in their social sphere.

Follow Ups brings the power of more conventional and pricier email campaign management directly into your WordPress site. If you want the ability to deploy email campaigns at a reasonable price point with unlimited subscribers, Follow Ups is a very attractive solution.

Watermelon Web Works has been incredible to work with. They are patient, understanding, and quick to answer any questions (or emergencies) you might have. After switching over to them to help re-vamp our online retail store, we hired them to build our wholesale website as well. I can't recommend them enough - Thank you team!

My previous web developer who I was very happy with retired and I was pretty sad about it because it seems now days it is hard to hire a web developer close by with a good set of skills who is interested in helping small business at reasonable prices. Then I found Watermelon and I have been very happy. They are responsive, are able to solve problems, and work at reasonable prices.

We hired Watermelon to help us with our website. They were very thorough and took the time to explain in layman's terms what they were doing and how we could improve SEO and site functionality. We will definitely be back for future website needs!

Great work and amazing service! We're a non-profit, and our priorities are always focused on maintaining the Astoria Column. We had a website built by someone else a few years ago, but without regular updating and maintenance, sections of our site were no longer functional. Joanna and the rest of the team came in and had everything working within a week and it's been smooth sailing since then!

Watermelon has been a fantastic web development partner. Through every phase of our project they have always been 100% responsive to our requests and have always provided highly knowledgeable, creative, prompt, and personable team members to work with. As a financial institution we’re always concerned about the security and maintenance or our website and Watermelon has always provided the appropriate resources in order to meet and/or exceed our compliance and security requirements. We would surely refer them to any business associates looking for a qualified WordPress web designer in the future. – Denali Federal Credit Union

Watermelon Web Works did a great job creating a custom shopping cart page for our firm. Gavynn in particular was especially helpful and responsive. We appreciated the upfront costs and the technical competency of Watermelon Web Works and would not hesitate to work with the people there again.

I cannot say enough good things about Watermelon. They are terrific communicators, highly competent coders, and really, really nice people. They were instrumental in helping us to assemble a very usable, easily maintainable website for our organization. They' have demonstrated great flexibility in accommodating our evolving needs. They have been highly responsive to any technical issues, typically resolving them in less than 4 hours. Watermelon Web Works will make your organization better, and your CFO/Treasurer will be happy when they see the bill - what more can you ask for?
