Using SALESmanago Marketing Automation software you can personalize your communication with customers by sending product recommendations adapted to their interest and behaviour, for example in a dynamic email, in our Automatic Sales Chat or in a dynamic recommendation frame on your website. To make use of those advanced features you should add a source of information about the products in your online shop to the Marketing Automation system. With the brand new section, Your e-shops, adding a product data from your website to the SALESmanago platform is now fast, easy and moreover remarkably convenient for those who manage more than one online store.
All that you need is a product feed that contains all the necessary information about your merchandise, for example its name, description, category, brand, price, and many more. The product information can be imported to SALESmanago Marketing Automation system as a XML file. We have great news: the process of adding product feeds to the system is now optimized thanks to the new Your e-shops tab. You can access it by simply going to the Settings section, then the Other tab, and finally choosing Your e-shops from the menu on the left.
What are the benefits of adding information from your e-shop?
The data loaded from your online shop product feed allows you to use advanced SALESmanago features that personalize your communication with the customers, such as:
- dynamic email, a highly personalized message perfectly suited to the customer’s interests, preferences, browsing or transaction history, etc.;
- dynamic website content – you can implement a recommendation frame on your website that will show products recommended for specific customers, for example visited items or similar to the purchased ones;
- email with products from abandoned carts – rescue carts abandoned by your online store visitors and boost your revenue by decreasing the number of unfinished transactions;
- Automatic Sales Chat – synchronize our chatbot with your company’s Messenger and automatically display recommended products to the customers during conversations.
The new section in SALESmanago system is also extremely useful when you manage more than one online store. You can add several product feeds for each shop and choose the adequate one when sending a dynamic email, for example. This way you can plan the entirety of marketing activities for each store from only one platform without even having to switch accounts.
