Imagine pouring tons of effort into acquiring new users, only to watch most of them fade away without ever using your product’s best features. It’s a common scenario: a user signs up for a free trial, pokes around a bit, and then disappears. Why? Often because they never experienced the “aha” moment – they didn’t reach the value your product offers.

Marketers know that winning customers’ hearts (and wallets) takes more than a one-time ad or a standard promo email. It’s about creating a smooth, personalized journey across every touchpoint – from browsing your website, to the products you recommend, to the emails and SMS messages that follow up. When done right, it feels like one continuous conversation. When done wrong, it feels disjointed (and customers drop off). In this blog, we’ll explore how website personalization and product recommendations go hand-in-hand with email and SMS marketing to form a seamless customer journey. We’ll use Sephora – a brand that aces omnichannel personalization – as our example, and show how you can achieve this too (without the enterprise techstack headache). Let’s dive in!

Cart abandonment has long been one of the most persistent challenges in e-commerce. Most businesses have tried to tackle it with reactive approaches like post-abandonment emails and SMS or a retargeting ad campaign. However, these methods often reach customers with “too little, too late,” - they’ve already moved on.

Imagine your customers landing on a page that feels generic and out-of-touch—whether it's during a product launch, customer onboarding, or a seasonal promotion. That initial disconnect not only wastes your budget but also leaves your visitors feeling like just another number.

Remember when qualifying leads was simple? Marketing would hand over MQLs to sales, and sales would work their magic to convert them into SQLs. Those days are gone! The rise of product-led growth (the strategy lets users try your product for free before they make a financial commitment) in SaaS has changed everything about how we identify and qualify potential customers.
