Someone just completed a purchase from your online store. Sweet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that order confirmation isn’t the finish line; it’s the starting gun. This is your golden opportunity to turn a one-time buyer into a loyal fan who keeps coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best tool for the job: a smart series of emails you send after<\/em> the sale. These post-purchase emails are your secret weapon for building trust, showing you care, and building a relationship that goes way beyond a single transaction. In this blog you’ll learn everything you need to know to start putting post-purchase emails to work for your brand so you can turn one-time buyers into returning customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are post-purchase emails?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, what are post-purchase emails? Post-purchase emails include a variety of different automated email marketing messages<\/a> brands send to customers who have already completed at least one purchase. A message thanking the customer and showing your appreciation is one example of a post-purchase email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically, brands send post-purchase emails soon after the customer makes the purchase. For example, an order confirmation email should go out immediately to assure the customer that their purchase went through successfully and give them a chance to make any necessary changes. Waiting more than a few weeks to send your post-purchase follow-up email may make the message less effective since your brand is no longer fresh in the customer’s mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The value of post-purchase emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These post-purchase communications aim to build trust and customer loyalty, which will, in turn, increase customer lifetime value (CLV). CLV measures the total amount a company will generate from a customer over the entirety of their relationship. Customer A, who only ever buys one $50 product from a company has a CLV of $50, but Customer B, who buys one $50 product from the company every year for ten years, has a CLV of $500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how do after-purchase emails factor into CLV? They aim to turn Customer A into Customer B, a loyal returning customer who creates more value for the brand. Compared to other marketing emails, these emails have open rates that are 17% higher<\/a>. They also offer 90% more revenue per recipient<\/a> than pre-purchase emails. Simply put, post-purchase emails are too valuable for brands to ignore as part of their email marketing strategy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
15 post-purchase email examples to drive engagement and loyalty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many different types of post-purchase emails you can send to customers depending on your goals and preferences. Here are some of the most common post-purchase email examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Order confirmation emails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Immediately after the customer completes a purchase, brands can send order confirmation emails. These emails typically contain a list of the products the customer purchased, their quantity and prices, the total sale amount, and other purchase details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customers generally expect order confirmation emails and may become concerned that something is wrong with their order if they don’t get this message. Make sure to send an order confirmation to the customer as soon as possible to ensure they know their order is progressing properly. Also, include information for contacting customer support in case there are any issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out our order confirmation email tips<\/a> for more details on how to craft a great one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Shipping and delivery confirmation emails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Shipping and delivery confirmation emails are similar to order confirmation emails in that they are straightforward transactional emails brands send after purchase. Companies send a shipping confirmation once they ship the order and the package is on its way to the customer. Similarly, they send delivery confirmation emails once the package has arrived at the customer’s door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These after-purchase emails keep customers in the loop about what’s going on with their orders. They provide some peace of mind to customers and can head off concerns about when packages will be delivered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Engaging customers with educational content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As the expert on your products, you have valuable information you can share with customers who have already completed purchases. Tutorials on how to use the product, advice on how to get the most out of it, and answers to common questions all make great educational content to include in post-purchase emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information you share with customers in these messages will engage them and keep them thinking about your brand, two benefits of email marketing<\/a>. You can also reduce support center requests by addressing frequent concerns or questions before they become problems. Leverage existing blog posts or other content you’ve already produced to reduce the workload in creating these educational after-purchase emails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Thank you emails and customer appreciation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It’s common to thank customers in the order or delivery confirmation emails, but a separate post-purchase thank you email is a great way to highlight your appreciation for your existing customers. In these thank-you emails, you can share some more information about your brand or the products the customer purchased to engage them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some brands choose to include a token of their appreciation in this email such as a special discount or a surprise free gift. Even if you just send a heartfelt thanks to your customers, though, that can go a long way toward building strong customer loyalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out our blog on how to write a thank you email<\/a> to learn how to write an effective one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Loyalty and referral program emails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
An after-purchase email is an ideal way to inform existing customers of loyalty or referral programs. Share the basic details of your program and the ways it benefits your customers to entice them to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your customer loves the product, telling their friends and family about it helps everyone. Your business gets more customers, the family and friends get to purchase a great product, and the referring customer gets the benefits from the referral program. The different types of loyalty programs<\/a> provide additional incentives for customers to continue shopping from your company and to recommend your products to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Review requests and feedback solicitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Strong reviews and feedback from existing customers make an incredibly powerful tool in your marketing efforts to gain new customers. Ratings and reviews are one of the top factors customers use to evaluate products, and 93% of customers<\/a> say the content of these reviews affects whether they buy specific products or services. Unfortunately, only between 5% and 10% of customers write reviews<\/a> after purchase. Increase reviews on your products by sending review request emails after customers complete a purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wondering exactly how to ask for customer reviews<\/a>? Keep your feedback solicitation email short and consider offering an incentive for providing feedback to increase responses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Cross-sell and upsell opportunity emails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once a customer has made a purchase, you can send highly targeted emails promoting cross-sell or upsell opportunities. Cross-selling involves selling the customer different but related products to the one they already purchased. These related products pair well together and add value to one another. Upselling is similar — it’s selling the customer a bigger or better version of what they already bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your customers may not be aware of the other products in your catalog that would complement or augment their previous purchase. Cross-sell and upsell emails are a way to make them aware of those opportunities and hopefully increase a customer’s lifetime value. They’re some of the best email drip campaigns<\/a> to promote your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. User-generated content and community-building<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike reviews, user-generated content (UGC)<\/a> of your products serves as strong social proof that entices other consumers to purchase from your brand. Increase UGC by reaching out to previous customers and requesting that they post about your products on social media sites. Customers sharing their stories about their experiences with your product seem more authentic and persuasive<\/a> to viewers than in-house promotional content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider offering an incentive like a discount for customers who create content with your products. In the email, instruct them to use a certain hashtag so you can find the posts they create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Discount and incentive follow-ups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Want to get that second sale? A great way to do it is with a follow-up email that includes a special offer. This isn’t about just saying thanks. It’s about giving them a great reason to come back, soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A week or two after their purchase, send a friendly email with a limited-time discount, a free shipping offer, or another incentive for their next purchase. It’s a simple, powerful way to encourage a repeat visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10. Reorder and replenishment reminders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don’t let your customers run on empty. If you sell products that get used up—like coffee, skincare, or vitamins—a replenishment reminder is a must-have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on when they bought the item, you can guess when they’re about to run out. Send them a timely, helpful email that says, “Running low? Reorder now with one click.” It makes your customers’ lives easier plus keeps your brand top of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11. Product care and maintenance tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You want your customers to love their purchase for a long, long time. So show them how! Send a helpful email with tips on how to care for, clean, or maintain their new item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a piece of clothing, it could be washing instructions. For a plant, it could be a watering guide. This simple email shows you care beyond the sale. It improves customer satisfaction and can even reduce returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12. Onboarding or getting started guides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don’t just drop a great product at their door. Show them how to get the most out of it, right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is especially important for products that require a little setup or have a learning curve. Your “getting started” email can guide them through the first steps, highlight key features, or link to helpful resources. The faster they get value from their purchase, the happier they’ll be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13. Return, exchange, and support info<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes things just don’t work out. And that’s okay. The best thing you can do is make it super easy for a customer to get help if they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A proactive email that clearly explains your return policy, how to do an exchange, or the best way to contact customer support is a huge trust-builder. It reassures your customer that you stand behind your products and you’re there to help if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14. Milestone and usage-based check-ins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A simple “How’s it going?” can go a long way. After a customer has had your product for a specific amount of time—a week, a month, six months—send them a friendly check-in email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can ask how they’re enjoying the product, offer a pro-tip, or even suggest a next step. It’s a great way to show you’re still thinking about them and gives you another chance to provide value long after the initial purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15. Exclusive access and early announcements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Want to make your customers feel like true VIPs? Give them the inside scoop. An email that offers them exclusive early access to a new product or a big upcoming sale is a fantastic way to reward their loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It makes them feel special and part of a community. Plus, it’s a great way to build buzz and drive sales before you even announce it to the general public. A true win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best practices for crafting post-purchase emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ready to write some amazing post-purchase emails? Keep these simple tips in mind to make every message count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Focus on your messaging.<\/strong> Get straight to the point. Your message should be short, direct, and most importantly, sound like you<\/em>. Don’t lose your brand’s unique personality just because it’s a transactional email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Provide real value.<\/strong> Every single email should be helpful. Don’t just ask for a review or push another sale. Offer a useful tip, share a helpful link, or provide a surprise discount. If you give value, your customers will be happy to see your name pop up in their inbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Create compelling subject lines.<\/strong> Your amazing email doesn’t matter if no one opens it. Write clear, compelling subject lines<\/a> that tell people exactly what’s inside. Something simple like “Your order has shipped!” works perfectly because it’s direct and helpful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use high-quality visuals.<\/strong> A great photo can make all the difference. Use beautiful, high-quality images of your products. It reminds your customers of the great item they just bought (or what they could buy next!) and makes your emails look way more professional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Have a clear call to action (CTA).<\/strong> Tell your readers exactly what you want them to do next. Use a big, bright, impossible-to-miss button. Action-packed text like “Track My Order” or “Get My 15% Off” works way better than a vague “Click Here.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Time your messages wisely.<\/strong> Timing is everything. Send that order confirmation right away. But hold off on the other emails. A request for a review, for example, should wait until they’ve actually had a chance to use the product. Don’t overwhelm them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Segment customers for targeted messaging.<\/strong> One size doesn’t fit all. You can segment your customers<\/a> into different groups based on what they buy. This lets you send super-relevant messages that really connect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Personalize your emails.<\/strong> People love seeing their own name. Personalized emails<\/a> get way more opens. Just using their first name can make a huge difference and make your email feel more like a one-on-one chat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use A\/B testing.<\/strong> Not sure which subject line will work best? Try an A\/B test<\/a>. Just send two different versions of your email to small parts of your list. The results will tell you which one your audience likes more. It’s a great way to learn and get better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Post-purchase email benchmarks and metrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Measure critical post-purchase email campaign benchmarks and metrics like you would with any other email marketing campaign. Use your email analytics and reporting software<\/a> to keep an eye on metrics such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Open rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Click-through rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Conversion rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bounce rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Response rate (when applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Remember that you shouldn’t hold post-purchase emails to the same benchmarks as general marketing emails to prospective consumers. For example, your open rate on after-purchase emails<\/a> should typically be higher than your general open rate. Monitoring these metrics will help you find any weaknesses in your after-purchase emails and improve them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automate your post-purchase emails to build lasting customer relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Post-purchase emails are powerful marketing tools that can greatly increase customer engagement, loyalty, and lifetime value. But sending them all manually just isn’t feasible — there simply aren’t enough hours in the day. Instead, use an email automation system<\/a> to ensure your customers receive these important messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With email marketing software like Constant Contact, you can create automated email workflows for your post-purchase emails. You specify the action that triggers one of your pre-created post-purchase emails — such as placing an order — and that email will automatically go out to the customer when they complete that action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constant Contact makes the process of creating a post-purchase email workflow simple. Sign up for free<\/a> to see our powerful all-in-one marketing tool in action and decide if it’s right for you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
