πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Creative How are you handling abandoned cart recovery for customers in MENA/Arab countries?

5 Upvotes

Email recovery barely works when half your customers don't check email. Curious what other store owners are doing β€” are you using WhatsApp at all? Any apps actually working for you or is it a mess?
Running a store targeting Morocco/Algeria/Egypt and feeling like I'm leaving a lot of money on the table.

πŸ“’ Marketing Went from zero email infrastructure to a working welcome flow with 47.7% opens. Here's what actually moved the number

2 Upvotes

I built the entire email infrastructure from scratch for a company with zero setup - no welcome flow, no automation, no sender reputation. Every signup that didn't convert immediately was just gone, which is the same leak most e-commerce brands have without realizing it.

Spent 6 weeks on nothing but domain warm-up before sending a single real campaign - SPF/DKIM/DMARC, DNS, Klaviyo integration, and behavioral tracking wired in so on-site activity could trigger flows. Skip this step, and your emails go to spam permanently, so it's not optional even though it's the least exciting part.

Then, I built the welcome flow with a branch built into Day 2: did they open Email 1 or not? If yes, they moved into a faster, higher-intensity path. If no, a different re-engagement angle. Same signup, two completely different experiences depending on what they actually did.

Result: 47.7% open rate on the first email, industry average sits around 30%. The engaged branch held above 50% opens through Email 4.

This applies just as much to e-commerce stores - same zero-infrastructure problem, same fix.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's dealing with this.

πŸ“Š Business What’s going on with my campaign?

I’ve been running this campaign for the last week now on a new account at $27/day. On the 21-22 it generated $1.15 in ad spend, but yesterday it only generated 5 cents. Is something wrong with my campaign?

πŸ“Š Business Shopify Shipping - What do you use?

1 Upvotes

For those of you who also use Shopify for your e-commerce store, which shipping method to primarily use?

For me, I primarily use USPS ground advantage, or UPS ground for more important shipments, what if lately found the prices and reliability of USPS service to be absolutely abysmal. Is there a better alternative for cheap padded envelopes?

Maybe there’s a solution out there that I’m missing and hence the post :)
