OMG! I just got two orders on my website today! In one day!!! Last week I received 2 order back to back. OMG!
 I am Tory Burch!!!!
Â
My enthusiasm is so warranted because after a year working on my site, I have had just a dribble of purchases.

According to Shopify, 67.45% carts are abandoned and not necessarily because the customer didn’t want to purchase.
Â
So, lastly, this motivated me to finally set up an abandoned cart email. I choose a really simple one from Abandon App. Free and good for now.

Next I will work on an incredible abandoned cart email template….sooner than later this time.
I will stay steady on track. I will be a
