The other two
4. Inventory + restock alerts
Customers who wanted a sold-out item almost always forget about you by the time it's back. AI-powered waitlist automation captures interest when an item goes out of stock, segments by urgency and size, and triggers personalized WhatsApp/email notifications the moment it's back.
Typical lift: 5-12% of restock-driven revenue that would otherwise go to competitors. Build cost: $6-10K. Pays back in 60-90 days for any store with meaningful SKU turnover.
5. Abandoned browse recovery
This is the sneaky one. Cart abandonment gets all the attention, but most shoppers don't even get to cart. They browse 3-5 products and leave. Browse abandonment sequences target these shoppers with the specific products they viewed, scored by time-on-page and repeat visits.
Typical lift: 3-6% of total revenue. Build cost: $5-8K. Works especially well for apparel, beauty, and home goods where consideration cycles are longer.

The stacking strategy
Don't try to build all 5 at once. The compounding advantage comes from sequencing them right. Here's what we recommend:
Month 1: Cart recovery
Biggest, fastest ROI. Proves the value of the whole approach and funds the rest.
Month 2: Product Q&A bot
Build it while cart recovery is still running. Lifts add-to-cart rate, which means cart recovery has more carts to recover.
Month 3: Review collection + abandoned browse
Reviews compound over 60-90 days. Browse recovery fills the top of the funnel.
Month 4: Inventory alerts
Last because you need enough traffic + inventory turnover data to make it worthwhile.
D2C fashion brand: 3.2x ROAS on cart recovery alone
