Great app. Very easy to use and very easy initial setup. Sms are way more effective than emails in recovering abandoned carts and checkouts. Very responsive developer.
Thanks for the review Mattia. Here are some tips to get even more out of SMS: https://www.loom.com/share/464eaf2d0ecc4efb933f552714774916

Seems they are no longer in business and offer no support anymore, I was a customer for 2 years and now I just get a 504 error when entering the app. Such a shame because this app generated over $500k in revenue for me :(

This app has been a game changer. My customers don't open our emails. But SMS is a completely different beast. Whenever I send a campaign out, I see an instant spike in traffic and sales. I was skeptical of the app's 35X ROAS claim. But we are well above that just by using their templates and defaults.

Update: There was no miscommunication in the email. I checked and verified that winback staff created coupons in my store without permission and sms prompt was on my live site. It is not acceptable to make changes to a business website without permission. —- OVERLY AGGRESSIVE!!! They turned on a feature to our live site which tells customers they will receive 10% off if they provide their phone number. Seriously! They just turned it on and sent us a message afterwards informing us. I have never seen such unprofessional and overly aggressive behavior. The app “appears” effective but didn’t do much compared to what the standard free emails do anyway. I was already on the fence about deleting it and then they had the nerve to implement a 10% sale on my site without my permission!!
We emailed you asking you for permission to turn it on, and we showed you what it would look like. We did NOT turn it on for you! All SMS apps (Postscript, SMSBump, etc) create discount codes on behalf of your store. We do the same thing since but the default is for you to use your own discount codes (or none at all).

I actually really like this app and it has helped us with abandoned sales and as a great check-in with customers after they purchased....BUT you do need to check your responses and text people back. So it's great for customer interaction, but in turn, you also need/want to manually text/re-engage your customers. So it's a new task added to the daily customer service. I am not really sure how it stacks up to other text marketing options but I do know this one is very easy and straightforward. And mainly, I felt compelled to write this review because I was blown away when the developer sent a customized video on my account/sales performance and which settings I should change to make it better. That is something you don't see often. I followed his recommendations exactly and it's working. I added the app to all 3 of my stores (Canada, US, Europe), so I guess I am a mega user. Drawbacks: It would be nice for a little more customization. Right now on the abandoned sales capture, it shows a really distorted version of our logo which I really hate so I'm still working on fixing that. But the text function is a great funnel that works quite well. I would probably rate a 4/5 but with the customized service, It deserves a 5. And who knows, maybe the developer will even read this and help me fix my distorted logo!
Hello Two Wheel Gear, Thank you for your detailed review and valuable feedback! We're glad that our app has helped you with abandoned sales and customer interaction.

Thank you for being a mega user and adding our app to all three of your stores! Best wishes, Gabriel

I love this app, it has really helped my business to grow. I love how it wins the customers back! I was afraid to use the app at first, but I'm glad I did. The customer support is amazing!
Thanks for your review! I took a look at your messages and have a couple suggestions/comments: 1) First, great job replying to your responses. Most merchants just ignore the SMS responses. But I see you're going the extra mile by replying and giving advice to your customers on how to use the products. If you're not already, you can just email-reply to the email notification about the response, and that will get sent off as a text to the customer 2) You're already getting a great ROI, but if you wanted to save some money, you don't need to have product images in all 3 of your abandoned cart messages. The reason for this is that your shopper gets texted from the same number each time. And so they'll see the abandoned product image on the 1st message, and then the subsequent messages can just be text since they'll be in the same thread as the 1st message on their phone. Each product image counts as 2 message credits, so you can save yourself 4 credits if you disable the product image on the 2nd and 3rd abandoned cart message. 3) I took the liberty of cutting down your 1st abandoned cart message, so that it fits within 160 characters. This will save you a message credit :) Hi {FIRST_NAME}, it's Ebony's Beauty Hair&Skin. Still want {PRODUCT}? Get it here {CHECKOUT_LINK} Reply STOP to unsubscribe 4) Finally you're including a discount code in your abandoned cart messages, which is great. It gets automatically populated at checkout for your shoppers that click on the link. However you're not mentioning it in your message. Your shoppers are more likely to click the link if they know a coupon is waiting for them at that link :)

Great app, made me a lot of money. will continue to use this app in the future. very simple to use.
Thanks so much for your review. I hope you don't mind me sharing that the app made $60K for you in the 2 months that you've had it! I wish we can make a case study of how you're using the app because you're obviously killing it with SMS! Regardless I do have a couple suggestions for you to optimize it even further... In addition to what I told you about the product images in your abandoned cart messages, let me also suggest turning on abandoned browsers. Right now you're just messaging people who abandoned a checkout. But the majority of your visitors won't even add to their carts. You can reach these visitors with a mobile popup. It can get triggered after 60 seconds of looking at a product. With 2 quick taps, the shopper can get a discount code texted to them to buy the product they’re browsing. The message is fully customized, so the shopper thinks this you're giving him a discount for this exact product he was considering. And if they don't buy, the abandoned cart message sequence kicks in to remind him of the precise product he was looking at! It's super-effective in getting visitors at the top of the funnel. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you start getting more sales from abandoned browsers than from abandoned checkouts.

This app really worked!!! People are more responsive to text over email for sure. I highly recommend adding this App on top of your current email workflow.
Thank you for your kind review. I just looked at your stats and messages, and sent you the following suggestions to optimize your account: 1) You don't need to have product images in both of your abandoned cart messages. The reason for this is that your shopper gets texted from the same number each time. And so they'll see the abandoned product image on the 1st message, and then the subsequent messages can just be text since they'll be in the same thread as the 1st message on their phone. Turning off the product image for your 2nd message will save you some money :) 2) To save additional money, see if you can keep your 2nd message below 160 chars. For example, if you replaced "Please use code "15OFF" for 15% Off today if you're still interested." with more concise text like "15% off at this link", you'll be under 160 chars 3) I recommend turning on a 2nd winback message. The subsequent winback messages (ex 30 days later) can be used for selling since you're already using the 1st message 1 day after delivery for a followup.

ignore all negative reviews, this app is brilliant and Joe is doing his job at its best! Recommending to try it for free first and I can guarantee it will work well!
Thanks for your review. We only have 1 negative review (from the person below you) who hacked our system to use the app for free for 5 months and is now upset because they're being asked to pay $14/month lol In regards to our conversations, hope your broadcasts with textmagic go well. It's good you were able to find a cheaper alternative for SMS blasts to the UK. We charge $0.08/message for the UK which should get you a very positive ROI if you just used our app for abandoned cart and winback messages. But broadcasts to your entire subscriber list can be tricky when you have tens of thousands of subscribers. Let me know if you have any trouble exporting your subscribers

I recommend this app!! It's beyond my imagination, so many customers come back. And thanks for Joe, a really nice guy.
Thanks for your review. Happy to hop on a zoom call with you if you have more questions :)

I have used this company's other app for Facebook Messenger and really liked the increase in sales from that. I have only had the Winback app for a few days and already have seen a huge jump in income. Not to mention, Joe is great! He is always there to help and will jump on a Zoom call to go over everything you might need. I'm looking forward to what we do after 30 days.
Thanks John :) So pleased to see the app make almost 50 sales for you in just a couple weeks! That's as good as the FB Messenger app when everyone had prechecked status. Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions (ex being able to segment based on collections... we are still working on that one)
