# Recover Abandoned Cart Customers

A done-for-you service where a warm, disclosed AI reaches your own opted-in buyers by voice and text - abandoned carts, checkout drop-offs, lapsed and one-time buyers, back-in-stock and repeat-order nudges - and recovers the carts and past customers who went quiet. Most abandoned carts get one email and then silence. This reactivates your own opted-in buyers, never a cold or bought list. The AI says it is an AI reaching out on your behalf, and anyone who asks to stop is opted out.

## What recovering quiet carts and buyers means
Recovery is reaching the shoppers who already gave you their details and opted in - added items and vanished at checkout, or bought once and never came back - and helping them finish the order before the intention fades. A buyer who reached checkout and disappeared, then had the single recovery email buried, is not gone. This is not cold outreach to a bought list; it is a helpful, disclosed nudge to someone with an existing relationship with your store, about a cart or product genuinely relevant to them.

## Why recovering your own buyers costs a fraction of finding new ones (sourced)

## How it works
1. You hand us your own opted-in buyers - abandoned carts, checkout drop-offs, and past customers who have gone quiet, the people who already gave you their details and opted in. Your own list, never a bought or cold one.
2. A disclosed AI reaches out by voice or text with a real reason: the cart is still saved, an item is low in stock, or a favourite is back. It says it is an AI reaching out on your behalf - a helpful nudge, not a cold ambush.
3. Orders get recovered and opt-outs get honored. Buyers who want to complete the purchase get sent back to a ready checkout or helped over the line; anyone not interested or who asks to stop is opted out and noted.
4. You get the recovered orders and a cleaner list. Each contact returns a recording or a thread, an outcome, and an updated record, so your buyer list goes from a pile of stale cart events to a living list of customers you actually re-engage.

## Which quiet buyers are worth reaching
The opted-in ones with a real, timely reason to complete an order:
- Abandoned carts and checkouts - a warm nudge that reminds them the cart is still waiting and sends them back to finish.
- Lapsed and one-time buyers - turns a single order into a repeat one.
- Back-in-stock and restock nudges - turns a saved intention into a completed order at the right moment.
- Subscription and repeat-order recovery - brings back recurring revenue you had already earned once.

## Warm and disclosed vs cold and deceptive
- We reach only your own opted-in buyers, never a bought or cold list.
- The AI discloses that it is an AI, on your behalf; we never claim it is indistinguishable from a person.
- Opt-outs honored on the call or in the reply and logged; do-not-call registries scrubbed before anyone is contacted.
- Every call and text recorded and logged; a licensed person on your team handles anything that needs a human.
- Your team stays on orders and fulfillment instead of chasing strangers.

## Is calling and texting your own buyers compliant?
We build every campaign around a clear safe list rather than loopholes: only your own opted-in buyers, the assistant discloses it is an AI, opt-outs honored on the call or in the reply and logged, lists DNC-scrubbed first, every call and text recorded, opt-in-first under EU rules, and a licensed person handles anything that needs a human. One thing we will not tell you: that a past purchase by itself makes an automated call or text legal. It does not - consent and disclosure still apply. That honesty is the point: warm and disclosed beats cold and deceptive, every time. This is general information, not legal advice.
