Swym Wishlist Price Drop – Help shoppers make use of your seasonal markdowns

Many shoppers add items to their wishlist with the intent to purchase later—often waiting for a price drop. By integrating Swym Wishlist Price Drop Alerts with Yotpo Email & SMS, brands can send timely notifications to convert hesitant shoppers into buyers. These alerts create urgency and excitement, driving sales while offering a personalized shopping experience.

Understanding the target audience

Effective price drop alerts rely on understanding the motivations of different shopper segments. Here are the key audiences that benefit from these alerts:

First-Time Purchasers

  • Who They Are:
    Shoppers who have never made a purchase but have shown interest by adding items to their wishlist.
  • What They Need
    A compelling reason to make their first purchase, such as a price drop combined with a first-time buyer discount.
  • Messaging Strategy
    Emphasize trust factors (easy returns, quality assurance), urgency (limited stock), and incentives (extra discounts for new customers).

Repeat Purchasers

  • Who They Are
    Customers who have purchased before and are likely to buy again when they see a price drop on a wishlisted item.
  • What They Need
    A feeling of exclusivity and appreciation, making them feel like VIPs with early access to deals.
  • Messaging Strategy
    Personalize emails with loyalty-focused messaging (e.g., "As a valued customer, you're the first to know!"). Highlight urgency and provide product recommendations based on past purchases.

Swym Setup: Enabling Price Drop Alerts

To activate price drop alerts in Swym:

  • Go to the Swym application settings in your store admin.
Wishlist Plus Settings
  • Scroll down to Price Drop Settings.
  • By default, the second setting sends a price drop alert when the price decreases by 10%. You can customize this threshold to any percentage that fits your strategy. Adjust the default trigger percentage (e.g., notify when the price drops).
  • This triggers an event in Yotpo to send email/SMS notifications.

Where this data can be used

  • Email Automation (via Yotpo Email)
  • SMS Notifications (for instant reach)

Email & SMS Best Practices

Email Best Practices

  • Keep Subject Lines Short & Impactful
    Aim for under 50 characters to grab attention. Example: "Your Wishlist Item is Now on Sale!"
  • Use Personalization
    Address the customer by name and dynamically insert wishlist items to make the email feel tailored.
  • Create Urgency
    Phrases like "Hurry! Limited Stock Available" or "This Deal Won't Last" encourage quick action.
  • Clear & Strong CTA
    Place a clear call-to-action (CTA) button above the fold (e.g., "Shop Now at the New Price").
  • Mobile-Optimized Design:
    Use a single-column layout, high-quality images, and large CTA buttons for mobile users.
  • A/B Testing
    Test subject lines, CTA placements, and discount formats (e.g., percentage vs. flat amount) to optimize conversions.

SMS Best Practices

  • Be Concise
    SMS messages should be under 160 characters to ensure readability and impact.
  • Include a Shortened Link
    Use a URL shortener to keep messages clean and encourage immediate clicks.
  • Use Emojis Sparingly
    Emojis can enhance engagement but should be used strategically (e.g., 🎉 for excitement, ⚡ for urgency).
  • Personalization Matters
    Include the customer's name and specific wishlist item details to increase relevance.
  • Drive Immediate Action
    Use phrases like "Act Fast!" or "Stock is Running Low!" to create urgency.
  • Timing is Key
    Send alerts when customers are most likely to engage (e.g., early evening or during peak shopping hours).
