Nudging abandoned carts
Today
Abandoned checkouts pile up in Printify. Following them up properly means reading each one and writing something that does not feel like spam.
With Flann
“Anyone leave a full basket this week? Draft them something friendly”
Pulling this week's abandoned checkouts from Printify, Flann drafts a short, personal note for each person who has agreed to hear from you, mentioning what they left behind. You review the list and the wording.
What you stop doing: Writing cart reminders one by one no longer falls to you.
Getting today's packing list
Today
Each morning someone opens every unfulfilled order in Printify to work out what to pick from the shelves. Small orders, many clicks.
With Flann
“Packing list for today please”
Adding up the items across every unfulfilled order in Printify, Flann sends you one pick list sorted by product rather than order by order. It changes nothing.
What you stop doing: Opening orders one at a time to build a pick list is finished.
