Along with other automated messages like welcome emails, thank you emails, or confirmation emails, an order confirmation email is considered to be not just a formality or a tool to inform your customers about the status of their order. It is also a great opportunity to build a rapport with your clients. Personalization is a great technique that can be used to make your order confirmation email look and feel friendlier.
When to Send Your Order Confirmation Email
This email should be issued when a customer places an order on your company’s website. With this email, you confirm that you have accepted a client's order.
Email itself remains one of the most effective tools used by businesses to maintain a healthy and lucrative pattern of communication with their clients and, most importantly, their returning customers. Order confirmation emails are no exception. They can be used both to serve as a tool to provide your customers with vital information concerning their order and to lay the ground for possible future interaction with your brand.
