How do I set up abandoned cart discount emails?

I'm struggling to recover lost sales from customers who add items to their cart but don't complete the purchase. My current email strategy isn't converting, and I'm losing potential revenue. I want to create an effective abandoned cart email sequence that includes strategic discounts to entice customers back to complete their purchase. What are the best practices for designing abandoned cart discount emails that actually work and don't come across as desperate or spammy?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Create a multi-stage abandoned cart email sequence with personalized, time-limited discounts. Start with a reminder email after 1-2 hours, follow with a 10-15% discount at 24 hours, and send a final urgent offer with a slightly higher discount at 48 hours.
