How do I set up my very first abandoned cart recovery campaign in Growth Suite?

I've been running my Shopify store for about eight months now, and while our traffic has been steadily increasing, I'm watching potential sales slip through the cracks. Every time I check my analytics, I see a painful pattern: customers are adding products to their cart but not completing purchases. It's like watching money walk out the digital door. I know abandoned carts are a universal e-commerce challenge, but for a small brand like mine, every lost sale hurts. My ad spend is already tight, and I can't afford to keep acquiring traffic that doesn't convert. I've tried generic 'come back' emails, but they feel impersonal and rarely spark action. What I need is a smart, targeted approach that understands why customers are hesitating and gives them a genuine reason to complete their purchase. I want a solution that doesn't just blast discounts everywhere but strategically nudges the right customers at the right moment. Something that feels personalized, creates real urgency, and doesn't make me look desperate. I'm hoping there's a tool that can help me recover these abandoned carts without compromising my brand's integrity or burning through my margins.

First Campaign Success Criteria:

A successful first campaign shows a redemption rate above 10% and at least one recovered order in the first week. If redemption rate is below 5% after one week with meaningful traffic, review whether the discount (try 15% if currently at 10%) or trigger (ensure exit-intent is configured correctly) needs adjustment before making other changes.
