What is the first step to create a marketing email for abandoned cards?

To create a marketing email for abandoned carts, the initial step involves establishing the foundational elements of your marketing communication. This means creating a new email within the Marketing Execution module of Dynamics 365 Marketing. By starting here, you're enabling yourself to access a variety of tools and templates designed specifically for crafting effective marketing emails.

Setting up the email first allows you to incorporate specific content and design elements tailored to address the issue of abandoned carts, such as personalized messaging and incentives to complete the purchase. Once the email framework is in place, you can then move on to define your target customer segment, run error checks, and send test emails to validate the overall effectiveness and performance of the message before the final dispatch.

This sequential approach ensures that you have a well-structured email ready before engaging in more advanced tasks, like testing or targeting.
