Every audience is different, test to find what works. The best way to understand what resonates with your customers is through testing. By trying different on-site experiences, sports retailers can discover which layouts, images, and messages drive the most engagement and conversions. Data-driven tests help smooth the customer journey and reduce drop-offs.

Win Back Shoppers and Spark Action with Real-Time Campaigns
Feature Spotlight
Recover lost sales with abandoned cart pop-ups. Abandoned cart pop-ups are a smart way to win back shoppers who are about to leave without buying. When timed well, they remind customers of their pending items and offer gentle incentives to complete the purchase, without interrupting the shopping flow.
For example, a pop-up might feature a limited-time discount, free shipping, or a low-stock alert. It could also suggest related products or remind customers of what they viewed earlier, turning missed opportunities into completed sales.
Boost urgency with time-sensitive campaigns. Time-sensitive campaigns drive action by creating a sense of urgency that encourages shoppers to buy now rather than later. Well-timed offers, flash sales, or product launches can tap into customers’ excitement and prompt faster decisions without overwhelming them.
For instance, a sports retailer might use a countdown timer for a weekend sale on running gear or highlight messages like “Only a few left” during limited promotions. These timely nudges help turn interest into immediate purchases.
