HubSpot-Driven Event Retargeting & Abandoned Cart Recovery Guide

Closing the Loop on Abandoned Checkouts

Industry data shows that 60-70% of users who start a checkout process will not complete it. In the event world, this is often due to a lack of travel approval or simple distraction. This guide teaches you how to bring them back using HubSpot.

Step 1: The 'Intent' Tracking Pixel

Ensure your HubSpot tracking code is active on your Tixified checkout page. Create a 'Page View' event that triggers when a user reaches the checkout URL but does NOT reach the 'Thank You' success page.

Step 2: The Recovery Email Sequence

Do not just send one email. Send a strategic 3-part sequence over 48 hours:

1. The Helpful Reminder (Hour 1): "Did life get in the way? We've saved your spot for [Event Name]. Complete your registration here."
2. The FOMO Boost (Hour 24): "The speaker list for [Event Name] just grew! See who's joining us and don't miss out."
3. The Final Incentive (Hour 48): "Last chance to secure your current price. Use code COMEBACK for 5% off (optional)."

Step 3: CRM Cleanup

It is vital to stop these emails the moment a purchase is made. Tixified's real-time HubSpot sync updates the contact record the millisecond a transaction clears, automatically removing them from the recovery workflow.
