Growing Pains: Manual Tasks and a Leaky Sales Funnel
About Stylethread Boutique
Stylethread Boutique is a fast-growing online fashion retailer known for its unique, curated collections. With a small, passionate team, they were seeing rapid growth but were struggling to manage the operational demands that came with it.
The Core Problem
The team was spending too much time on manual support and marketing tasks, which limited their ability to focus on product curation and brand growth. Key revenue opportunities like abandoned carts and upselling were being missed.
Specific Pain Points:
- Lost Revenue from Abandoned Carts: Shoppers would add items to their cart and leave without purchasing, with no effective system in place to bring them back.
- Overwhelmed Customer Support: The support inbox was flooded with repetitive questions like "Where is my order?" and "What is your return policy?".
- Generic Marketing: All customers received the same marketing emails, leading to low engagement and missed opportunities for personalisation.
- Low Repeat Purchase Rate: There was no systematic way to re-engage past customers and encourage them to make another purchase.
An Integrated AI & Automation E-commerce Engine
We designed a holistic automation strategy focused on three core areas: converting more customers, automating customer service, and increasing customer lifetime value.
Automated Abandoned Cart Recovery
We implemented a multi-step automated email and SMS sequence. This sequence triggered 1 hour, 24 hours, and 3 days after a cart was abandoned, offering a gentle reminder, social proof, and finally a small incentive to complete the purchase.
AI Support Chatbot & Order Tracking
A website chatbot was deployed to handle the most common support questions instantly. It was integrated with their e-commerce platform to provide real-time order status updates, freeing up the human support team for complex issues.
Personalised Email Marketing Automation
We created automated email flows for post-purchase upselling and cross-selling. For example, a customer who bought a dress would automatically receive an email a week later showcasing matching accessories, increasing the average order value.
AI-Powered "Win-Back" Campaigns
To boost customer retention, we set up an AI-powered system to identify customers who hadn't purchased in 90 days. The system automatically sent them a personalised "we miss you" email with a special offer based on their past purchase history.
Transforming Operations, Driving Real Revenue Growth
The implementation of these automations had a direct and measurable impact on Stylethread's top and bottom lines.
Significant Revenue Boost: The abandoned cart sequence recovered 18% of otherwise lost sales, adding thousands in revenue each month. The post-purchase upsell automation increased the average order value by 22%.
Drastic Reduction in Support Load: The AI chatbot successfully resolved over 60% of incoming support queries without human intervention, allowing the team to focus on providing exceptional service for more complex customer needs.
Increased Customer Loyalty: The personalised "win-back" campaigns and relevant upsell offers resulted in a 35% increase in the rate of repeat purchases from existing customers.
Time Reclaimed: The team saved a combined 15+ hours per week on manual email sending and customer support, which they reinvested into marketing and sourcing new products.

Founder, Stylethread Boutique
"Working with AutoScale My Biz was the best decision we made this year. We were stretched so thin, but their automations for cart recovery and customer support started delivering ROI almost immediately. Our sales are up, our customers are happier, and for the first time, I feel like I'm working ON my business, not just IN it."
