Recommerce Marketing and Customer Communications: Commerce OS, CDPs, SMS, and Email

Recommerce communications that build long term relationships

In recommerce and rentals the relationship spans discovery, booking, handover, return, repair, and repeat purchase. That requires reliable transactional messages and thoughtful lifecycle marketing across email, SMS, and WhatsApp without overwhelming customers.

What your commerce OS should handle

  • Transactional email and SMS for confirmations, reminders, pickups, and returns.
  • Editable templates aligned to brand, taxes, and local terms.
  • Order timelines linking messages, waivers, and receipts for auditability.

When to add a CDP or email provider

  • Advanced segmentation by spend, frequency, and product interest.
  • Cross channel journeys and experiments triggered by real events.
  • Retention, win back, and review requests with clear consent.

Best practices

  • Centralize triggers so multiple tools do not send duplicates.
  • Unify identity, consent, and opt out across channels and brands.
  • Route by urgency and cost email for rich content, SMS for time critical updates.
  • Measure deliverability and reply handling for SMS and WhatsApp.
