- {{checkout_steps}}: A description of the current checkout process, including number of steps and any known friction points.
- {{product_type}}: The type of products sold (e.g., fashion, electronics, digital goods).
- {{current_strategies}}: Any existing retargeting or email follow-up strategies in place.
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.

- Based on the analysis, propose specific, personalized retargeting strategies (e.g., email, ads) that address the identified patterns.
- Review the checkout process description and list friction points, then suggest streamlined solutions (e.g., reducing steps, adding guest checkout).
