More top retailers are sending shopping cart recovery emails, according to recent research, but how do shoppers feel about these emails?

Fully two-thirds of infrequent shoppers (those who shop online less than once a month) did not expect to get any type of reminder email, a figure which dropped to 51% of occasional shoppers (every couple of weeks/at least monthly) and just 35% of frequent shoppers (daily or weekly).
