Klaviyo is the best choice for your ecommerce email marketing service provider as it's built specifically for merchandizing product portfolios over the lifetime of a customer. Especially if you are using an ecommerce platform for which they have 1-click integration package, like Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento you should look no further.
I've been using Klaviyo a lot for a variety of ecommerce stores and know it inside out. I'm also part of the exclusive invitation-only Klaviyo Partner program.
(Don't have a Klaviyo account yet? You can create a free account here to get your feet wet.)
Here's an example of a pre-purchase welcome nurturing sequence in action.
Check the attached image and start from the bottom – you'll see how a new email subscriber is finally converted after an initial abandoned cart event by capturing the email address via a website popup and following up with a welcome nurturing sequence and a targeted special offer. That’s the magic of email automation!
(And by the way, I recommend using Justuno to create your popups.)
“Just have to tell you Miikka..... you’ve turned the office into panic-mode with the number of orders we’ve been receiving. And I’m very thankful for it. 🙏👏🙌😂 ...and we’re a day past Cyber Monday! Unreal...”
““I must say your customer service email follow up is some of the best I’ve ever seen. I am in sales and my company does upwards of $60 million per year, but I can only hope to model your system in the future. Bravo””
““I chose your company because of your emails. The story you told me about your beginnings was inspiring and I’ll be stealing your methods.””
“I’m so glad I found Miikka. From the start, it was clear Miikka knew his stuff. Fact is, everything he did was beyond the scope of what we thought, and beyond out ideas in terms of ROI. We started with Klaviyo (Email system) but didn’t understand exactly how to link it to our sites and get the Email flows queued. That said, developing a series of ‘flow’ Emails is not just a matter of technically setting them up - it involves a patient process of analyzing the business, the products, the customers, etc. It’s the CONTENT of the Emails and WHEN they are delivered that makes a huge difference. Miikka set-up a number of Email flows including a very valuable welcome series.
In my opinion, Miikka is as much a professional storyteller as he is excellent with the nuances and technical side of digital marketing.
Since writing and implementing our flows, we can clearly see the ROI from his work. And most importantly, our customers are now exposed to a side of our business that didn’t exist prior - that is, personalized Emails that tell a brilliant story about our brand, new products, etc. All tastefully crafted and scheduled in perfect harmony with a customers curiosity. We’ve even had people respond to the Emails saying they can’t wait for the next one! Go figure!
My experience with Miikka was far more than a business transaction. This man is truly a remarkable marketer on many levels, and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to anyone. Thank you, Miikka!”
““The ‘New Customer Thank You’ is brilliant! I feel like you really get our brand and sincerely appreciate your copywriting. I love how you are able to pull it from other areas and tie it all together so nicely.”

““The newsletters in the beginning after I bought it made me feel supported and close to the staff and community. Thank you!””
““I just want to say I f***ing love these emails. I’m going to make a drip campaign like this for us. I just ordered our first set.””
““Your marketing is borderline aggressive/genius. I run [business removed for privacy]. You have my $200...what’s your direct number?”

Below are my two packages for Klaviyo ecommerce email marketing setup (we can discuss about customized approaches as well depending on your needs):
1) KLAVIYO ECOMMERCE ESSENTIALS
2) KLAVIYO ECOMMERCE ADVANCED
I can setup flows and triggers in Klaviyo while you provide the content, or I can do copywriting for some or all of the messages as well.
KLAVIYO ECOMMERCE ESSENTIALS
Get your email automation engine implemented following the leading best practices – once set up, this is your sales engine running for days, months and years.
Your tireless email sales engine
INFRA AND ANALYTICS HEALTH CHECK
I always start by going through the Google and Facebook analytics/tracking code placements and making sure they are correctly set up (quite often there are script copy-paste errors and other misconfigurations, multiple tags etc.). Having accurate data is the starting point for all marketing actions. I also check you email domain authentication, which very often isn't correctly set up and may be affecting your deliverability.
VERIFY KLAVIYO EMAIL SETUP
- Make sure your store is properly integrated with Klaviyo
- Make sure all your store email integrations go to Klaviyo (and into the right list)
- Modify all templates to look awesome & match your branding
- Style the update email preferences pages and forms to match your branding
- Move to single opt-in without email confirmation if preferred
EMAIL CAMPAIGNS FOUNDATION
- Clarify the brand voice for emails
- Identify design needs (Graphics design using your existing images and brand assets is included)
- Create detailed customer segments for subscribers&buyers
- Set up everything to get ready for sending recurring newsletters including checklist process
- You'll get an email strategy spreadsheet for keeping track of all messages, timings, content and coupons, as well a yearly calendar for planning campaigns around and templates for tracking your broadcast campaign KPIs.
PRODUCT REVIEW EMAIL AUDIT
I'll also make sure your review emails (which might come from another tool like Yotpo or Stamped.io) are in sync with the Klaviyo sequences and recommend changes to copy as needed.
EMAIL CAPTURE - POPUPS AND SIGNUP FORMS
The entry point to your email engine/funnel - I'll design a popup that's displayed to your visitors to entice them to sign up, building your subscriber base and nurturing them until they order and become a customer. This connects to the Newsletter Welcome Sequence.
NEWSLETTER WELCOME SEQUENCE (Pre-Purchase Nurturing)
Automatically sent when someone signs up to the email list (but haven't purchased). This sequence nurtures the new subscribers and inducts them into your brand and what you stand for, using storytelling and content related to the problems or challenges your offering solves. The subscribers learn about what makes your products/services unique and special, and ends with a special offer sequence to maximize conversions.
POST-PURCHASE UPSELL & NURTURING SEQUENCE
Triggered after the customer completes checkout. Includes brand story introduction for new customers, pre-arrival material/excitement, asking for feedback or review, collecting social proof, and a cross-sell offer.
CART ABANDONMENT SEQUENCE
Designed for conversion: surface problems or questions your prospects might have and present offers the right way to maximize conversions.
WINBACK CAMPAIGN
Reminder & special offer emails for getting the previous buyers back shopping to boost revenue. Best thing is – we don’t need to wait for results, we can grab the past buyer data and instantly & automatically get them scheduled for this!
KLAVIYO ECOMMERCE ADVANCED – EXTENDED FUNNEL
Even more comprehensive and future-proof automation system that helps you create a deeper connection with your audience and most importantly – sell more. Get all the best practices and special ninja tactics in place to boost your growth and community. I'll design the perfect sequences for your business & brand.
LONGER AUTOMATED EMAIL SEQUENCES, VIP CUSTOMERS & ADVANCED CROSS-SELL
Personal ‘Repeat customer thank you’ note and other very powerful additional messages like Net Promoter Score survey (fully integrated with Klaviyo), video review request, advanced cross-sell offers, automated winback emails over longer period of time and longer brand induction/intimacy series.
SEGMENTED ABANDONED CART FLOW
A multi-day sequence with special offers, taking into account the cart value to add extra incentive for high-value carts to return and place the order.
KLAVIYO ORDER RECEIPT UPSELL
I'll set up order receipts via Klaviyo, so that the recipient gets the line item breakdown with images, list of discounts, taxes and other items, AND "You might also like..." product recommendation block in the same email. Optionally also a coupon for the next order for the first time buyers or everyone. (There are other Shopify apps that offer this like Conversio (prev. Receiptful) – but you can do this with Klaviyo directly, no need to pay for & setup additional services)
SHOPIFY ORDER NOTIFICATION EMAILS UPDATE
If your Shopify order notifications emails are not already stylishly branded or mobile compatible, let's match their look&feel with the Klaviyo marketing emails. Also I'll review that esp. the order confirmation email includes answers to most common support questions.
EXIT INTENT OFFER POPUP
Add also exit intent popup displayed if the visitor is about to leave. Show e.g. a % discount as incentive. Can consider also a cart abandonment popup which triggers with a special message if a customer with something in the cart tries to leave.
PRE-PURCHASE BROWSE & CART ABANDONMENT
Set up follow-up/offer sequence if an existing subscriber browsed a product multiple times, but didn't buy or initiate a checkout. Or added items to cart without going to checkout.
PRODUCT REVIEW EMAILS AUDIT & OPTIMIZATION
Auditing, copywriting and coordinating emails sent by an external product review tool such as Yotpo or Stamped.io to maximize your chances of getting brilliant customer reviews that help you boost sales.
SUNSET LIST CLEANING FLOW
The unsexy yet crucially important part of email marketing is keeping your list healthy and responsive. It’s not fun to let go of your subscribers, but the inactive contacts must go. Good news: this can be mostly automated, and better yet so that you can try to reactivate and salvage as many subscribers as possible.
KLAVIYO FACEBOOK AUDIENCES SYNC SETUP
Let’s also get the most important subscriber and customer segments syncing automatically to Facebook, so that you can use them for ads targeting and building lookalike audiences.
KLAVIYO AUTOMATED PRODUCT FEEDS SETUP
Set up Klaviyo product feeds for all main product categories so that those can be used in automated and campaign emails to automatically pull trending and best-selling products from your store (excluding the ones the customer has bought already).
Additional option: MIGRATE FROM PREVIOUS EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDER TO KLAVIYO
There's typically no need to keep your previous account like MailChimp (and trying to keep unsubscribe data in sync is difficult/impossible) so the subscribers should be all imported to Klaviyo. I can manage the migration of all customer data and possible segments and other metadata for you.
GET MY BEST ECOMMERCE EMAIL MARKETING TIPS & PROVEN STRATEGIES FOR BOOSTING ECOMMERCE REVENUE
To get on my exclusive newsletter to get my free tips, just answer this question:
When it comes to using Klaviyo, what's the single biggest frustration, challenge or uncertainty that you've been struggling with?
FAQ:
Q: Will you be applying graphic design to all elements including the Welcome Popup, etc. (and also writing effective, well converting copy for these items)?
A: I do graphic design for email templates and popups using existing brand logos & images. I highly recommend and use modern simplistic email style where the main focus is on engaging and well-converting message. One message, one objective.
Q: Seems like a lot of emails, is the same person going to receive all of them?
A: The flows (sequences) are trigger-based (we'll get into specifics when starting to work together). In some flows, everyone goes through the flow, but some of the emails may be only sent once (like brand "induction" messages), while some are sent every time or periodically (like review/feedback requests and cross-sell offers). From some sequences people are pulled out if they take a specific action (and entered into another flow). It's possible to add also other conditions of course.
Q: How about the order confirmation, shipping update etc. emails that Shopify sends, are those modified as well?
A: The "transactional" emails i.e. order&shipping status emails come directly from Shopify so they're separate from these emails coming from Klaviyo. As part of the Advanced package I can also update the Shopify templates so that they have the same brand look&feel as the Klaviyo emails, and make sure they include answers to the most frequent questions.
Q: Is some sort of testing included? Want to do whatever possible to ensure we don’t have surprises later upon launch.
A: The setup is rather bullet-proof, but I won't leave anyone on their own, so I will help oversee that everything is working as intended when the launch happens. Should any fixes be needed they are included, I do stand behind the work in this way also.
Q: Would you be using Klaviyo's built-in popup or another app?
A: Klaviyo's own popup can be used as a welcome popup – it's quick & comes without additional cost, but the limitations include, among others, that it has no exit-intent trigger, no A/B testing capabilities, and using multiple versions for different uses cases is somewhat inconvenient. It works ok for a welcome popup though and can be set to appear only after x number of pageviews, after x seconds, only on certain pages and excluded on certain pages etc.. If/when you have or start to drive more traffic to the site I recommend Justuno as they have the most flexible features and triggers, and it's possible to e.g. do a custom special offer exit intent popup for those who have added something to cart but are about to leave the site ("abandoned cart popup").
““Wow! Very seldom do I work with someone who has the full package of skills - from strategy, to implementation, and even training the client. Miikka is great and I would highly recommend him to anyone!””
““Thanks Miikka, you’re an all star man!””
“Miikka did an outstanding job!
I had very high expectations for Miikka’s work but the final results exceeded my expectations.
Miikka set up newsletter, post and pre-purchase email flows, product reviews and pop-up marketing on our site. He also fixed any minor issues that needed to be fixed and established opportunities as he browsed the different platforms we work with.
He went above and beyond to understand me, the product and our market and created superb email flows to address every need the business has. The emails displayed that Miikka didn’t just brush off on our site’s content but spent a lot of energy and time on exploring all of the available materials, videos, and content.
Before we had even signed off the project, I was already seeing financial results as the emails Miikka created started to generating revenue.
I cannot recommend Miikka highly enough!
I work with a number of contractors to meet the needs of my business but I had never experienced so much professionalism, dedication and commitment.
Thank you! I am looking forward to working together again.
-Vili P.”
