List Growth Rate

Optimised sign-up forms and lead magnets grow the subscriber list consistently, expanding the audience for future campaigns.

The Challenge

Common email marketing automation challenges facing retail & e-commerce businesses.

The store sends weekly promotional blasts to the entire email list with declining open rates because every subscriber receives the same content regardless of their interests.

Abandoned cart emails are either not set up or consist of a single generic reminder with no escalation, recovering a tiny fraction of the revenue left on the table.

Customer acquisition cost keeps rising on paid channels while the owned email channel, which costs almost nothing to operate, is underutilised.

Seasonal sales are the only time emails are sent, missing the opportunity to maintain engagement and drive revenue throughout the year.

Implementation

How we implement email marketing automation for your retail & e-commerce business.

Segment by Purchase Behaviour and Lifecycle

Customers are segmented by purchase history, product category preferences, average order value, purchase frequency, and lifecycle stage (new, active, at-risk, lapsed). RFM scoring drives segment priority.

✓ Tools: Klaviyo, Shopify, Make

Design Lifecycle and Promotional Templates

Branded templates are created for welcome series, post-purchase flows, VIP communications, seasonal sales, new arrivals, and win-back campaigns. Dynamic product blocks personalise content to each recipient.

✓ Tools: Klaviyo, Canva, Shopify

Configure Revenue-Driving Automations

Key automations are built including welcome series, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase cross-sell, replenishment reminders, birthday offers, and sunset flows for chronically unengaged subscribers.

✓ Tools: Klaviyo, Shopify, Make

Optimise Through Testing and Analysis

Campaign performance is analysed by segment, product category, and send time. A/B testing on subject lines, content, and offers drives continuous improvement in revenue per email sent.

✓ Tools: Klaviyo, Google Analytics, Google Looker Studio
