The brief.
The Latest Scoop sells womenswear from a large catalog with frequent sales. It was running inherited Klaviyo automations alongside its paid ads, with each channel reported on its own.
Our approach.
We rebuilt the Klaviyo flows in two rounds, put a test on every email, added category cross-sell flows and SMS, and ran the campaign calendar. One monthly report read ads, email and SMS against the same store revenue.
A closer look at the work.
Across seven months Klaviyo attributed CA$349,072 to email, 42.9% of the store’s CA$812,896. Flows earned 9 to 16 times more per recipient than campaigns in the two months where both were counted in full.
Reported outcomeMay–November 2021
