The answer is actually quite simple; not one-size-fits-all.
Every database we work with is compiled of prospects and customers that behave differently. This means the right flow strategy depends on your products, purchase cycles, margins, customer intent and how your audience engages with email and areas like SMS. What works aggressively for one brand could damage engagement and retention for another.
But you need an answer, right? There are some core Klaviyo flows we’d expect almost every DTC brand to have.
- Welcome series
- Abandon card
- Post-purchase
- Win-back
- Back in stock flows
- VIP/loyalty flows
These usually form the foundation of a strong retention strategy.
The real performance usually comes from continuous testing around timing, messaging, segmentation, frequency and deliverability – underpinned by aesthetics too.
The goal isn’t simply to send more emails, it’s to carefully build a tailored automation strategy that increases revenue while protecting the customer experience.
