Reasons why Klaviyo is the best email partner for Shopify stores

 

That’s a big statement right, but I’m not saying it just because we are Klaviyo Elite Partners. We are platform agnostic at PAASE and have worked on most of the leading platforms. They all have their pros and cons for sure. But the Klaviyo Shopify integration is the one we recommend the most. And for good reason.

Customer capture

Once you’ve completed the very simple integration process and configured all the settings on your account, the first thing you should do is make sure that every visitor to your website is given the opportunity to opt in to your email marketing.


Klaviyo is pre-loaded with templates for data capture forms – from embedded ones for your website to easily configurable pop-ups, fly-ins and teasers. You choose what pages these appear on, where on the page, the timing, who it appears to (or doesn’t). You can select from editable templates or create your own from scratch.


Simple segmentation

Once you have visitors opting in on your site, and all that customer data is going into a list, what you need is defined customer segments to target. This couldn’t be simpler on Klaviyo.


You can create segments based on many options; from sign up source, behaviours, actions the customer has taken, purchase history, location proximity and more. The Shopify integration pulls customer activity and purchase history through into Klaviyo, so you can build segments based on what category a customer has viewed, what blogs they have read, previous purchases etc.

Everything is stored in the customer profile and with this kind of data, it’s simple to create personalised emails that drive higher open and click rates. It enables you to set up birthday flows, VIP groups and back in stock alerts for example.

 

Themed templates

Yes, most email tools have some predesigned templates, but these can be difficult to use and even harder to insert your products into them.

 

Klaviyo’s drag and drop builder makes this much easier for anyone who is not keen on spending hours doing lots of coding. It pulls through the main image, product details and price from your Shopify site, and you can configure how you want these to appear. There’s a huge amount of pre-designed, editable templates if creating from scratch is not something you have the capability or the time to do.

Foolproof flows

Klaviyo features some essential automated flows which are ready to use once your Shopify integration is complete. These flows can be email specific, SMS or both.

 

These are very straightforward to use. Set up post-purchase, reviews, upsell and cross-sell, lapsing, sunset flows among others. It is also possible to get your transactional emails, fulfilment updates and subscription updates sent from Klaviyo instead of Shopify for a more seamless and consistent customer experience.

 

For more advanced flows, we would always recommend using an agency to assist so that you can make the most of dynamic content to improve engagement rates. Talk to us about how we can work with you on these.
