Introduction
Klaviyo is not just an emailing tool; it's a powerful intelligent CRM. Thanks to its advanced features, it allows you to automate and personalize your communications. HubSpot (2024) emphasizes that automated emails generate 320% more revenue compared to standard sends.
Paul, one of my clients, perfectly summarizes the impact: "With Klaviyo, we were able to create targeted sequences that build lasting customer relationships."
Why create an email sequence?
Every email is an opportunity: inform, engage, sell. An organic beauty e-commerce client saw her sales skyrocket after deploying a targeted Klaviyo sequence. Litmus (2025) reminds us that 78% of marketers consider automated workflows to be their best ROI lever.
Step 1: Define Objectives
Before any creation, define your precise objectives:
- Prospect conversion → welcome sequence.
- Loyalty → newsletters, exclusive offers.
- Retention → post-purchase follow-ups, reactivating inactive customers.
A client in online fashion, for example, increased their retention rate by 25% thanks to a well-targeted sequence.
Step 2: Create Email Content
Content is the heart of the sequence. Key points:
- Tone adapted to the audience (e.g., a more friendly tone boosted one of my clients' engagement by 20%).
- Storytelling → creates an emotional connection and fosters loyalty.
- Dynamic personalization with Klaviyo (first name, purchase history, product recommendations).
Campaign Monitor (2023) indicates that personalized emails generate 6x more transactions than standard sends.
Step 3: Configure and Schedule the Sequence
Define your triggers (e.g., first purchase, abandoned cart) and schedule your sends based on user behavior. Klaviyo allows for ultra-precise timing.
Expert tip: Base your timings on your open data. One client saw their open rate jump by +25% simply by shifting their sends to the evening.
Step 4: Analyze and Optimize
Continuous optimization is essential:
- Analyze your KPIs (open rate, CTR, conversion).
- A/B test your subject lines and content.
- Refine your segments to maximize relevance.
GetResponse (2024) shows that brands that A/B test their sequences improve their results by 18% on average.
