Klaviyo Retention Marketing

Turn one-time buyers into a
lifetime revenue engine

Most Shopify stores leave 40 to 60 percent of their email revenue untouched. Redefine builds the Klaviyo retention systems that recover that revenue: flows, segmentation, and lifecycle programs your competitors are not running yet.

The retention gap

Your email account is either working or waiting

Every day your flows are not running, buyers are forgetting you. The gap between stores with proper Klaviyo retention and those without is measured in five figures per month.

Old way: without retention flows
  • Batch-and-blast campaigns only
    Same message to every subscriber. Unsubscribes climb weekly.
  • No abandon recovery
    Browse and cart abandons go unaddressed. Revenue walks out the door.
  • Zero post-purchase nurture
    Second purchase rate stalls. Lifetime value never lifts off baseline.
  • Segments based on guesswork
    No behavioral or predictive data. Everyone gets the same offer.
  • Winback attempts ignored
    Lapsed buyers age out of your database with no intervention.

New way: with Redefine Klaviyo retention
  • Behavioral flows triggered by actions
    Right message, right moment. Abandonment, browse, post-purchase, all covered.
  • 7-touch abandon recovery sequences
    Multi-step flows recover 12 to 18% of abandoned carts within 72 hours.
  • Post-purchase lifetime value nurture paths
    Cross-sell, upsell, and replenishment flows that double second-purchase rate.
  • Recency, frequency, and monetary value and predictive segmentation
    VIP, at-risk, high customer lifetime value and new buyer segments built from real purchase data.
  • Automated winback at 60, 90, 120 days
    Lapsed buyers brought back before they are gone permanently.

Client
Merlette
Luxury Fashion DTC
Luxury women's fashion brand selling direct-to-consumer via Shopify. Growing audience but inconsistent email revenue with no automation in place.
Problem
Email was only contributing a fraction of potential revenue. No lifecycle flows existed. Campaigns were sent inconsistently with no segmentation. High-value buyers were receiving the same messages as first-time visitors. Revenue was leaving on every abandoned session without recovery.
Zero automation running at project start

Questions

The reasons people do not buy

Most brands see abandoned cart and welcome flow revenue within 7 to 10 days of go-live. Full lifecycle impact, including post-purchase and winback, builds over the first 60 to 90 days as the segments develop behavioral data. You will have a revenue number attributed to flows before your first monthly review call.

We audit first. If your existing flows have good bones, we optimize them rather than rebuild. If they are template-level builds with placeholder copy and no behavioral logic, rebuilding from your data is faster and produces better results. You get an honest audit in the proposal before any work begins.

The retainer covers all flows (new builds and ongoing optimization), 8 to 12 campaign sends per month with copy and design, monthly performance reporting with a 30-minute review call, list health management, deliverability monitoring, and segmentation maintenance. Copy and strategy are included. This is not a technical-only service.

We handle copy, design, and strategy. You approve before every send. Your team's time is limited to async feedback on drafts and a monthly review call, roughly 2 to 3 hours per week total. You do not need to write briefs, manage revisions, or quality assure deliverability settings.

A three-flow foundation (welcome, abandoned cart, and post-purchase) covers 80% of recoverable email revenue for most direct-to-consumer brands. We can scope and build that as a fixed project rather than a retainer. Submit your brief and we will give you honest numbers on what a foundation build costs and what it returns in 90 days.

Fit check

Who this is built for

Good fit
  • Direct-to-consumer Shopify or BigCommerce brand doing over $30K monthly revenue
  • You have an email list but email contributes less than 25% of revenue
  • No lifecycle flows running or existing flows built from templates only
  • You want email to compound over time, not just run one-off blasts
  • Your team has 2 to 3 hours per week to review and approve, not to build
Not the right fit
  • Pre-revenue brands: you need traffic before retention compounds
  • Business-to-business software companies. Our Klaviyo work is exclusively for ecommerce product businesses
  • If you want campaigns only, no flow builds. We do not separate them
  • Brands that want to build everything in-house with no outside input
