Welcome Series Setup and Best PracticesTutorial

What Is a Welcome Series Flow and Why Use One?A welcome series is a sequence of emails sent directly after someone signs up to hear from your brand. This is a critical moment in the customer lifecycle because it's your opportunity to introduce new, interested prospects to your business and product offering. With a welcome series, you should strike while the iron is hot and capitalize on this display of interest.A welcome series is crucial email automation, and Klaviyo provides a pre-built welcome series out-of-the-box.

If you want a more advanced welcome flow, you can browse different ideas in our Flow Library.How Does a Welcome Series Flow Work?Unlike many other recommended flows, a welcome series is a list-triggered flow. Whichever list you choose should be the list that new subscribers are added to when they sign up. There are four key ways that new contacts can be added to a list to trigger a welcome s

Signup Form Best PracticesTutorial

When editing your forms in Klaviyo, you’ll find several customization options for display and targeting located within the Behaviors tab:Display Timing: Setting a loading or scrolling delay creates a better experience for your visitors that’s both less intrusive and disruptive. Exit intent forms in particular have been shown to perform really well for this reason, and combining this behavior with a delay will ensure that your messaging reaches those visitors who have spent a decent amount of time on your site just before they go to leave. Display Frequency: It’s a good idea to hide forms from visitors who have already provided the information requested, but in the case where someone closed a form without submitting it, you can set the form to show again for that person after a certain number of days, when they may be more willing to subscribe.Devices: This is where you will choose which devices your form will appear on. Very often you’ll find you need to create a mobile-only version of

How often do segments update?F.A.Q.

Segmentation is one of the most powerful tools in Klaviyo! Segments update automatically and immediately.Once you create a segment, it will pull in customers that meet the definitions you set from anywhere in your Klaviyo account – this is why it’s important to confine a segment to a specific list if you’re using it for campaign targeting. Otherwise, you risk sending to people who have not opted in to receive your marketing messages!There are two exceptions to be aware of when discussing how often segments update: Segments that rely on relative time conditions, which are only true after a certain period of time (i.e. purchased from an email at least 5 days ago) - these types of segments update every 24 hours instead of real-time. Segments that rely on all “negative” conditions (i.e. everyone that is not in several specified lists) - these types of segments may update with a slight delay. If you’re new to segmentation and want to learn more, check out our guide!

It's great to be here.

Hi everyone,My name is Peter Johnson from Orchids In Print.My business is based around my hobby of growing orchids. Over the years I have built a library of photos of orchids that I have bloomed, so I decided that we could create an e-commerce business by adding the orchid images with their names to products and offer them for sale.They are aimed at people who love and enjoy orchids. I have used other quality email marketing systems, however, I am finding the fact that Klaviyo has been developed purposely for e-commerce an absolute bonus.I look forward to working in this community.One thing I would like to know is, are there store owners who’s target market is 35yrs to 65+yrs?Hope you are al having a great week,Peter

SMS Strategy That Isn't Sales or Discounts

Hi Community! SMS has become a marketing tool that a lot of e-commerce brands know is important to their communication strategies, but they struggle with understanding how to communicate effectively through SMS. Sending out a promotional SMS each time that you have a sale launch on your website is a good starting point, but in today's marketing landscape, creating a relationship and trust is vital to the longevity of your brand. Luckily, SMS can be a great way to support that! These are my go-to strategies I’ve created for clients who want to integrate SMS into their Klaviyo account, but want to expand their strategies outside of discounts and sales. There’s more to SMS than just welcome flowsOne of the very first SMS messages most brands set up is the go-to welcome offer. Sadly, their SMS communication usually goes dark shortly after that. Instead, what you should aim to do is create messages that connect, educate, and inspire your subscribers to click through the attached link back
