Hi everyone,

 

My name is Stephanie Masterman and I am a freelance nutrition, health and wellbeing writer. I use Klaviyo as an amazing platform to create engaging and valuable newsletters for my client’s subscribers.

I am passionate about communicating evidence-based information that’s fact-driven and not padded out with waffle and BS!

I work for multiple clients in the health and wellness sector and have only last week transitioned into my full-time freelance role. My business @nutrinoggin is the result of four years’ hard work on evenings and weekends alongside a full-time NHS job in dietetics - so I’m please it has been worth the effort :)

The thing I love most about my role is the constant research and innovation both for myself and within my amazing client’s businesses and wide teams.

Looking forward to some virtual networking and learning from those much more experienced than myself!

 

Thanks for having me, 

Stephanie

Hi everybody!

 

My name is Emela and I work for a family-owned skin care company called goPure Beauty. I’m responsible for email and SMS marketing. Our main goals with email marketing are to convert new customers into repeat customers and to also increase our 60day customer values.

My favorite thing about working at goPure is the working culture and the amount of responsibility I have in my role. Also, we value our customers tremendously and taking their feedback into account in what I do and seeing them benefit from it has been highly rewarding!

I’ve been working in the email marketing/CRM space for over 6 years, but due to the fact that I was working in Europe, I haven’t used Klaviyo until now. I’m super impressed with how much the tool can do and how easy it is to use. However I am a new user, so I do still have lots of questions and that’s why I’m really happy to see this community being built here!

In my free time (and during non-covid times), I love traveling and trying local foods everywhere I go. 

Happy to be here!

Hey all -- happy to be here! You can call me Daphne.

I am handling graphic design and digital platforms for a company that designs and manufacturers residential and commercial products for rainwater harvesting.

What I love most about our company are the products -- what we produce enable people to create sustainable environments. The company hasn’t been in touch with our customers (digitally) for a while so and I am hoping that we can start interacting with them more now that we have Klaviyo.

I have a kitten called Jiji that I rescued from the gutter a few months ago. She is helping me stay sane during quarantine! Aside from Jiji… food, coffee, video games, and working out are some of the many things that keep me busy when I’m off work.

I’m looking forward to learning from all of you! :hand_splayed_tone2:

Hi everyone :wave: ,

I’m glad I’m here to e-meet you all.

 

My name is Isabel, and I’m from a beautiful city, Guimarães, from Portugal. I work at PRIMARIU and I’m account manager for marketing clients. I love to deal with people and help them achieve their goals, both professional and personal. 

At PRIMARIU, we are kinda a small team, and honestly, that’s the thing i love most, because we all are important and we all play a role that makes the difference for our clients.

We start working with Klaviyo a few months ago and I’m loving it. I’m here to know more about Klaviyo and to learn to the most.

Thank you all, 

Isabel :slight_smile:

Hey all! My name is Jessica

I’m passionate about animals, the outdoors, and my community! In my free time, I do everything I can to get outside and stay active.

I’m the Marketing/Communications manager for Fuse Lenses. We specialize in custom made replacement lenses for any name-brand sunglasses! I’m responsible for overseeing all of our communications, including email (which we use Klaviyo for, of course!) 

I love being a part of a small team! Our company has less than 30 employees and our marketing team has around 5. I love the collaboration that happens and the fact that you can see your impact across all channels of the business! I also love working for Fuse because they are so customer-focused, which I think you really need to be to stay relevant and alive in the ecomm space now.

Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from everyone! 

@jgoodin  Welcome to the Community Jessica! We’re so happy to have you here with us, and we’re excited to learn more about Fuse Lenses and your e-commerce journey! We’re always open to feedback and story-sharing, so if there’s any interesting tests you’ve run, or want to share something you’ve learned, please feel free to post in the Show and Tell section!

Hey everyone!

I’m Amanda, chiming in from Victoria, BC, Canada. Currently the Marketing Manager for Abeego. I live at the intersection of customer experience, ecommerce, and partnerships. We’re on Shopify Plus and using Klaviyo too.

I’m passionate about all things food - how to grow, harvest, store, prep and consume. If there’s food, I’m there. Outside of things related to food & work, you’ll find me fishing, hiking, camping, and skiing. 

What I love most about our company is that we’re much more than a food wrap. At Abeego, we’re on a mission to end food waste at home and nourish a world free to do more good collectively than alone. Together we can Keep Food Alive in pursuit of food sovereignty for all. 

Feel free to send me a note if you’re a foodie interested in reducing food waste too!

Welcome Amanda,

Fellow British Columbian here! Born and raised in Abbotsford (now in Toronto).  Loved going to the island. 

Very cool product, my wife and I are starting to be more conscious about wastage (composting, microfiber cloth vs paper towels, meal planning and buying accordingly - not always perfect though).  The avocado video on the hero image is a perfect example of something we face regularly!

My name is Vladimir and I’ve been a true Klaviyo fan for over half a year now. I’m a freelancer helping e-commerce entrepreneurs with their email marketing!


I’m so glad to have Ryan Deiss and Ezra Firestone as my mentors and learn from those legends when it comes to email marketing…

...and I thank all of Klaviyo staff for creating such amazing software that serves me as a stepping stone for my entrepreneurial journey!

I’ve learned so much from their blog and I’ve been helped dozens of times by the amazing support.

All my clients have come from Upwork, and I just recently (2 weeks ago) started an IG account (@ecommercevlad) where I grow as a brand and share all my knowledge and basically everything I know regarding successful email marketing!

My passions are reading (a LOT haha), personal development, space exploration, and artificial intelligence.

As a matter of fact, I believe my purpose in life is to actively participate in space exploration this century. This is my life goal!

What I love most about being an email marketing freelancer is meeting and helping so many like-minded entrepreneurs some of which are just 17,18 and are already making millions with e-commerce!

My short-term goal is to become the biggest and most influential IG account when it comes to email marketing for eCommerce.

I appreciate all of you and I’m so glad to be part of this community!

Much love,
Vladimir

Hi team Klaviyo!

I’m Jen Hansard. I’ve just jumped ship from Infusionsoft (today is Day #1 of migration, actually) and I’m so excited to be here. I am the founder of Simple Green Smoothies, a blog that turned into a business… then into a shopify store. It’s been a wonderful journey of helping people embrace plant-based recipes and feel their best. 

I’m most passionate about our National Parks and spending time in them. Every summer, I take my kids on a month long adventure to explore a section of NP. This past summer (covid summer) we did Yellowstone, Tetons, Glacier, Badlands, Wind Cave and Rocky Mountain). For 2021, we’re doing all of the California parks, which should be amazing too.

 

I also really like to run far. I’m not fast, but I can go forever. Like 62 miles forever— in a day and just applied to the Worlds Toughest Race…. I hope I make it! Haha!

 

I’m a blogger and biz owner who is still learning how to market the awesome brand we’ve built.  I’m obsessed with the protein powder I created for smoothies. It’s the best out there and took 4 years to create— and I’m beyond excited with how many people love it too!

 

Excited to learn from you all and experience the Klaviyo magic sauce. :)

Hey Klavians!

 

I’m Darin and I head up email marketing and design for AdjustMedia.co, a Toronto based agency though I’m right here in Metrowest Boston.

 

I work with a variety of clients in the DTC space and am working on a new SMS Cart Abandonment flow right this very minute. I’m trying to find the checkout started parameter to insert in the SMS but don't see one listed. I  {{ organization.url }}products/{{ item.product.handle }} this from the email flow but am unsure if it’s working correctly in my test SMS. Can anyone advise if this is the correct parameter to use in an SMS?

Thank you!

Hey all!

My name is Djedjy Hill- Djedjy pronounces JG like the letters

Being born and raised in a Third-World Country, I am passionate about self-development. I also love dogs and tennis. In my spare time, I like to keep improving myself in all aspects of life.

I am an Entrepreneur/Marketing Student, through self-learning. I’d love to become proficient at copywriting and marketing in general. I have been using Klaviyo for my email marketing strategies and I absolutely love it. My results so far are all over the place which satisfies my “passion of self-improvement” immensely, knowing there is much more to learn. 

I hope to be able to absorb and learn from all of you as I navigate through this journey, and lastly, I hope to one day inspire others from my native country that it is possible to make something of oneself no matter one’s upbringing. 

Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from everyone!

Hi everyone, 

I wonder if someone will read all these welcome messages :grin: but here it goes.

My name is Omar. I'm passionate about growing online businesses and have been since 2008.

But first things, first. I'm a father of two amazing daughters, loving husband, long-distance runner, an avid reader, salsa dancer, computer geek & simply fun-loving guy. Recently I've also picked up Mountain biking. 

Currently, I'm a co-founder of Polaris Growth, an e-commerce growth agency based in the Netherlands. My expertise is e-commerce growth. That's a broad field to be in, so let me explain my journey in growth.

Starting from a technical background, I was building websites in the late 1990's back when (Microsoft Frontpage was still a thing), had my own ESP for a while and been doing e-mailmarketing from 2008 onwards. Learning about the technical infrastructure was great.

And what about the user experience?
My passion for growth got me into Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) in 2012. Data-driven approach to optimizing systems from a front-end was a whole new world. I've learned a lot and have been actively learning & practicing.

Working as a consultant for cool brands optimizing their conversions & websites, made me look into online persuasion and behavioral psychology. Learning about the way our brain works and how we interact online opened up another world for me. I've been using these principles since 2014.

The final phase was 2017 when I was helping companies optimize for online revenue. Increasing Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) made me come back to where I started: email marketing.

In the beginning of 2020 we (my business partner Ewoud and I) founded Polaris Growth to help e-commerce brands grow their online revenue. I love to combine everything I've learned in online funnels: online persuasion, the technical side of marketing automation and increasing customer lifetime value (CLV).

My expertise:

  • Klaviyo marketing automation specialist
  • Conversion Optimization Consultant
  • E-commerce Growth Specialist
  • Technical things like Google/ Data & Analytics, Tag Manager

The thing I love most about Polaris Growth is two folded.

  1. Personally the energy of working with a business partner combining our knowledge instead of working as a freelancer we're building up an agency and actively growing the team.
  2. The second reason I love about Polaris Growth is our clients and the work we do for them. It's great to see the impact we can make using the owned media channels by understanding the growth levers. Also some of our clients are in the sustainable and healthy (natural ingredients) market which ticks my boxes of helping to make a better world (for my kids to live in).

For those Dutchies on this forum, we've created a couple of interesting resources (in Dutch). 

 

I Just wanted to let you know I’ve read your welcome message :laughing: actually is fun to be back on the forum vibes, as fun as remembering that Microsoft Front Page existed! ahah

As you’re specialized in funnels and email marketing, I wonder if you have a suggestion of any good book, course, youtube channel, etc. that could be interesting for starting taking more advantage on email Flows.

Actually, I’m new at this subject, I really enjoy the psychological and design part of it, but there’s much more! Also, I work at a start up, so we take projects and make them happen by learning, experiencing and improve what needs to be improved, so I could really use some training in Email marketing !

Thanks in advance!

One source I can recommend especially all the courses is CXL (conversion XL). One of the best courses with industry leaders teaching the ropes. This is I think the best place online period.

 

As far as books there are just too many these are about psychology specific

  1. Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman
  2. Decoded - the science behind why we buy - Phil Barden
  3. Made to stick - Heath brothers

As far as useful resources

  1. Cognitive bias list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases
  2. Cognitive bias svg - print it out and stick to the wall… https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cognitive_bias_codex_en.svg
  3. Ezra firestone's smart marketer - https://smartmarketer.com/
  4. Get yourself deeper into RFM - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFM_(market_research)
  5. Checkout @AndriyBoychuk's youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/Flowiumm/

Great to virtually meet you all - my name is Colleen.

I’m passionate about donuts (weird, I know). But in my spare time, and through everything going on with COVID, I love trying new local donut (and coffee) shops. 

I currently work at a CBD startup as a Digital Marketing and Customer Experience Manager.

As with any startup, there’s always a lot going on and multiple hats to be worn. I especially love how much I’ve learned and continue to learn about all things digital marketing, B2C, B2B, website design and creation, operations, etc. Never a day that I’m sitting at my desk wondering what I’m supposed to be doing - it’s awesome! 

Look forward to continuing my professional development by being a part of the Klaviyo community!
