Your first challenge should you choose to accept it: Audit your deliverability
Auditing your Klaviyo account is always a good idea, but taking early action to analyze your Klaviyo account setup allows you time to identify gaps, test new strategies, and optimize in time for a successful holiday season. Your sender reputation is crucial for landing in the inbox during BFCM. Complete the following 3 steps to enter the BFCM challenge and start earning points to win!
Step 1: Complete an audit of your deliverability health
- Confirm deliverability health—use the Benchmarks feature in-app to observe performance relative to your peer group and industry
- Can also use our comprehensive benchmarks by industry guide
- Metrics to pay attention to include:
- Open rate*
- *Keep in mind iOS15 adoption increase!
- Click rate
- Bounce rate
- Unsubscribe rate
- Spam complaint rate
- Open rate*
- Learn how many subscribers are using the Apple Mail Privacy protection feature by building a segment to identify those users
Step 2: Make a plan for improvement before BFCM
Do…
- Build out L30, L60, L90, and L180 engaged segments
- Start sending campaigns to these smaller, more engaged segments
- Clean your main list by manually suppressing contacts who have not engaged in 365+ days
- Prep for holiday sends to larger groups of subscribers by following this Sending Guide* from the Klaviyo deliverability team
Don’t…
- Continue sending campaigns to your full, unsegmented subscriber list
- *Note: we do not encourage sending to all opted-in subscribers! “Full List” should exclude invalid emails & extremely unengaged profiles (365+ Days unengaged)
- Resend every campaign to non-openers unlikely to engage as this will likely hurt your sender reputation
- Pick your spots to use this strategy, and monitor performance closely!
Step 3: Share your findings and plans for improvement in the thread below
- What areas of opportunity did you identify in your audit?
- What steps will you take to improve your deliverability before BFCM?
- If your deliverability is already in great shape, what did you identify as the leading factor for success?
