Klaviyo Lifecycle Flow Build
Eight to twelve behavioural flows: welcome, browse abandonment, cart and checkout recovery, post-purchase, replenishment, winback, VIP and back-in-stock, each branched by segment rather than sent flat.

Why Albuquerque brands come to us for this
- Harvest pre-order waitlist built in Klaviyo from June, segmented on last year's heat level and order size
- Shopify POS wired into Klaviyo so market, Old Town and Fiesta booth sales become real profiles
- Replenishment cadence modelled on how fast people actually get through coffee, chile and salsa
- Klaviyo RFM segments so an annual-cycle buyer is never treated like a lapsed monthly subscriber
- SMS reserved for limited batches and harvest cutoffs — the two moments that justify a phone buzz
There is a specific pattern in this market that Klaviyo fixes better than anything else. A customer discovers you in person — a stall at the Rail Yards Market, a Los Ranchos Saturday, a shop in Old Town, a Balloon Fiesta booth in October — buys once, loves it, moves back to Colorado, and never hears from you again. That is not an acquisition problem. That is a capture and lifecycle failure.
The economics make it worse. Because paid acquisition is only efficient for part of the year and the products are heavy to ship, owned channels are disproportionately valuable here. A properly built Klaviyo account can carry a third or more of a New Mexico brand's revenue, and most of the ones we audit sit nowhere near that — the platform is installed, two default flows are live, and nothing else has been touched since setup.
The build is mechanical: capture at every physical touchpoint, RFM segmentation inside Klaviyo so a six-year repeat buyer never receives the welcome discount, and the flows that match how these products are actually consumed and gifted.
Local context
The harvest announcement is the biggest send of your year
Almost every New Mexico food brand has one email that outperforms everything else it sends: the message that says this year's chile is in, here is the heat level, here is the roast, order now. That send has to be engineered in Klaviyo rather than typed on the morning it goes out — a pre-order waitlist collected from June, segmented on last year's heat preference and order size using the Shopify order data Klaviyo already holds, with an SMS layer for the genuinely time-critical moment when a batch is limited. Everything else builds toward it. The other structural opportunity is physical capture. Between farmers markets, Old Town retail, Nob Hill shops and the enormous October visitor volume around Balloon Fiesta, brands here collect more in-person customer contact than their online traffic would suggest, and most of it goes into a paper list or nowhere at all. Connecting Shopify POS to Klaviyo so a market sale becomes a profile with a purchase history attached is usually the single fastest revenue improvement available to a local brand, and it costs almost nothing.
Scope
What Klaviyo Email & SMS includes
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Albuquerque brand’s realities.
Full service detailRFM Segment Architecture
Klaviyo segments built on recency, frequency and monetary value instead of open behaviour, so first-time buyers, loyalists and lapsing customers receive different messages and different offers.
Campaign Calendar
Three to five segmented sends a week, planned a month ahead against your promotional calendar, product drops and inventory position rather than improvised on a Tuesday.
SMS Programme
Compliant list growth, and SMS reserved for launches, back-in-stock and time-boxed offers. Two to four sends a month, because the fastest way to kill an SMS list is to overuse it.
Deliverability Management
SPF, DKIM and DMARC alignment, a dedicated sending domain, a sunset policy and list hygiene, monitored monthly so a reputation problem never becomes a revenue problem.
LTV & Owned Revenue Reporting
Klaviyo revenue as a percentage of total, split by flow and campaign, with revenue per recipient, cohort LTV and a view on what discounting is cannibalising.
Scoped and quoted for your Albuquerque store
We do not work off a rate card. Every Albuquerque engagement starts with a fixed statement of work — named deliverables, named dates, one number — written after we have looked at your store, not before. If a smaller first step would serve you better, we will say so.
Get this scopedHow it runs
From kickoff to results
Klaviyo Audit
Flow inventory, deliverability check, list health and integration review. We also surface the profile and event data Klaviyo already collects that nothing in the account currently uses.
Lifecycle Map
Every customer moment worth a message mapped against real purchase behaviour and repeat interval, then assigned to email, to SMS, or to nothing at all.
Build & Migrate
Flows built, designed and QA'd against live profile data, with legacy flows retired cleanly so nobody receives two versions of the same email in the same hour.
Campaign Cadence
Weekly segmented campaigns with tested subject lines, send times and offer structures. Every send has a hypothesis attached and a segment it was written for.
Optimise & Expand
Monthly flow A/B tests, quarterly lifecycle redesigns and continuous segment refinement as repeat intervals and buying patterns shift underneath you.

Supplements (Subscription DTC)
~$4.2M/yr, 60% subscription revenue, 22 SKUs, US · Shopify Plus (Recharge, Klaviyo)
Monthly subscription churn hit 9.4% and the cancel flow was a single button on a hosted page nobody had touched in three years. Support processed 340 subscription changes a month by hand because customers could not do it themselves. The named constraint: no forced logins. The brand refused to gate account access behind a password reset, which ruled out every off-the-shelf portal.

Food & Beverage (Specialty Coffee)
~$3.1M/yr, 28 SKUs, subscription + one-time, US · Shopify (Klaviyo, Recharge)
A 14-day roast window meant every discount cut into a 41% gross margin that could not be rebuilt. First-order CAC was $52 against a $38 AOV, so the business only worked on the second order and 64% of customers never placed one. The named constraint: no discount deeper than 10%, ever, on any channel.

In their words
Clients on this work
Email 11% → 34% of revenue
“Email was 11% of revenue when we started. It's 34% now. They rebuilt the Klaviyo account from the ground up — half our flows had never been turned on and the segments were basically 'everyone' — and then we argued about send frequency for a solid month. I was convinced five a week would torch the list. Instead of just insisting, they ran it as a holdout. Unsub rate moved 0.09%. I lost the argument and I'm glad I did.”

Klaviyo Email & SMS in Albuquerque — your questions
Shopify POS with email capture at the point of sale, feeding Klaviyo so the transaction and the profile are the same record, plus a QR path to a first-online-order incentive on your signage. The critical part is that the profile carries what they bought, because a person who bought hot red chile powder needs a different first email than someone who bought a coffee bag.
As a campaign with a runway, not a single email. Waitlist collection from early summer, a segmented pre-order window for last year's buyers before general release, heat-level segmentation so nobody gets pitched the wrong batch, and SMS only for genuine cutoffs and limited runs. Sent well, it is usually the highest-revenue day of your calendar.
It is where the entire value is. Annual-cycle buyers are exactly the segment that forgets you without a lifecycle programme, and each recovered one costs you nothing to acquire twice. We build an anniversary and pre-season winback path around the purchase cycle rather than a generic 90-day lapse flow, which fires far too early for this pattern.
Usually the same three things. The flows are the out-of-the-box versions, still offering a first-order discount to people who have been buying from you since 2016. The Shopify POS data is not flowing in, so every market and Balloon Fiesta customer is invisible. And segmentation is by signup date rather than by what someone bought, which means heat level, roast and gift-versus-self buyers all receive the same send. Fixing those three usually matters more than any new flow we could add on top.
Twenty-five to forty percent is the healthy band for most DTC brands. Consumables and subscription categories run higher; considered one-off purchases sit lower. If you are under 15%, the gap is almost always missing flows and unsegmented sending rather than the size of your list.
It is our default, because the Shopify integration goes deeper than anything else on the market: real order and browse events, native profile properties and predictive fields you can segment on directly. We also run Postscript and Attentive for SMS. If you are on Mailchimp or Omnisend we will usually recommend migrating, and we will run that migration.
The first four flows are live inside three weeks and start earning immediately, because they trigger off traffic you already have. The full lifecycle build takes six to eight weeks. Owned revenue share typically moves materially by month three.
