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.

Klaviyo Email & SMS Marketing in Singapore
Klaviyo built as a retention system for a brand whose list spans four countries, four currencies and four sets of consent rules.
Delivered remotely for brands across Singapore and Singapore.

Why Singapore brands come to us for this
- Explicit, documented SMS consent and sender ID registration handled before a single message goes out to Singapore numbers
- Flows and campaigns segmented by market, so currency in the email matches the currency at checkout
- Festive calendars built around Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali, sent to the right segments rather than the whole list
- Replenishment flows timed to actual consumption — how fast a household drinks a 250g bag of coffee, not a generic 30-day guess
- Marketplace buyers converted into owned-list subscribers, so Shopee and Lazada become acquisition rather than the whole business
Retention is where a Singapore brand escapes the marketplace trap. Every order you win on Shopee or Lazada belongs, commercially, to the marketplace — you rent the customer for one transaction. The list you build on your own store is the only asset in the business that compounds, and in a market with high spend per head and a small population, the difference between a customer who buys once and a customer who buys four times a year is roughly the difference between a business and a hobby. That makes owned channels less of a nice-to-have here than in a market where you can simply buy more new customers.
Most accounts we inherit are running four flows built at launch and never reopened, a segment called everyone, and campaigns sent on a Western calendar. The rebuild is mechanical: eight to twelve behavioural flows covering the moments that actually matter — welcome split by acquisition source, browse and cart abandonment, a post-purchase sequence that teaches the product, replenishment timed to real consumption rather than a round number, winback, and a VIP track. RFM segmentation so a three-time buyer never receives the first-order discount. Deliverability monitored properly, because a suppressed-heavy list sending to four countries degrades quietly.
The multi-country layer is what makes this different from a domestic Klaviyo build. Currency in the email has to match the currency the recipient will be charged, or your abandoned-cart email quotes a price the checkout contradicts. Shipping and returns language differs per market. Festive campaigns are not universal — Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavali matter to overlapping but different parts of your list, and sending the wrong one to the wrong segment is worse than not sending. We build the market and locale properties into the profile from the start so all of that is a segment condition rather than a manual export.
Local context
SMS here is a regulated channel, not a spare send
The single biggest difference between running Klaviyo out of Singapore and running it out of a US market is that SMS is not something you simply switch on. Singapore operates a Do Not Call regime under the Personal Data Protection Act that governs marketing messages to local numbers, and alphanumeric sender IDs have to be registered with the Singapore SMS Sender ID Registry or the message can be delivered flagged as likely scam — which is a worse outcome than not sending at all. So we treat SMS as a consent and infrastructure project before it is a marketing channel: explicit, documented opt-in captured separately from email, sender registration handled before the first campaign, suppression rules that respect the regime, and messages reserved for the two or three moments that genuinely justify a phone buzz. Across the border the rules and the channel preference change again — WhatsApp is the dominant messaging habit in Malaysia and Indonesia in a way it simply is not in the United States — so we set the messaging mix per market rather than exporting one playbook across the region. Where a compliance question needs a lawyer rather than an agency, we say so.
Scope
What Klaviyo Email & SMS includes
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Singapore 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 Singapore store
We do not work off a rate card. Every Singapore 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)

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.”

Verified client, 2025FAQ
Klaviyo Email & SMS in Singapore — your questions
Yes, but not casually. Singapore's Do Not Call provisions under the PDPA govern marketing messages to local numbers, and alphanumeric sender IDs need to be registered or your message can arrive labelled as a likely scam. We handle consent capture, sender registration and suppression logic as setup work before any campaign, and where the compliance question is genuinely legal rather than operational we will tell you to ask a lawyer rather than guess.
Same cadence, different content in several places. Currency, shipping timelines, returns wording and festive relevance all differ, and an Australian subscriber receiving a Chinese New Year hamper campaign priced in SGD is a small but real trust cost. We keep one campaign calendar for planning sanity and branch the content by market segment, which is far less work than it sounds once the profile properties are set correctly.
Through the package and the product, since the platforms will not hand you contact details. Insert cards with a genuine reason to register — warranty, a refill reminder, a bundle only available direct, roast or batch information — plus QR codes that land on a purpose-built page rather than your homepage. It converts a modest single-digit share of orders, which sounds small until you compound it across a year of marketplace volume.
For Malaysia and Indonesia it very often is, because it is where those buyers already read messages, whereas Singapore behaviour is more mixed. The trade-off is that it sits outside the tidy Klaviyo reporting picture and needs its own consent handling and its own tooling. We set the channel mix per market and keep the measurement consistent, rather than assuming one messaging habit covers the region.
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.
