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 built as a retention system for Sydney brands, so the Boxing Day rush becomes a customer base instead of an annual spike.
Delivered remotely for brands across Sydney and Australia.
Australian ecommerce concentrates an unhealthy share of its revenue into six weeks, and owned channels are the only lever that turns that concentration into something durable. A brand that acquires thousands of first-time buyers between Boxing Day and late January and then goes quiet until winter has effectively rented those customers. The flow architecture we build is aimed squarely at that: a post-purchase sequence written for a gift recipient as well as a self-purchaser, a second-order push timed to the actual repurchase interval of your category, and a win-back that fires before the customer has forgotten which brand the parcel came from.
Category rhythm drives the flow design more than any template does. Specialty coffee out of Marrickville has a repurchase cycle you can nearly set a clock by, which makes replenishment timing and subscription rescue the highest-value flows in the account. Skincare runs on regimen logic and a slower cycle, with claims that need to be worded carefully. Swim and activewear live on back-in-stock and size-specific restock alerts, because the sale that gets lost is almost always a specific size rather than a specific style. Homewares is a considered purchase with a long browse-to-buy gap, which makes browse abandonment and a genuine content programme worth more than another discount.
Compliance here is Australian, not American. The Spam Act governs commercial email and SMS: you need consent, you must identify the sender accurately, and unsubscribe requests have to be honoured promptly. That shapes list-growth design — how a popup captures consent, what a wholesale enquiry form implies, whether a competition entrant has agreed to marketing — and it shapes SMS, which we use sparingly and with intent because it is the channel where a mistake is loudest.
A national Australian campaign is not one send — it lands across a country spanning three standard time zones, with some of them observing daylight saving and some not, so an 8am Sydney send arrives before dawn in Perth for much of the year. SMS makes that a real problem rather than an academic one, so we segment sends by state or use local-time delivery for anything time-sensitive. The calendar is equally particular. The retention year is built backwards from Boxing Day: list growth and segmentation work through spring, a pre-peak warm-up that protects deliverability before volume spikes, a peak sequence planned in October and locked in November, and then the part most brands skip — a January and February programme that converts a mass of one-time gift-season buyers into second orders while they still remember you. The end of the Australian financial year on 30 June is a second, smaller moment worth a dedicated campaign for anything a customer might buy through a business.
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Sydney brand’s realities.
Full service detailEight 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We do not work off a rate card. Every Sydney 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.

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.
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.
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.
Monthly flow A/B tests, quarterly lifecycle redesigns and continuous segment refinement as repeat intervals and buying patterns shift underneath you.

~$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.
~$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.
“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.”
