    Klaviyo
    Klaviyo is well suited for email campaigns and SMS campaigns. It is great for automated campaigns including cart abandonment, browse abandonment, welcome campaign, lost customer campaign, loyalty campaigns, product review collection, and more. It is easy to use and easy to set up all of the above as well as pop ups on your website to collect emails and phone numbers for SMS and special campaigns even. We did not feel it was necessary to use it for direct customer communications about their orders but you could use it for that too if you wanted to, keeping in mind you pay per the number of emails you send out (wink wink).

    Best suited: - Merging emails coming from: Facebook leads forms, Unbounce or landing pages forms, Google forms, any other kind of lead generation tool and bundling all that information together for a single user "profile". - Passing events generated in multiple applications by the same user (product selected in web, product discarded in cart, etc) and delivering those events into other applications (like a CRM) Less appropriate: - Reading/updating data directly from segment from a frontend application

    • Multi-platform. Segment has easy integrations in many different web, backend, and app platforms/frameworks. We use the Segment SDK in Android and iOS as well as our node.js backend.
    • Segment is fairly affordable for early-stage companies that are trying out different analytics software. The "developer" plan is free and is suitable for most companies with products that have a small user base.
    • The UI is great! It is extremely intuitive and easy-to-learn, and this made it take very little time to integrate this software into our analytics and marketing workflows.

    Cons
    Klaviyo
    • At times the platform isn't as intuitive as you would like. Take the time to be onboarded and play around in the platform to get the hang of things. Utilize Klaviyo's resources and attend their live training sessions to help navigate the platform and implement best practices they recommend.
    • Can be pricey depending on company and email list.
    • Customization is limited at times. The brand font we utilized on all branded content wasn't available through Klaviyo. Previously we would have to go through the back end to implement our branded font, import our font, or create content on another platform to utilize our font.

    • More and richer sources. For example, MailChimp is a source but the data you get from MailChimp is quite limited. I ended up writing my own scripts to take better advantage of MailChimp's API because Segment's integration was lacking.
    • Better examples on how to set up event tracking. Pageview tracking is easy enough, but it would be nice if they had a sample app and corresponding code for it and showed you, via Git commits, how to add various kinds of events.

    Klaviyo is simply a great solution for e-com email marketing & customer relationship management:
    1. User journey visibility: We can see our clients' customers on their individual user journeys (open email, site visits) to better understand and accommodate your customers.
    2. Flow automation: Creating automated emails that follow up with new leads, those who abandoned carts, purchased.
    3. Email design: So easy to use, and more friendly than some other visual builders that we've used.
    4. Metrics visibility: We can see our clients' metrics very easily and adjust efforts accordingly.

    Usability
    Klaviyo
    The only reason why I did not give it a 10/10 is that it cannot distinguish purchases that came through subscription recharges instead of purchases that were driven directly by email sends. Other than that, the automation qualities, design features, and segmentation options make this an incredible email platform, and I am very happy with it

    Over the period it took us to set up, we kept going back to their enablement team to help us with the setup, and they were always ready and were very helpful in the entire process. Even with their documentation, they took the time out to help us work through the process. We've never had a message/email unanswered for more than an hour on working days.

    MailChimp was adequate for basic email marketing, but Klaviyo offers a far superior experience with its advanced segmentation, automated flows, and deep integration with Shopify. Klaviyo’s behavioral data analysis and A/B testing provide more precise targeting, while its robust reporting tools help us understand customer preferences better. Overall, Klaviyo’s features are more tailored to our needs, making it a more powerful and effective platform.

    We chose Twilio Segment for the good API integration and node resources, I would use Ontraport again, particularly if I didn't have the requirements for API and development/platform integration. Certainly the set up and management is easy and seamless with both the API and the user interface to use depending on circumstances and requirements.

    • we have grown our revenue significantly without increasing our spend. This is critical.
    • retention rate has gone up tremendously with specific campaigns and audience targeting
    • would love to personalize more but we are a small team and struggle to do as much as we could. It would be great to have an account manager who could make account based recommendations

    • Segment has enabled us to get a full view of our front end activity, join it to our back-end activity, and get full visibility into our funnels and user activity.
    • Segment lets us send events to ad tools with a full audit trail so all the numbers line up.
    • Segment also brings data from other sources into our data warehouse, saving our data engineering time from building commodity connectors.
