PureBite Co. – MailChimp to Klaviyo Migration
A gluten-free snack brand migrated platforms and saw a 12% revenue increase in 30 days — with a 55% open rate on the lead nurture flow and 43% on abandoned cart.

Background
PureBite Co. produces gluten-free snack bars, co-founded by two brothers. When Elliott reached out, they were running MailChimp — fine for basic sends, but not built for the revenue-driven automation a growing brand actually needs. The brief covered the full scope: strategy, migration planning, project management, and hands-on implementation.
One thing that made this project stand out: the consultant found PureBite on a grocery store shelf before the engagement even started, bought it, and tried it. Loved it. When the product genuinely delivers, email marketing becomes a lot easier to write.

Klaviyo Flow Performance
These are the actual Klaviyo stats from the flows after migration. The abandoned cart numbers alone show exactly how much PureBite was leaving on the table with MailChimp — a 43% open rate and 14% CTR is well above industry average for any ecommerce flow.

Abandoned Cart vs Lead Nurture – Stats Comparison

Abandoned Cart Flow — 43% open rate · 14% CTR

Lead Nurture Flow — 55% open rate · 21% CTR
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Abandoned Cart — Open Rate | 43% |
| Abandoned Cart — Click-Through Rate | 14% |
| Lead Nurture — Open Rate | 55% |
| Lead Nurture — Click-Through Rate | 21% |
| Revenue Increase (first 30 days) | +12% |
What Made It Work
- The Right Platform — Klaviyo gave the segmentation, automation, and analytics muscle that MailChimp simply doesn’t have at this level for ecommerce. The migration itself unlocked capabilities that weren’t possible before.
- A Methodical Plan — Every step was mapped before execution started. No guesswork, no pivoting mid-project — a structured approach run through to completion.
- Two-Way Accountability — The consultant didn’t just build the strategy and hand it over. He held the client accountable to following it too. That shared ownership is what gets results across the finish line.
The Takeaway: Revenue was up 12% within the first 30 days. For a CPG brand selling through grocery and online, that kind of email-driven lift in a single month shows exactly what switching to the right platform — and running it properly — can do.

$34,000+ Revenue in 30 Days with Klaviyo Email Marketing
Klaviyo Email Marketing · Case Study
One month. One focused execution. Klaviyo’s share of total revenue nearly doubled — from 12% in December to 23% within 30 days.
Key Metrics
| $34,000+Total Klaviyo Revenue (30 Days) | $21,000+From Flows | $12,000+From Campaigns | 12% → 23%Klaviyo Revenue Share |
Background
The client was an ecommerce brand focused on customer retention.
When I stepped in, Klaviyo was contributing around 12% of total store revenue. One month after the new strategy launched, that number climbed to 23% — nearly doubling email’s contribution to the business. The $34,000+ total in that single month tells the rest of the story.

The screenshot below is from the client’s actual Klaviyo account at the close of the 30-day period. Flows and campaigns running together, each pulling their weight.

Klaviyo dashboard — $34k+ revenue, 23% of total store revenue across 30 days
The 6-Step Process
- Full Klaviyo Account Audit — Every flow, campaign, segment, and benchmark already in place was reviewed. You can’t improve what you haven’t measured properly.
- Gap & Opportunity Mapping — The audit flagged room for more split testing inside existing flows and uncovered 5 new flows that hadn’t been built yet — all leaving revenue behind.
- Revised Campaign Calendar — Shifted to 2–3 sends per week with a full month planned in advance. A/B testing on subject lines was built in from day one.
- Segmentation Overhaul — A new Hyper-engaged segment was created — high-intent subscribers who tolerate higher send frequency without bouncing off the list.
- Strategy Deployment — Executed using a proven ClickUp marketing template already refined across multiple ecommerce clients.
- Execution — Right designs, right messaging, right segmentation, right split tests — all firing together. Execution is where results actually happen.
A/B Testing – Subject Line Open Rates
Subject line testing was live across every campaign. The screenshot below captures open rate performance across the A/B splits — this is the data that shapes what you write next month.

Key Insight: It’s all about execution — getting the right designs, messaging, segmentation, and split tests firing together. The strategy matters, but what you actually do with it matters more.

How StridePets Gained an Extra 31% in Revenue Through Flows & Email Campaigns
Email Marketing · Klaviyo Case Study
In 2 months, the brand re-engaged potential customers and started selling big – built from zero email infrastructure on Klaviyo and Shopify.

| $1,100Browse Abandonment / Month | $667Abandoned Cart (First 4 Days) | ~$600Avg Revenue per Campaign | +31%Overall Revenue Increase |
The Challenge
StridePets came in with almost no email marketing in place. No flows. No segmentation. No strategy — just a Shopify store sitting on untapped subscriber data. Three core things needed fixing before anything else could happen:
- No foundational flows – zero automated engagement with subscribers
- No audience segmentation – everyone was getting the same message
- No data-driven campaigns – sends were ad hoc with no performance tracking
The Strategy
Klaviyo was integrated with Shopify and an entire email system was built from scratch. Pop-up forms to capture emails, segmented lists for targeted messaging, and seven automated flows covering every stage of the customer lifecycle. Once the flows were producing results, six monthly campaigns were added on top to keep revenue consistent.
Flows built: Welcome · Abandoned Checkout · Abandoned Cart · Browse Abandonment · Post-Purchase · Sunset · Win-Back
Pop-Up Opt-in Form
The list-building engine. A well-designed pop-up hitting 6.5% on desktop and 5.9% on mobile — solid numbers before a single email goes out.
Pop-up opt-in form — 6.5% desktop, 5.9% mobile sign-up rate
Welcome Flow — $14,500 / Month
Three emails over four days. Every new subscriber gets a sequence that introduces the brand, addresses common objections, and gives people a reason to buy. At $7.90 revenue per recipient, this single flow pays for itself over and over.

Abandoned Checkout Flow – $2,400 / Month
These are the hottest prospects — shoppers who got all the way to checkout and left. Three emails over four days, each nudging them back with increasing urgency. $7.03 per recipient. This flow alone could justify the entire email setup.

| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Revenue (first 4 days) | $667.90 |
| Revenue per Recipient | $6.24 |
Campaign Performance
Six campaigns per month running alongside the flows — a mix of proven formats and fresh experiments. Each campaign averaged ~$600 in revenue, not counting promotional or sale-day spikes.

How Strategic Copy, Image Editing & Store Architecture Tripled Monthly Sales on Payhip
CASE STUDY
Project at a Glance
| Project | The Original Recipe Vault — vault.theoriginalrecipe.com |
| Platform | Payhip (custom storefront) |
| Deliverables | Store build, product copywriting, image editing |
| Tools Used | Payhip, Canva, Adobe Photoshop |
| Audience | Busy moms and health-conscious families |
| Result | Sales grew from 11 to ~30 per month — 173% increase |
Project Overview

The Original Recipe Vault is a digital product store on Payhip built at vault.theoriginalrecipe.com. It’s a membership-based library of 28 digital products covering food, nutrition, health planning, and wellness — built specifically for busy moms and health-conscious families who don’t have time to piece things together from 15 different sources.
This wasn’t a template drop and a quick launch. Every page on the store was built from scratch. Every product title, description, and bullet point was written to convert. Every image was edited and formatted to look professional across both desktop and mobile.
The vault sits inside The Original Recipe brand ecosystem and serves as the monetisation engine — the place where the audience’s everyday problems become purchases.
The Challenge
Digital product stores fail for one of three reasons: weak copy, poor visuals, or a store that doesn’t feel trustworthy. Most of the time it’s all three at once.
The vault needed to serve a broad audience — women dealing with ADHD kids, diabetes management, budget cooking, pregnancy nutrition, gut health, and fitness — without feeling scattered. That’s hard to pull off with 28 products on one storefront.
Specific challenges going in:
- No existing product copy — every description had to be written cold
- Product imagery needed to be consistent, clean, and on-brand across all 28 items
- The Payhip store had to be built and configured from scratch
- Products covered completely different topics, so the copy tone had to stay coherent without sounding generic
- The audience doesn’t respond to clinical health language — they respond to straight talk that respects their time
What Was Built
Three things came together to make this work: store architecture, copywriting, and visual design — all handled in one place.
Payhip Store Architecture

Full store setup including product pages, categories, checkout configuration, membership tier, and storefront layout. Everything a customer touches from the moment they land to the moment they download.
Product Copywriting – All 28 Products

Every product title, description, and feature list written from scratch. Each one speaks directly to the person with that specific problem — not a generalised buyer pulled from a template.
Visual Asset Editing
Product images edited and formatted using Canva and Adobe Photoshop. Consistent sizing, brand-appropriate styling, and clean presentation across the entire library — so every product looks worth its price before the customer reads a single word.
The Copy Approach

The copy across this vault was written with one rule: talk to the actual person, not the market segment.
Someone buying the Acid Reflux Food Guide isn’t browsing — they’ve already Googled their symptoms at 11pm and now they want a list that tells them exactly what to avoid. Someone buying the ADHD Life Planner is a grown adult who has bounced off every productivity system built for brains that work differently. The writing reflects that.
No filler. No vague promises. Just: here’s the problem, here’s what’s inside, here’s why it works.
“100 breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes built specifically around the cheapest, most accessible ingredients at your grocery store — that your family will genuinely want to eat.”
— Opening line, Frugal Recipe: 100 Cheap Meals
“The planner for ADHD brains that have failed at every other planner — because those planners were built for neurotypical brains.”
— ADHD Life Planner product description
Every product page followed the same structure:
- Lead with the specific problem, not a vague category
- One sentence that earns the trust of the right buyer and filters out the wrong one
- Feature bullets written as outcomes, not just contents
- No jargon. No assumed knowledge. No clinical distancing.
Product Library at a Glance
28 products covering food, nutrition, fitness, health management, and planning. Price points range from $5 to $47 for standalone products, with a $19.99/month membership for full library access.
| Product | Price | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Frugal Recipe — 100 Cheap Meals | $15.99 | Recipe Collections |
| The Complete Kitchen Library | $47.00 | Bundled Systems |
| Nutrition For Kids | $15.00 | Family Health |
| The Anti-Ageing Diet Secrets | $27.00 | Nutrition + Wellness |
| Pregnancy Diet Plan | $27.00 | Specialist Nutrition |
| Low Carb For Women | $19.00 | Hormonal Health |

| Homemade Dog Treats | $12.00 | Lifestyle |
| 2026 & 2027 Calendar | $11.97 | Productivity |
| Vault Membership | $19.99/mo | Full Library Access |
Results
Sales went from 11 per month to around 30 per month after the store was built, all 28 products were written, and the visual assets were updated. That’s a 173% increase — without changing the underlying products, running any paid ads, or pushing outside traffic.
The growth came entirely from better presentation: tighter copy, cleaner images, and a store that actually reflected the quality of what was being sold.
| Monthly Sales Before | 11 |
| Monthly Sales After | ~30 |
| Total Growth | +173% |
The membership model adds a compounding layer on top. Once someone joins at $19.99/month, their monthly value exceeds the cost of most single products by month two. With 28 products already in the library and new ones added monthly, the membership is the most efficient path to the entire catalogue.
What This Demonstrates
This project shows what happens when store setup, copywriting, and visual design are handled together — not split across three different people who’ve never spoken to each other.
- A Payhip store built and configured to convert, not just to display products
- 28 pieces of product copy written from scratch, each speaking to a distinct buyer with a distinct problem
- Image editing that makes a digital product feel worth its price before anyone reads a word
- A consistent brand voice across a 28-product library covering completely different topics
- Results that came from the quality of the work, not ad spend
Work With Simon
Building a digital product store, launching a vault, or sitting on a product library that’s not converting the way it should? This is the kind of work I do.
Store setup. Product copy. Visual assets. Or all three at once.

That’s why it’s essential to understand how to hire the right freelancer for your business. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to help you find and hire the best freelancer for your needs.
Defining Your Business Needs

The job description should also include information about the compensation and expected timeline for the project.
A well-written job description will help attract the right candidates and make the hiring process easier.

Maximizing Your Website’s Local SEO Potential: A Comprehensive Guide
Local SEO is a crucial aspect of digital marketing, particularly for businesses that rely on foot traffic and in-person interactions.
Optimizing your website for local search engines can improve your chances of appearing at the top of search results when potential customers search for related businesses in your area.
In this article, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide on optimizing your website for local SEO and taking your online presence to the next level.
Key Elements for Optimizing Your Website for Local SEO
1) Accurate Business Information
Ensure that your website includes accurate, up-to-date information about your business is essential for local SEO success. This information should include your business name, address, phone number (NAP), and business hours. It is important to ensure this information is consistent across all platforms and directories. Inconsistent information can confuse potential customers and negatively impact your local search ranking.
2) Claim Your Google My Business Listing
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool offered by Google that allows businesses to manage their online presence across Google, including search and maps.
By claiming and verifying your GMB listing, you can improve your website’s local SEO. Make sure to include as much information as possible on your GMB listing, such as business categories, photos, and customer reviews.
This will give potential customers a comprehensive understanding of your business and can help improve your local search ranking.
3) Focus on Relevant Keywords
Incorporating relevant keywords into your website’s content and meta tags can help improve your local search ranking.
For example, if you’re a bakery in Los Angeles, include keywords such as “bakery in Los Angeles” and similar phrases throughout your website’s content and meta tags.
This will help search engines understand the focus of your business and display your website as a relevant result for local search queries.
Utilize Local Schema Markup Local schema markup is a code that helps search engines understand the context of your website’s content.
By adding local schema markup to your website, you can provide additional information about your business, such as your NAP, business hours, and product or service offerings.
This can improve your local search visibility and provide potential customers with more detailed information about your business.
Additional Tips for Improving Your Local SEO
1) Encourage Customer Reviews
Positive customer reviews can significantly impact your local search ranking and your credibility and reputation in the eyes of potential customers.
Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
Responding to positive and negative reviews can also help improve your online reputation and strengthen your customer relationship.
2) Build Local Backlinks
Backlinks from high-authority local websites can improve your local search ranking and establish your business as a trusted, relevant source of information in your industry. Look for opportunities to guest post on local blogs, participate in local events and sponsorships, and collaborate with other local businesses to build valuable backlinks.
Optimize for Mobile With most of the search traffic coming from mobile devices; it’s essential to ensure that your website is optimized for mobile. This includes responsive design, fast load times, and easy navigation on smaller screens.
3) Utilize Google Posts
Google Posts is a feature within GMB that allows businesses to share updates, promotions, and events directly on their GMB listing.
This can help improve your local search visibility and engage potential customers with fresh, relevant information about your business. Regularly updating your Google Posts can also show search engines that your business is active and relevant, impacting your local search ranking.
Frequently Asked Questions about Local SEO
1) How important is local SEO for small businesses?
Local SEO is especially important for small businesses as it allows them to compete against larger, well-established companies. By optimizing their website for local search engines, small businesses can improve their visibility and attract new customers in their local area.

With the right SEO strategy, you can level the playing field and compete with even the biggest players in your industry. In this article, we’ll explore the steps you need to take to improve your website’s SEO and increase your visibility in search results.
Understanding SEO
Before we dive into the specific steps you need to take to improve your SEO, it’s important to understand what SEO is and how it works.
SEO involves optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) for keywords related to your business. This increased visibility can attract more organic traffic to your site, leading to more leads, sales, and customers.
Keyword Research
The first step in improving your SEO is to conduct keyword research.
This involves identifying the keywords people use to search for products or services related to your business. Once you have a list of keywords, you can optimize your website to rank higher for those keywords in search results.
Several tools are available for keyword research, including Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush.
These tools can help you find relevant keywords and determine their competition level, which can help you decide which keywords to target.
On-Page Optimization
Once you have identified your keywords, the next step is to optimize your website for those keywords. This involves making changes to your website’s content and structure to ensure that it is optimized for search engines. Some of the most important on-page optimization factors include:
- Title tags
- Meta descriptions
- Headings (H1, H2, H3)
- Content
- Image optimization
- URL structure
Optimizing your website’s on-page factors can help search engines understand what your site is about and what keywords it should rank for. This, in turn, can lead to higher rankings in search results.
Off-Page Optimization
In addition to on-page optimization, you also need to focus on off-page optimization. This involves optimizing factors outside of your website that can impact your rankings, such as:
- Backlinks
- Social media signals
- Local citations
By building high-quality backlinks from other websites and promoting your site on social media, you can improve your website’s off-page optimization and increase your visibility in search results.
Tracking and Measuring Your Results
Once you have implemented your SEO strategy, tracking and measuring your results is important to see how well your efforts are paying off. Several tools are available for tracking your rankings, such as Google Analytics and Ahrefs.
These tools can help you see how your website is performing in search results and identify areas for improvement.
Additionally, you should regularly review your website’s traffic, leads, and conversions to see if there is a direct correlation with your SEO efforts.
By tracking and measuring your results, you can make informed decisions about your SEO strategy and adjust your efforts to achieve your goals.
Conclusion
SEO is a crucial tool for small businesses looking to compete with the big players in their industry.
By conducting keyword research, optimizing your website’s on-page and off-page factors, and tracking your results, you can improve your website’s visibility in search results and attract more organic traffic to your site.
While SEO can initially seem overwhelming, with the right strategy and tools, small businesses can compete with even the biggest players in their industry.
So, take the time to understand and implement SEO, and watch as your small business grows and flourishes.
In conclusion, SEO is a must-have strategy for small businesses looking to compete with larger companies in their industry.
By following the steps outlined in this article, you can improve your website’s visibility in search results and attract more organic traffic to your site, helping your business grow and succeed.
