MailChimp to Klaviyo Migration Case Study – 12% Revenue Increase

MailChimp to Klaviyo Migration Case Study – 12% Revenue Increase

LIKE THIS 80

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

This company produces gluten-free snack bars and is co-founded by 2 brothers.

When Elliott reached out to me in late June 2024, they were running MailChimp. They had fine for basic sends, but not built for the revenue-driven automation a growing brand actually needs.

And one thing that made this project stand out was that the I found one of their products on a grocery store shelf before the engagement even started, bought it, and tried it. Loved it.

When the product genuinely works, email marketing becomes a lot easier to write.


Klaviyo Flow Performance

These are the actual Klaviyo stats from the flows after migration (with full permission of course — had to cut out and blur the screenshots this way cos of NDA and stuff). The abandoned cart numbers alone show exactly how much the client was leaving on the table with MailChimp: a 43% open rate and 14% CTR is well above industry average for any ecommerce flow.

What Made It Work

  1. The Right Platform: Klaviyo gave the segmentation, automation, and analytics the muscle that MailChimp simply doesn’t have at this level for ecommerce. The migration itself opened up capabilities that weren’t possible before.
  2. A Strategic Plan: Every step was mapped before execution started. No guesswork, or switching lanes mid-project… We followed a our structured approach and system through to completion.
  3. 2-Way Accountability: We didn’t just build the strategy and hand it over. We held them accountable to following it too. And I don’t have to tell you 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.

Full Strategy Breakdown

  1. Opt-ins & List Building: Lead magnets, landing pages, and on-site capture forms to grow a clean, engaged list before anything else went live.
  2. Segmentation: List split by behaviour, purchase history, and interests so every send reached the right person at the right time.
  3. Email Design: Mobile-first templates, brand-consistent, built to drive clicks, not just opens.
  4. Content Creation: Storytelling, education, promotions, and time-limited offer. A full content mix that keeps subscribers engaged month after month.
  5. 10 Automations: All configured within the first 3 months and running 24/7 across the entire customer lifecycle from day one.
  6. A/B Testing & Analytics: Continuous subject line, copy, and CTA testing, tracked via Klaviyo, Google Analytics, Shopify, and custom dashboards.

The Takeaway: Flows generated 59% of revenue without a single manual send. That’s what building the automation infrastructure right from the start actually looks like. Campaigns added the other 41%, keeping the brand front of mind all year without the list going cold.

$34,000+ Revenue in 30 Days with Klaviyo Email Marketing

In a single month with 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 Campaigns12% → 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 6-Step Process

As usual, I carried out my 6-step Klaviyo growth process.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Segmentation Overhaul: A new hyper-engaged segment was created, high-intent subscribers who tolerate higher send frequency without bouncing off the list.
  5. Strategy Deployment: Executed using my proven ClickUp marketing template already refined across multiple e-commerce clients.
  6. Execution: Right designs, right messaging, right segmentation, right split tests – all firing together. And as you know, 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 usually shapes what you write next month.

Klaviyo A/B subject line open rate results

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. And that’s the whole point of split testing.

The Challenge

This client came in with almost no email marketing in place. And I mean no flows, no segmentation, not even a strategyy.

The Shopify store was sitting on untapped subscriber data.

So after conducting analysis thoroughly, we found out that just 3 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

So we integrated Klaviyo with Shopify and an entire email system was built from scratch.

  • Pop-up forms to capture emails
  • Segmented lists for targeted messaging
  • Seven automated flows covering every stage of the customer lifecycle.

Then, once the flows were producing results, 6 monthly campaigns were added on top to keep revenue consistent.

The flows built were:

  • Welcome
  • Abandoned Checkout
  • Abandoned Cart
  • Browse Abandonment
  • Post-Purchase
  • Sunset
  • Win-Back

Pop-Up Opt-in Form

Since this is the list-building engine, we unleashed a well-designed pop-up that was hitting 6.5% on desktop and 5.9% on mobile in sign up rates.

We made sure we have a solid number before a single email goes out. Although initially it was doing about 4.5%, we optimized and split tested to hit our acceptable number.


Welcome Flow: $14,500 / Month

The welcome flow has three emails over 4 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

We all know that abandoned checkouts are where the hottest prospects reside. These are shoppers who got all the way to checkout and left, so we did our best work on this flow.

3 emails over four days (the best sequence for this flow), each nudging them back with increasing urgency.

$7.03 per recipient.

This flow alone could justify the entire email setup.

Campaign Performance

As for the campaigns, we’ve got like 6 campaigns/month running alongside the flows.

These are a mix of proven formats and fresh experiments. Each campaign averaged ~$600 in revenue, not counting promotional or sale-day spikes.

Case Study: Effective Outreach Email Campaign for Car Detailing Leads

Case Study: Effective Outreach Email Campaign for Car Detailing Leads

  • Client: Car Detailing Kitchener
LIKE THIS 223

In this case study, we’ll take a look at an outreach email campaign designed to generate leads for a car detailing company. The objective was to connect with potential customers and refer them to our client who was temporarily unavailable.

Campaign Overview

We targeted 111 leads in a single email sequence. Our goal was to measure the effectiveness of the email content in generating responses and securing potential business.

Email Sequence Details

  • Leads Targeted: 111
  • Emails Sent: 46
  • Open Rate: 82.61% (38 emails opened)
  • Click Rate: 0% (0 clicked, no links included)
  • Reply Rate: 13.04% (6 replies)
  • Appointments Booked: 4

Email Content

The email content was crafted to be straightforward and personal. Here’s an example of the email sent:


Subject: Looking for a Car Detailing Company to Send Phone Calls

Hi there,

Would you be the right person to talk to about referring some customers your way?

I recently built a website for one of my car detailing clients but he’s kind of out of town, and it’s generating steady leads for services.

I just don’t wanna lose these leads. I know how valuable they are and I’ve got about 12 right now in and around Kitchener. I just need to give them off to somebody for a while until I figure out what to do with the site.

So if you’re taking in more work, please let me know and I would be happy to provide you with more information and answer any questions you may have.


Analysis

  1. Open Rate:
    • The campaign had a high open rate of 82.61%. This indicates that the subject line and sender information were compelling enough for recipients to open the emails. For cold outreach, this is an impressive open rate, showing that the initial contact was well-received.
  2. Click Rate:
    • The click rate was 0%, which was expected since no links were included in the emails. Including relevant links or CTAs in future campaigns might help improve this metric.
  3. Reply Rate:
    • The campaign had a reply rate of 13.04%. This shows that the email content was engaging enough to elicit responses from recipients. For cold outreach, a double-digit reply rate is quite significant and indicates strong engagement.
  4. Appointments Booked:
    • The campaign resulted in 4 booked appointments. This demonstrates that despite being a cold outreach campaign, it successfully converted a portion of the engaged leads into appointments.

Conclusion

The outreach email campaign for car detailing leads showed potential with a high open and reply rate, especially for cold outreach. The results are promising, highlighting the effectiveness of the initial engagement strategy.

The fact that it led to 4 booked appointments shows tangible success. By refining the email content, enhancing the CTA, and implementing a follow-up strategy, we can expect even better results in future campaigns.
