Email & SMS Retention

Email & SMS Flows That Bring Buyers Back

Most stores treat email as a newsletter. The real revenue is in flows — welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, winback — that fire automatically on real shopper behavior. We build and tune the flows so repeat revenue compounds instead of depending entirely on new traffic.

We'll audit what's already firing (if anything) and tell you which missing flow is costing you the most.

Set Up Once, Right

A Newsletter Is Not a Retention Strategy

If your only email is a weekly promo blast, you're leaving abandoned-cart and post-purchase revenue on the table — the highest-converting emails a store can send, and they run on autopilot once built.

What usually goes wrong

DIY or rushed agency setup

  • Email limited to a weekly promotional newsletter
  • No abandoned cart or checkout recovery flow at all
  • SMS unused or bolted on without a real strategy
  • One-size list with no segmentation by behavior
  • Flows built once and never checked again

What's Included

The Flows That Actually Move Revenue

Built once, tuned over time — the automated email and SMS sequences that turn a first order into a repeat customer.

Welcome

Welcome Series

A multi-email welcome sequence for new subscribers that introduces the brand and moves toward a first purchase without feeling like a sales pitch.

  • Multi-touch welcome sequence
  • First-purchase incentive (if it fits the brand)
  • Segmented by signup source
Cart & checkout recovery

Abandoned Cart, Checkout & Browse

The highest-converting automated emails a store can send — recovering carts, abandoned checkouts, and browse sessions that didn't convert.

  • Abandoned cart sequence
  • Abandoned checkout recovery
  • Browse abandonment flow
Post-purchase

Post-Purchase & Winback

Order confirmation and shipping updates that build trust, plus winback sequences that re-engage customers who've gone quiet.

  • Post-purchase & shipping flow
  • Replenishment reminders (if applicable)
  • Winback sequence for lapsed customers
SMS

SMS Integration

SMS added where it earns its place — cart recovery, shipping updates, and flash promotions — with compliance (TCPA/consent) handled correctly.

  • SMS cart & checkout recovery
  • Shipping & delivery updates
  • Compliant opt-in & consent handling
Subscriptions

Subscriptions & Replenishment

For consumable or replenishable products, flows that support subscription offers and remind customers before they run out.

  • Subscription onboarding flow
  • Replenishment reminders
  • Churn/cancellation save flow
List growth

Segmentation & List Growth

Behavioral segmentation — by purchase history, engagement, and product interest — so flows and campaigns target the right people.

  • Behavioral & purchase segmentation
  • Pop-up/list growth setup
  • Flow performance tracked over time

How Email & SMS Engagements Are Scoped

Flow setup is scoped to your product catalog, order volume, and which platform you're on (Klaviyo or similar). Our pricing page shows starting tiers; exact scope is confirmed after reviewing what's already in place.

Common Questions

Klaviyo Email & SMS Flow Setup — FAQ

Klaviyo is our default recommendation for Shopify stores, but we work with whatever platform you're already on if switching isn't the right move yet.
Core flows (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase) are typically the fastest to launch. Full flow sets with SMS and segmentation take longer — we'll scope a real timeline after reviewing your store.
Yes. Flow strategy without the copy to back it up doesn't convert — we write the sequences, not just the automation logic.
Yes. Plenty of engagements start with flows that already exist but aren't converting. We audit send performance first and fix the highest-impact issues before building anything new.
Yes. Consent capture and opt-in handling are built into the SMS setup from the start, not treated as an afterthought.

Let's Find the Flow You're Missing

We'll review your current email and SMS setup — or start from zero — and tell you which flow would recover the most revenue first.
