Seen too many large DTC brands missing this
Hello hello, its Milan again
In this newsletter I wanted to talk about something that I’ve noticed in my audits of Klaviyo accounts recently
It’s very surprising but a lot of the brands I’m talking to are missing some of the 5 basic Pre-Purchase flows.
This is fairly simple stuff like having a seperate abandoned cart and checkout
Or mistaking one as the other and not having an actual abandoned cart
Or not having a browse abandonment flow setup.
So i think it’s worthwhile actually spending this email making sure you’re not making the same mistake and losing 1000s of conversions per year because of something that takes a weeks work MAX.
Before that, give my LinkedIn a follow because I’ll be posting helpful tips there daily and I don’t want you to miss anything. https://www.linkedin.com/in/milanraviji/
So the 5 basic flows are
Welcome Flow
Active on Site Flow - needs to be set up with code manually
Browse Abandonment
Checkout Abandonment
Cart Abandonment (There's a difference, and you're missing out BIG if you're not aware)
1/ Welcome Flow
You all know this one so won’t spent a lot of time: Triggers as soon as someone signs up to mailing list and gives an overview of the brand and products.
Good metric for this is does it convert between $1-5 per recipient.
$1 for lower AOV, $5 for higher AOV items
2/ Active on Site Flow:
Triggers when someone is looking through website but doesn't click onto a product.
Follow this article to set up active on site tracking https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005076767
If you think about this group of people, they browsing the site but they haven’t seen a product that they’re interested enough to click on, so the content here should be showcasing your best selling items and what the items will do for them
Goal is to earn the click and trigger the next flow
3/ Viewed Product or Browse Abandonment Flow:
Triggers when someone clicks on a product but leaves site without adding to cart.
- Similar messaging as Active on Site however tailor messaging and benefits to specific products that have been clicked.
4/ Abandoned Cart:
- Triggers when someone clicks add to cart, but leaves without going to the checkout page.
- This is one of the highest converting flows, however so many brands are missing this because it requires an additional code to be added to shopify to trigger correctly when a customer clicks add to cart.
- Klaviyo provides a templated abandoned cart flow with it's shopify integration that actually only triggers when buyers reach the checkout page.
- This alone is costing $1000s in sales per month for brands.
5/ Abandoned Checkout:
- Triggers when someone adds a product to cart, and then clicks onto the checkout page where they fill in payment details.
- Messaging is similar to add to cart, but emphasis on refund policy / shipping / guarantees etc
Hope that was useful.
