The Client

Ideal Living is one of the largest D2C lifestyle brands in the US with over 14 products in their line-up. One of their core offerings is AromaTru i.e. revitalizing aromatherapy products including USDA-certified organic essential oils and diffusers to millions of customers.

Being successful in the competitive US market, the company was looking to generate more revenue from email marketing as a channel. They couldn’t get ROI - mainly due to low engagement rate and revenue from email marketing campaigns, even after having a robust tool in place- Klaviyo.

The Problem

We ran a thorough audit of their entire email marketing ecosystem including strategy and tool utilization. In our audit, the email marketing experts identified the following problems:

01 Ineffective segmentation for email marketing campaigns

02 Deliverability Issues with their marketing emails

03 Low engagement rate and revenue contribution from emails

Problem Overview

Approximately 40% of the targeted database was identified as unengaged subscribers and users.
Emails were being delivered in spam, promotional, or update inboxes. Affecting the domain score, provided by ESP.
Consistently average Open Rate of 30% and Click Rate of 0.8%.
Emails contributed a maximum of 16% to the total revenue of 2023.

Our Approach

We initiated a 360° sanitization and optimization process for all the dig-outs in our audit. Our comprehensive approach was predominantly focused on:

Leveraging the capabilities of Klaviyo.
Dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s to make the brand’s voice and messaging more impactful.
Develop a strategy to make email marketing campaigns a significant contributor to the total revenue.

Automation Flows

We strategized the following email automation flows for the client:

Phase I:

Browse Abandonment
Checkout Abandonment
Added to Cart Abandonment
Post Purchase (we wanted to recognize and acknowledge a repeat customer, and thank them for returning. We included supplementary content here such as promotional discounts and exclusive offers, feedback, etc.)
Welcome Email Series

Phase II:

Customer Winback
Cross-sell/Upsell
Birthday and similar flows
Sunset Flows
Back in stock (if any products generally go out of stock)

The Solution

We implemented the following solutions for our client:

WooCommerce & Klaviyo Integration:

To ensure zero data leakage, we thoroughly tested the integration and made sure that the data was flowing smoothly into Klaviyo. And recommend updates for an airtight integration.

Audience Segmentation:

We analyzed engagement metrics to create precise segments based on user engagement for 30, 60, 90, and 180 days. This also helped us identify user behavior and take necessary actions to improve engagement.

Improved Deliverability Rates:

We identified gaps in the email sending requirements and made sure that those gaps were addressed within a matter of days. This was a critical initiative, as the entire email marketing campaign was dependent on fixing the deliverability issues.

Content and Design Optimization:

We optimized the emails by running A/B tests on subject lines, preview headers, CTA placements, visual elements, and product showcase; to positively impact the audience’s buying decisions.

Email Automation:

Since Aromatru recently moved their store to WooCommerce, it became necessary to automate emails based on customer touch points within the sales funnel. This enhanced our overall decision-making process and helped gather vital information related to audience behavior. This also opened the doors for enriching the customer database with high-quality leads.

Website Optimization:

To ensure we are not losing out on website traffic redirected from email campaigns, we strategically deployed welcome pop-up and exit intent pop-up.

Impact and Outcomes

By leveraging Klaviyo's capabilities and implementing customized solutions, we witnessed remarkable outcomes within Q1 2024.

Revenue growth Q1 2024 vs. Year 2023

Email Contribution Split

Campaign performance for Q1 2024

Notably, our email campaigns contributed significantly to total revenue. While in 2023 the email campaigns of the client only contributed about 16.83% to total revenue, we increased the contribution by over 3x.

Further, we were able to achieve more than half the revenue contribution of their email campaigns during the previous, in the first quarter of 2024 itself.

Coupled with increased engagement rates and significant order values, we were able to showcase tangible ROI and lay the groundwork for continued success.
