    Klaviyo is a leader in the space, but I might recommend it to a colleague for its price point. There are other options that are more affordable and provide most of the tools Klaviyo offers. I also think it can be complicated to use for a new user.

    Pros
    Klaviyo
    • Klaviyo's template builder is very intuitive yet straightforward enough that an inexperienced user can catch on quickly.
    • Their flow builder is also quite intuitive and allows us to build intricate, highly targeted flows.
    • I appreciate their built-in compliance warnings & checks as they apply to opt-out methods, SMS compliance, and overall deliverability.

    • Automates multisite SEO, so we can stay focused on great content that attracts the right audience for our two entirely different strategic business units.
    • Eliminates the surprises we used to get with other plugins when Wordpress makes unannounced changes that crash other plugins.
    • Agile, easy to use, and saves hours of time and creative resources
    • Automates metric capture: site analytics, keyword/phrase capture, search engine page results etc...in an online dashboard (and it's free).

    Cons
    Klaviyo
    • Needs more visible critical notifications as we once exceeded our monthly email limit right during the Black Friday campaign. The notification was not visible enough for us to catch it on time, as a result, some emails scheduled to be sent over the weekend were never sent
    • Better library of dynamic values available for use inside emails

    • It has a lot of features. So, it's kind of difficult to get started and to learn every feature in the software. However, once you get used to SambaSaaS, it's fairly easy to navigate.

    Klaviyo is simply a great solution for e-com email marketing & customer relationship management:
    1. User journey visibility: We can see our clients' customers on their individual user journeys (open email, site visits) to better understand and accommodate your customers.
    2. Flow automation: Creating automated emails that follow up with new leads, those who abandoned carts, purchased.
    3. Email design: So easy to use, and more friendly than some other visual builders that we've used.
    4. Metrics visibility: We can see our clients' metrics very easily and adjust efforts accordingly.

    Usability
    Klaviyo
    The only reason why I did not give it a 10/10 is that it cannot distinguish purchases that came through subscription recharges instead of purchases that were driven directly by email sends. Other than that, the automation qualities, design features, and segmentation options make this an incredible email platform, and I am very happy with it

    Their support is always quick and we have recurring meetings with our advisor. they were great when we first started at walking us through the platform and helping us understand how to do the overall setup. They also have a wide variety of articles that cover must issues in a very clear manner that will get you out of a predicament really fast.

    Klaviyo's ability to really tackle the entire marketing contact ecosystem on one platform is what really won us over. The price for everything was competitive, not necessarily the cheapest but competitive, and the ability to see that data flow from every interaction was what was crucial to us. Additionally, Klaviyo is the core of our B2C business. We were not focused on anything other than how we interact with customers directly, and Klaviyo was a direct win for us. The one negative is Klaviyo's ability to work with our B2B side of our business, because it doesn't integrate with platforms like HubSpot. That is a massive downside, but the upside justified the investment.

    Prior to SeoSamba we were making manual changes. Then we started researching several possible other plugins but the reviews all said the same - that if WP made significant enough changes those plugins would become ineffective. SeoSamba's ability to automate optimization and keep up with/stay ahead of those changes was the deciding factor for us.

    Return on Investment
    Klaviyo
    • Klaviyo brought our email channel to the top performing channel over Paid Ads several times (according to G Analytics), before Klaviyo Paid Ads were always top and the email channel struggled to even stay in 2nd place.
    • Klaviyo did cost quite a bit more than our old email platform but the ROI was much higher so it paid for itself.
    • Klaviyo implemented tools that allowed us to have a higher customer satisfaction with things like letting customers choose to receive less emails instead of unsubscribing.
