Klaviyo
Klaviyo may not be the best fit for everyone. It can be relatively expensive compared to other email marketing platforms, so it might not be ideal for small businesses with limited budgets. Additionally, the reporting features could be more advanced for those who require more detailed analytics.

SessionM
SessionM is ideal for enterprise restaurants, brands, and organizations to build and drive loyal behaviors via technology platforms. They've built their system via robust APIs integrations, but are now diving into a white label app system that allows smaller brands (100 units+) to utilize their incredible technology in their own brand, as opposed to just bigger players. They're the best at what they do.

Pros
Klaviyo
  • Email automation that nurtured new prospects with education and promotion content.
  • List segmentation. We could segment our list by behavior, purchase history and by demographics. This gave us more views into the customer segmentation.
  • Promotion emails. the high delivery rate of Flash sales, discounts, and promotions that drove sales
  • SMS messaging. We could time SMS messaging to be aligned with email promotion to give a more omni marketing approach to CRM
  • Reporting. Klavio provided excellent reporting by campaign and marketing period. It was able to track open rate, CTR, conversion and revenue.
  • Creative Management. Klavio allowed us to store graphics from previous campaigns and use them in future marketing efforts
  • Campaign Builder. the email builder mechanism is outstanding allowing for graphic, text, shapes and images all to be incorporated in HTML emails
  • Testing. The AB testing function allowed for campaign optimization

SessionM
  • Using data science to determine guest tendencies and actions: their system is incredibly smart and tracks historical actions to guess/estimate future actions, and creating programs to influence those actions.
  • Integrated communication platforms to speak to all of our guests within various tactics—email, push notifications, text messages, in-app messages, etc.
  • Loyalty management & CRM: creating and managing a program that runs consistently across the system.

Cons
Klaviyo
  • The image quality you are able to upload can be a bit low, would love crisper GIFs and images to be allowed to upload
  • Easier way to clean up and clear out inactive users
  • Two way data sync between Klaviyo and Shopify (tags and such) as I believe it is a one way system as of now

  • Some improvement could be made on their integrations process with all platforms (olo, monkey media, etc.).

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

Alternatives Considered
Klaviyo
Klaviyo is by far the most well-rounded email tool I have used. It is on par with Mailchimp is ease of email design, but far better when it comes to analytics, flows, and segmentation. We knew that as we grew, we risked alienating our audience amid we didn’t create a more sophisticated strategy for customer engagement and retention. Klaviyo was the only option that allowed us to execute our strategy without sacrifice.

SessionM
SessionM was light years ahead of Fishbowl, in the data science tendency assumptions that are built into the system, plus they don't offer an app for your brand to use. You'd have to employ a 3rd vendor to manage that. It's also important to note that SessionM sees ALL guests and POS content in the system, not just loyalty identified transactions.

  • Our work with SessionM has been so incredibly impactful to our brand loyal guests, and the value they bring to our brand. For example, our loyal guests are worth $100+ more than our non-loyalty guests.
