Klaviyo vs. Zoho Marketing Automation

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.

I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
available to help close deals successfully.

• 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

• 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 of the field mappings between Leads and Deals are not always perfect.
• Social media interactions are not captured (i.e. you cannot make a case from a post)

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.

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

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.

Zoho has a good price point. I would encourage that the add-on pricing be less aggressive.
