How to write a cold email to Klaviyo

Klaviyo has become the dominant email and SMS marketing platform for Shopify-powered brands, displacing Mailchimp as the default choice for DTC companies that need serious segmentation and automation. Klaviyo's buyers are performance marketers and e-commerce operators who are fluent in metrics: revenue per recipient, list growth rate, flow conversion, and attributed revenue. Cold emails to Klaviyo users should open with a revenue or retention metric — anything else signals that you don't understand their world. Klaviyo has expanded aggressively beyond email into SMS, reviews, and customer data, which means they're now competing with platforms like Attentive, Yotpo, and even parts of Salesforce Marketing Cloud. If your product extends Klaviyo's functionality or addresses a gap in their stack, that's your most powerful angle.

Short, personalized emails like this typically outperform generic outreach by 2–3x in reply rates.

Best use cases for this template

  • Selling SMS or push notification tools to complement Klaviyo email flows
  • Pitching customer data platforms or CDP tools to Klaviyo-powered e-commerce brands
  • Outreaching to Klaviyo agency partners managing retention programs for DTC clients
  • Selling loyalty or subscription tools to Shopify brands already using Klaviyo
  • Targeting e-commerce teams looking to extend Klaviyo with reviews or UGC tools

How to personalize this email for Klaviyo

Klaviyo's integration with Shopify is the center of gravity for most of their users — if your product has a Shopify and Klaviyo integration, lead with that combination. Klaviyo users organize their world around flows (welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase) — referencing a specific flow and how your product improves it shows genuine product knowledge. Attentive and Postscript are the most natural SMS alternatives; Yotpo and Okendo are natural references for loyalty and reviews. Klaviyo's recent IPO means their customers are now evaluating them with a more critical eye on pricing — if your product offers capabilities Klaviyo charges premium for, that's a compelling angle right now.
