You're leaving 30% of your revenue on the table, and your email list is the reason. I'm a Klaviyo email marketing specialist for DTC and Shopify brands, and I turn neglected lists into a predictable revenue engine. Your store has traffic. People browse, click, add to cart, sign up. Then nothing. No welcome, no recovery, just silence while you spend more on ads to replace customers you already had. So stop treating email like a side task. Done right, it's the most predictable, highest-margin channel you've got. That shift starts with the right strategy and a system to deliver it, and that's the part I handle. Every project starts the same way: I find where your revenue is leaking, then I build the infrastructure to stop it. The foundation is your Klaviyo flows. A Welcome flow that turns subscribers into buyers. An Abandoned Cart flow that recovers high-intent shoppers. A Post-Purchase flow that earns the repeat order. A Winback flow that brings lapsed customers back with timing that actually lands. Brands running properly built flows on real data pull 35–45% of revenue from email. Most start around 12%. Automation is where strategy becomes daily income. I set every trigger, split and delay on purpose, so your flows are converting, recovering and retaining around the clock. Most accounts I step into are running at half capacity, and closing that gap is usually the fastest revenue win on the table. Beyond the flows, I run your campaigns: launches, seasonal pushes, lifecycle content. Every send is built on real campaign setup, meaning proper segmentation, timing tests and subject line work, grounded in deliverability practices that protect your sender reputation while keeping engagement high. You get clear reporting on what each send earned, so you're making calls on data instead of guessing. Segmentation is what turns a passive list into a precision tool. I split your audience by purchase history, engagement, predicted LTV and churn risk, then write automation logic that actually speaks to each group. It turns email from a one-way broadcast into something closer to a conversation, and every build is documented and owned by you, not locked in my head. I also handle the unglamorous side: email deliverability, domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and list hygiene. Strong copy and design count for nothing if the message lands in spam. Switching platforms? I run clean Mailchimp-to-Klaviyo migrations. Adding SMS? I build Klaviyo SMS flows that sit alongside email and add revenue without piling on complexity. Retention is the highest-ROI work in ecommerce, so every system I build is centred on it, with LTV as the scorecard. Brands that treat email as a retention strategy and not a newsletter tend to see it become their best revenue channel inside 60 to 90 days. Services I provide: ✅Klaviyo account setup and Shopify integration ✅Klaviyo flows: Welcome, Abandoned Cart, Post-Purchase, Browse Abandonment, Winback, Sunset, VIP, Replenishment ✅Campaign management: copywriting, design and deployment ✅Advanced segmentation, deliverability and domain authentication ✅Klaviyo audit and CRM automation ✅Mailchimp-to-Klaviyo migration ✅Klaviyo SMS marketing setup and management ✅A/B testing and email revenue optimisation What you can expect: A retention system built around your customer journey and your brand voice. Each flow optimised, each segment refined, each campaign built on real data. Over time, email becomes your highest-margin channel with your strongest retention numbers. Industries: Fashion & Apparel · Beauty & Skincare · Health & Wellness · Home & Lifestyle · Consumer Tech · Pet · Food & Beverage · Jewellery · Footwear Why clients keep coming back: I don't disappear after setup. Every decision gets explained, every build documented, every result trackable. DTC brands that take retention and long-term LTV seriously find the work keeps paying off well past the initial project. Send me a message and let's talk through your setup, or invite me to your job and we'll get started. I usually reply within a few hours.

Pitch decks? You got it. One pitch deck I created secured $20M for an insurance startup, another generated $29M for a food startup. I have lots of consulting experience so I promise you some beautiful decks Excel and Google Sheets help? You got it, I created my first model 22 years ago and have since created hundreds of others. Business planning? Sure thing, I'll do your market research and I'll find stuff that nobody else can anywhere on the web, or through other, more... direct, methods. I will then craft a beautiful, visual, sound business plan with real feasible financials. How about Project Management? Well, I managed some Multi-million dollar projects in F500 companies (and startups), I am a certified Scrum Master, an MBA and I know processes creation and visualization in and out. If any of this resonates with you, let's talk. For full disclosure: My minimum current fee for a project is $1,200
