FREQUENTLY ASKED

How much of my revenue should come from email?

Benchmark: 25–35% of total revenue from Klaviyo for brands with 12+ months of proper configuration. Below 20% indicates under-investment in flows or campaigns. Above 40% is achievable with excellent segmentation and consistent sending.

How often should D2C brands send email campaigns?

1–3 campaigns per week to engaged segments. More during peak seasons (BFCM: daily). Less for low-touch categories. The rule: send as frequently as your content quality allows without list burnout. Monitor unsubscribe rate — above 0.5% per send is too high.

What is the difference between flows and campaigns in D2C email?

Flows: automated, triggered by subscriber behaviour, generate consistent revenue 24/7. Campaigns: manual sends to segments, one-time events. Most brands should aim for 60% flow revenue, 40% campaign revenue. Flows compound; campaigns require ongoing effort.
