WHY THIS TEMPLATE EXISTS
The average D2C brand recovers 8–12% of abandoned carts. Our clients recover 40–52%. The difference is almost always sequence structure, subject line quality, and send timing — not the discount size.
This template is distilled from managing Klaviyo for 40+ D2C brands across fashion, supplements, beauty, and home goods. Every element has been A/B tested across real revenue.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS SEQUENCE
- Email 1 sends at 1 hour — not 15 minutes (too aggressive) or 24 hours (too late)
- Email 3 with the discount is sent only if the person didn't click Email 2 — no giving discounts to people who were going to buy anyway
- Subject lines use first name personalization + dynamic product name — both tested to lift open rates by 18–26%
- Email 4 is deliberately plain text — it feels personal, not promotional, and converts at 2× the rate of designed emails
HOW TO SET THIS UP IN KLAVIYO
Setup takes about 90 minutes if you already have Klaviyo connected to Shopify. The template includes step-by-step Klaviyo setup instructions, including how to configure the flow trigger, add dynamic blocks, and set up the conditional send logic.
You do not need a developer. Everything in this template works with Klaviyo's drag-and-drop editor.
