Email retention for founder-led DTC brands
Your hero product brings them in. We sell them the rest of the shelf.
Retail and drops win the first order. We build the email flows that earn the second, inside your Klaviyo.

(02) The problem
Every drop brings new faces. Most leave with one product.
- 01Retail sells the hero SKU and keeps the customer data.
- 02Collab buyers get the same welcome email as everyone else. Then silence.
- 03The next drop goes to the whole list with a code attached.
We build the email flows that fix all 3. No discount needed.
(03) What we build
Hero to routine. Order 2, no code attached.
The email flows that take a hero-product buyer to the second product, the refill and the bundle.

(04) What we build
Drop buyers. Their own path after the collab.
So they come back for the brand, not just the next drop.

(08) A note from Michal
20+ brands. All had a good welcome. Then silence after shipping.
The second product is where the economics turn. That is the only thing I build.

Still unsure? Ask in the fit review. You'll get a straight answer.
Questions10 answered
A small list is the best time to build. The flows run on every new buyer from day 1, so the system grows with the list. List size is 1 input of 7 in the fit review. Order volume, reorder window, margin, catalog, data quality and team capacity are the other 6.
Most accounts we open run 2 of 12: a welcome and an abandoned cart. We audit what runs, keep what works, and build the missing flows around it. The scope names each one.
The scope sets a launch date for every flow before work starts. Repeat purchase becomes measurable once those flows are live and writing data into Klaviyo. We won't attach a dollar figure to a date. Product, traffic, offer and margin still sit with you.
No. Nobody honest can. We don't control your product, traffic, offer or margin. What we do guarantee is delivery: every flow in the roadmap is live in 30 days, or the retainer is free until it is.
Setup is priced in writing after the fit review, then a monthly retainer. Flow count, data quality and your stack set the scope. Nothing starts until you approve the number.
Yes, for 1 flow or a campaign pack. Order 2 breaks when flows, loyalty, SMS and reporting sit with 4 people who never see each other's work. We put all of it in 1 scope, so order 2 has 1 owner.
No. Nothing migrates. We build inside the 7 tools you already pay for: Klaviyo, Attentive, Okendo, Yotpo, Recharge, Gorgias and Triple Whale. No new logins. You keep the data.
Access to the store, Klaviyo, loyalty and analytics, plus 1 person who can approve work. One 30-minute call from your side. We write, your team approves. Work stalls when that approver goes quiet.
You own it. Every flow, segment and report sits in your accounts, documented, with a handoff doc and a training call for your team or agency. It keeps running whether we talk again or not.
Send the store and your top priority, or ask for the free Shelf Teardown. If it fits, you get a written scope with dates and price. The form does not book a call.
