The Story
Garvee is a global ecommerce brand selling across a wide range of categories, from industrial equipment and furniture to home essentials and tech. Built on quality, trust, and value, the brand serves both businesses and individual consumers looking for reliable products at honest prices.
When they came to Chronos in early 2025, email existed as a channel but wasn’t doing much. It generated 4% of total store revenue. Flows were underperforming. Campaigns had low click and conversion rates. Lead capture was converting at 1.6%.
The infrastructure was there in name. The engine wasn’t running.
The Problem
Email was active across campaigns and flows, but none of it was pulling weight.
- Campaign click and conversion rates were low, the abandoned cart email strategy wasn’t recovering revenue at any meaningful rate, and lead capture was barely converting at 1.6%.
- Email contributed 4% of total store revenue—3% from flows, 1% from campaigns—despite having the audience and the traffic to do far more.
- There was no discount discipline, no segmentation structure, and no deliverability hygiene in place.
Scaling on that foundation would have made the problems worse, not better.
The Goal
When we started, the targets were clear:
- Grow email revenue contribution to at least 10% of total ecommerce store revenue
- Increase flow contribution to 5%+
- Increase campaign contribution to 2%+
- Improve lead capture conversion to 3%
Beyond the numbers, the brief was to reduce reliance on paid acquisition and build a lifecycle engine that compounds over time.
The Strategy
1. Rebuilding the Flow Architecture
We redesigned every core flow from the ground up.
The welcome flow, abandoned cart email sequences, browse abandonment, and post-purchase flows were rebuilt with strong USPs, review-based credibility, and dynamic product blocks.
Discount logic was tightened to a 12% cap with expiry urgency built in, preventing margin bleed while maintaining conversion incentive.
Timing delays were reduced in abandonment flows, profile filters were added, and checkout recovery was simplified to remove choice overload.
The urgency ladder in checkout flows escalated from 10% to 15% across sends, creating a consistent pull rather than a single static offer.
2. Campaign Segmentation at Scale
Before scaling send volume, we built the segmentation infrastructure to support it.
Engaged audiences were split into 0–30 day, 31–60 day, and 61–90 day segments. Inactive profiles were suppressed.
Purchase-behavior targeting and product-specific segments were layered in alongside engaged 180-day filters.
This is what Klaviyo lifecycle marketing looks like when it’s built properly—campaign deliveries scaled from 425K to 4.4M in Q4 without sacrificing deliverability or inbox placement.
3. Lead Capture Optimization
Popups were rebuilt inside Klaviyo with SMS multi-step opt-ins, exit-intent triggers, and a controlled discount ladder.
The result was a subscriber acquisition engine that could sustain aggressive list growth without degrading list quality.
In Q4 2025 alone, Garvee added 101K new email subscribers and 77K net new subscribers.
4. Deliverability as Infrastructure
Scaling send volume only works if inbox placement holds.
We cleaned inactive profiles, suppressed unengaged users, controlled send frequency, and monitored spam rates throughout.
Spam rate held at 0.04% in Q4 2025 with a campaign open rate of 42.82%. Revenue multiplied because reputation was protected first.
The Results
By Q4 2025, Garvee had entered peak season with a fully operational lifecycle engine. The compounding effect of 12 months of structural work showed up in the numbers.
