Results
Overall, we achieved a massive improvement in revenue from new customers, and improved on key metrics across the board.
The revenue increase is great, though a hugely important result here is this business finally got a clean email marketing structure, and got set-up with clean data to reach all relevant subscribers with personalized content. This means they can now make accurate performance based decisions for their email marketing efforts.

Background
In November 2012, two successful Australian authors, media personalities, and entrepreneurial sisters, launched a lifestyle blog.
The website focuses on living a healthy luxe-for-less lifestyle. It covers a range of topics including fashion, beauty, health, home and family. In 2015, the business expanded into an online store selling fashion, accessories and homewares, along with health, wellness and beauty products.
Over the space of a few years, the business turned into a growing, global wellness brand, and had a growing email list of more than 40.000 active subscribers. The email marketing platform they were using no longer met the needs of the business, and it was time to move to a more robust platform to maximize the capability, reach, and lifetime value of its customers.
They had an in-house email marketing team, but they were lacking the know-how to make a successful switch to Klaviyo. There was some anxiety around transitioning to a new platform, as their sales were hugely dependent on email revenue.
That’s when they reached out to us to see if we could help.
During our initial conversations, we asked their team what problems they wanted us to solve for them. Here’s what they said:
- Move over their entire list, segments & email templates from their current email platform to Klaviyo. Most importantly, make sure no important data gets lost in the process.
- Set up and configure Klaviyo to suit their needs.
- Set up all important email marketing automations with a focus maximizing repeat purchases & customer lifetime value.
- Educate & train their team on general email marketing best practice, then train them up Klaviyo.
- Increase audience engagement with great content through emails.
We loved having the opportunity to work with the founders of this business, two inspiring entrepreneurs, along with their team. Their brand already had a loyal following, and their business is all about helping people become their best selves. This is something we were so excited to be a part of.
We agreed to audit their entire set-up, create a strategy / project plan for their new system, then get everything set-up from scratch.
Rocket would then manage the system, and help them reach their milestones as quickly as possible.
As usual, this was not going to be easy.
Goals
Audit the current set-up, then create a project plan & strategy for the transition to Klaviyo.
Re-strategize their email marketing & connect it holistically to their entire customer journey. Then implement everything all the new flows, content, tracking, list cleaning, segmentation with a focus on LTV.
Set-up a training system for their in-house team to get up to speed on how to use Klaviyo with maximum effectiveness.

Challenges
Challenge 1
The business was a wellness blog way before email marketing platforms became as advanced as they are now.
As they grew, they added a Shopify store on top of their WordPress blog, and they used manual workarounds to keep their marketing systems working.
This meant things were all over the place, data was being collected in different tools, certain processes were manual, and there was a bunch of different email lists. We had to clean everything up, centralize it in (Klaviyo) and automate everything.
Challenge 2
Underperforming email marketing.
Lower than expected levels of engagement, CTR, conversions, repeat purchases etc. Most damaging was open rate rate. Many people weren’t even getting the emails.
Challenge 3
Training their team on email marketing best practices and how to use Klaviyo (it was a completely new platform for them)
We aimed to create a system for their team, along with a manual for how to use, manage, and improve the system over time.
The takeaway so far is…… prioritize your email marketing.
Otherwise you limit your business, you’ll run into bigger problems later down the line, and lose out on revenue.
So what should you prioritize?
Stay on top of your sender score, segment & clean your lists, and analyze your email metrics frequently to identify any issues.
Solutions
Solution 1
Building Our Sender Reputation
This transition represented a huge opportunity to optimize their email in the best way possible.
An email sender reputation is a score that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns to an organization that sends email. The higher the score, the more likely an ISP will deliver emails to the inboxes of recipients on their network.
We took this opportunity to improve deliverability by properly warming up the sender infrastructure, turning the most engaging flows on first, and sending emails only to the most engaged users first. This helped us quickly build up a good sender reputation, which was required due to having a new IP address (this happens when you change your email provider).
After advising the client on sacrificing a part of their list (dis-engaged), we made sure to send emails only to engaged user segments to keep consistently high engagement rates.
Solution 2
Connecting All Data And Integrations In One Platform
We replaced sign-up forms on their site, set up all the integrations, and combined relevant lists to be in control of everything.
We set up the tracking so we could understand the data better and automated their entire email marketing (besides ongoing newsletters).
This was not an easy task, but luckily we’re a Klaviyo Partner and we were able to get help from the awesome team over at Klaviyo.
Solution 3
Implementing The New Email Strategy
Setting up all the newly strategized email flows to continually communicate with new subscribers (welcome flows) + keep customers engaged (post purchase flows) + rescue lost revenue (browse abandonment + abandoned cart flow) + winback previously engaged customers (customer winback flow) and clean the list.
Solution 4
Create & Implement A New Training System For Their Team
We developed a custom training program and set up a series of coaching calls to get their team up to speed on email marketing best practices & how to use Klaviyo.

Takeaways
Takeaway 1
Whenever you move to a new email platform, make sure to use it as an opportunity to work on your sender reputation & deliverability. Don’t just set the new one up and start blasting emails. Warm up your sending infrastructure properly first.
Takeaway 2
This may sound basic to some, but email marketing is no longer blasting as many emails to as many recipients as possible. engage people, start conversations. Get people invested in your brand by investing your time and efforts in engaging with your audience.
Takeaway 3
If you’ve got a complicated website setup, with either a custom website or multiple website tools combined, having a Klaviyo Partner help you with the transition can be a huge benefit as you will likely encounter situations that are a nightmare to fix, or can cause problems down the line.
Takeaway 4
Automated email sequences based on user behavior are a huge driver. Set your flows, triggers, and conditional splits based on your user behaviour.
Takeaway 5
Centralize your data.
Make things easy on yourself & your team for things like reporting, understanding your consumers – with Klaviyo’s easy segmentation you can see at a glance the levels of engagement subscribers have with emails, levels of customer loyalty, and also see other info about customers through integrations with other platforms.

You Say It Best...
The results are in. Our clients report more conversions, more customer lifetime value, and more bottom-line profit.
Thank you for all of your help Rocket team, we’ve sold at least a couple thousand which is amazing for preorders. So grateful. Ended up going #1 for cookbooks in Canada, and the #2 book sold in the country, then #2 for all cookbooks in the US, and cracked the top 100 books sold. Wowww. Huge part of this were the emails and landing page. I had so many replies to the emails. Hopefully can keep the momentum going, but I am floored by the service you provide and the results. You guys delivered way above my expectations. I really am so grateful.
Working with Rocket is FANTASTIC! So fantastic, actually, that we are selling out and we had to order more, much sooner than we planned on. It seems like we need to scale up production if we continue advertising at this rate - which is awesome! And we're working on doing that now. Thank you for all your help Rocket team!
We have been working with Rocket since 2020. I highly recommend working with Rocket Conversions if you want an expert digital ads team to help you grow. Lars and his team guides us in marketing initiatives and develops excellent strategies to increase our return on investment. The guys at Rocket are also excellent at listening to our feedback, collaborating with us and responding quickly. It’s a pleasure working with Lars, Steve & the Rocket team. Great strategies, great ads, great results.
Working with Rocket is excellent. Lead price has come way down, and feedback from the sales team is the leads are very good, having a lot of good conversations, and definitely getting buyers with money on the phone. The lead quality in general has been very very good. I've had no complaints from my sales teams, all saying that the leads have been of a high standard, bringing a lot of prospects who are buyers, and in the market looking for property to invest or buy for their own use. So thank you very much for your efforts in sorting the audiences. Working with Rocket is brilliant because we really nailed down a number of solutions to problems I felt we were having with our lead gen, and my team and I have a lot of confidence to move forward with our next developments. We had our highest sales months on record while working with the Rocket guys, which was a build-up from the start of all the work we do together, so massive thank you there.
Rocket Conversions was the right choice for us for three reasons:
Number 1: Mastery. These guys know the art & science of both business & marketing, and are never, ever afraid to step back, look at the big picture and do whatever it takes - a tweak or a reinvention - to get results.
Number 2: Unexpected services. Consultation on copywriting, design, marketing strategy, but also on business fundamentals. All offered with a smile and well-executed.
Number 3: Incredibly reasonable rates. You may find cheaper firms, but you won't find a better return on your social media advertising dollar.
Most recommended.
We sought out Rocket Conversions to help us identify opportunities in our paid social ads, optimize our ad content and provide direction for a long term strategy. The team was quick to test and define exactly what we needed to do to strengthen our execution and increase our ROAS. Overall a very pleasant experience working with Rocket as the team was very professional, attentive and communicative throughout the whole process!
We got in touch with Rocket Conversions to help with our ad campaigns, and Steve and his team have been great to work with from the start. They’ve been transparent, punctual and efficient in the way they work, and we’re seeing some great results. I look forward to continuing working with them.
Steve and the Rocket team came at the best possible time! After wasting almost $30k on companies that promised but never delivered, I was at my wits end! He came highly recommended from a friend, I must say given my past experience I was skeptical, but then I met Steve :). Not only did he know exactly how to identify my problems but he gave me the solutions and a step by step plan to fix them. He gave me loads of value upfront so I knew I was in good hands! I'm happy to say I consider Steve and Rocket not only my marketing wizards/saviours but also good friends now too! Rocket took the reins, fixed our issues and in less than 2 weeks we were getting not only high-quality leads, but also more than we knew what to do with!! We now have a team of 6 sales reps and are helping to line Zuckerberg's pockets with $30k every month + and growing fast. Thanks again to Steve and the Rocket team!
Steve and his team entered our project at the right moment! We had no direction with our brand strategy, our conversion focused marketing, our customer retention, and many other elements of our business. The Rocket team came in and provided the direction and execution we needed, and they continue to support us in getting the pieces together with a clear and systematic marketing and operational methodology. For me, Steve and the Rocket team are diamonds in the rough, the right partner if you want to strategically grow now, and long-term. Their expertise and solutions far exceeded our expectations. Overall, they give us the confidence to tackle the marketing challenges we are facing on our journey to disrupt the market with our solution.
As a new fashion brand, we were trying to work our way through with no results for a long time, until we found Steve and the team. Working with the Rocket team has been a most pleasant experience! Their dedication and passion for helping businesses grow really shines through in their unrivaled customer support and attentiveness to the specific needs of our business. We look forward to a long lasting and prosperous relationship!
