Scaling a subscription retention program past $200K/month
The challenge
Campaigns went to broad, loosely-qualified audiences — dragging open rates down and putting sender reputation at risk — while the flows that should anchor a subscription business needed tighter architecture and measurement.
What I did
Rebuilt the audience strategy around engaged-only segmentation, protected and tuned the reorder automation rather than altering it casually, added a disciplined non-opener retry, and tied every change to monthly revenue and deliverability reporting.
- Sustained $200K+/month in Klaviyo-attributed revenue, reaching a new high near $294K
- Open rate climbed from ~29% to over 50%; campaign revenue nearly tripled after re-segmenting
- Flows drive 60–80% of email revenue, led by a single reorder flow at a ~30% placed-order rate
- Deliverability stayed healthy even at higher volume
