Create targeted email flows from Klaviyo

Hey everyone! We're excited to announce some cool updates for Klaviyo:

  • Personalized referral emails with Klaviyo segmentation - Send self-signup, invitation, reminder and reward emails from Klaviyo instead of ReferralCandy! Use our specific custom properties in Klaviyo to create segments, customize flows and targeted email campaigns. For example, send different emails to drive first or subsequent referrals. 
  • Embed reward coupon code, expiry date & more - We now pass more referral specific information for you to customize. For example, when your advocate earns a reward, you can embed their discount coupon code in Klaviyo emails
  • Greater flexibility & control - Want to send all referral emails from Klaviyo? Once you’ve set it up in Klaviyo, you can now turn off reminder & post-signup emails in our email settings. (Soon, you'll also be able to send the manual invite to past customers from Klaviyo).

🚀 Here's a full list of help articles to try out the newly upgraded Klaviyo. 

Customize your friend landing page

From now on, you have more control over the look and feel of your friend landing page! We apply your logo and brand color automatically - suiting your brand and encouraging referred friends to click through your site!

The Friend Landing Page is where referred friends are taken to once they link on a referral link. Click 'Shop now', and they get redirected to your store with the coupon code applied at checkout.

Reminder Email Improvements

Reminder emails are a great nudge to entice advocates to refer. At the same time, we don't want to bombard your customers' inbox with too many emails and get marked as spammy 🤧

To solve this, you now have more control over the send rules of reminder emails! For example:

  • # of referrals: Once X referrals are reached, stop sending reminder emails to that advocate
  • Limit # of emails: Once X reminder emails have been sent, stop sending reminder emails to that advocate

💌 Only applicable for merchants who use ReferralCandy as their email platform.

Let's boost your email deliverability 🚀

We just released a powerful feature called custom email domains! Now, your outgoing emails can be changed from ReferralCandy's default postman@candymail.com to your dedicated domain like referrals@yourstorename.com.

It consists of 2 quick steps: 1) verify sender email and 2) domain authentication.


What's in it for me?

  • Better email deliverability: domain authentication shows email providers like Gmail that the email sender is the owner of the domain. This makes it more likely that emails get to your recipient's inbox! 
  • More control over branding: the "via candymail.com" will no longer appear after you complete the 2nd step.

If you're a..

  • New merchant: we recommend setting this up before you launch your campaign.
  • Existing merchant: if you've already launched your campaign without custom email domains, you can always change the settings.
  • Merchant using Klaviyo or MailChimp: this won't affect you as you are not using ReferralCandy's default email provider.

A fresh look for the dashboard 🔮

Teaser alert! In a few weeks, you'll get a clean, modern look to the dashboard design. Along with the fresh look, this is essentially a change from the inside out where we set the stage to streamline our internal process to push features faster ⚡ 

Think new reward types, better integrations with email tools (ex. Klaviyo, MailChimp), and targeted customer emails to maximize first and repeated referrals.

How does this work? We have moved to a leaner tech stack and significantly reduced technical debt by introducing a new design system. Basically, our engineers and designers can save tons of time with this change.

📍 We plan to eventually transition all users to this dashboard in the coming weeks. Don't worry, all the features you love and use will still exist 🥳

A/B test your post-purchase emails 💌

Your post-purchase email is one of the key opportunities to get your customers to refer their friends to your store. Your customers are more likely to refer others after they have bought your products or even tried them. And the right post-purchase email can nudge them to take action.

You can now optimize your post-purchase email by A/B testing the email. You can experiment with different subject lines, email content, and button texts to see which gets more clicks, thereby improving the performance of your referral program.
