Klaviyo List Cleaning
Is having a large database seen as a positive? A company could have a database size of 1,000,000 subs but are they all active, engaged profiles? In this article, we go over the benefits of Klaviyo List Cleaning keeping your customer database in check. With small tweaks, can make incremental changes!
Defining email list cleaning
Data cleansing is the exercise of going through all the data within a database and either updating or removing information. List cleaning will keep your list(s) in check ensuring you have the most relevant, high-quality data available to you to use.
Benefits of list cleaning
Improved IP reputation
IP is tied to the specific server you’re sending from. The reputation of your IP address is directly linked to the impact on the deliverability of email reach to inboxes. Providing a list cleansing will increase deliverability and open rates, and as a result, will have a greater reputable IP. Having a good track record with a very low spam rate will be rarely marked with the spam filter.
Decrease in unsubscribe rates
Removing inactive email addresses and sending more targeted emails to engaged profiles will demonstrate a more noticeable advantage when it comes to results.
Removing hard and soft bounces
If there’s a bounce rate of over 2%, there needs to be a serious deep dive into list cleaning. Klaviyo can automatically suppress profiles that soft bounce after several consecutive occasions. With the help from Klaviyo, it would be beneficial to exclude these individuals after four consecutive emails. This will be beneficial when creating an audience segmentation and profiling certain individuals for specific campaigns.
Improved performance metrics
Improve email marketing metrics by removing inactive/invalid email addresses. This will paint a better picture when it comes to what is and isn’t working when targeting the right customers. This data can prove vital when A/B testing emails.
High conversion rates
Sending emails to a higher engaging audience ultimately leads to increased conversion rates.
Cost
List cleaning is a cost-effective exercise as platforms charge based on database size. Thus suppressing or removing individuals from the database can lead to a lower pricing model. Further, a merchant can refine the database, send more targeted emails to fewer individuals, and increase the return on investment.
