E-commerce is booming<\/span> as retailers race to transform their brick-and-mortar footprints into online storefronts. By some counts, the market grew an astonishing 42% in 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and estimates show that online spending in the U.S. will surpass $1 trillion by 2022<\/a>. It\u2019s a bonanza, and everyone is figuring out this new terrain.<\/p>\n

Consumers are likely familiar with the front-end brands for these storefronts \u2014 with companies like Amazon, Shopify, Square, and Stripe owning attention \u2014 but it\u2019s the tooling behind the curtain that is increasingly determining the competitiveness of individual stores.<\/p>\n

Klaviyo<\/strong> may not be a household name to consumers (at least, not yet), but in many ways, this startup has become the standard by which email marketers are judged today, triangulating against veterans Mailchimp and Constant Contact and riding the e-commerce wave to new heights.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2012, this Boston-based company helps marketers personalize and automate their email messaging to customers. By now, most people are intimately familiar with these kinds of emails; if you\u2019ve ever given your email address to an online store, the entreaties to come back to your abandoned cart or browse the latest sale are Klaviyo\u2019s bread and butter.<\/p>\n

It may seem obvious in retrospect that email would grow to become a premier platform for marketing, but this wasn\u2019t the case even a few years ago when social ads and search engine marketing were the dominant paradigm. Today, owned marketing and customer experience management are white-hot trends, and Klaviyo has surged from a lifestyle business to a multi-billion dollar behemoth in just a few short years. Its story is at the heart of the internet economy today, and the future.<\/p>\n

TechCrunch\u2019s writer and analyst for this EC-1 is Chris Morrison<\/b>. Morrison, who previously wrote our EC-1 on Roblox<\/a>, has been a writer and independent game developer covering the video game industry and the marketing challenges that come with publishing. As an analyst and a potential user, he\u2019s in a unique position to explain the Klaviyo story. The lead editor for this package was Danny Crichton<\/b>, the assistant editor was Ram Iyer<\/b>, the copy editor was Richard Dal Porto<\/b> and illustrations were created by Nigel Sussman<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Klaviyo had no say in the content of this analysis and did not get advance access to it. Morrison has no financial ties to Klaviyo or other conflicts of interest to disclose.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Klaviyo EC-1 comprises four main articles numbering 9,700 words and a reading time of 43 minutes. Let\u2019s take a look:<\/p>\n
