Tips & Best Practices for Dataships Contacts in Klaviyo

Dataships unlock a larger audience of your most engaged contacts - your recent purchasers. These contacts should be nurtured and treated slightly differently than users who may have subscribed early in the funnel (e.g. as part of a pop-up offer). Here are a few tips we have for optimizing these new contacts: 

High-Engaged VIP Audience

Dataships contacts can be seen as a VIP audience:

  • These subscribers are at the peak of engagement, having recently made a purchase and expecting brand interaction.
  • Avoid offering discounts in communications with this group. Instead, focus on loyalty, new launches, and relationship-building content.
  • Use these contacts for targeted campaigns such as feedback surveys, exclusive previews, or community-focused messaging.

A/B Testing Audience

The Dataships audience is ideal for A/B testing as it represents a group of highly engaged, recently verified contacts:

  • Messaging and Copy: Test subject lines, tone, or value propositions.
  • Visual Elements: Experiment with images, layouts, or product placements.
  • Timing: Identify the optimal send times for your audience by testing different schedules.

Since these contacts are collected at checkout and are primed for engagement, testing results will reflect their preferences more accurately and quickly.

Low Volume, High Product Variety

When marketing to Dataships contacts:

  • Send 1-2 campaigns per week to maintain interest without overwhelming them.
  • Promote a mix of new launches, bestsellers, and collections to keep emails fresh and engaging.
  • Use multi-product or collection-focused emails to offer variety, maximizing engagement without risking unsubscribe rates.
