Retention marketing for Connecticut Shopify brands.
Email, SMS and lifecycle flows on Klaviyo, Omnisend, Brevo or Attentive, set up for how Connecticut actually buys: Connecticut's 2023 telemarketing law decides how texts can go out, sends land on Eastern Time, and the calendar peaks around the holiday peak, back-to-school and summer shore traffic.

How we work
Six steps, six weeks to live, then monthly.
Each step ends with something written down. If we disappeared after step two you would still have a plan your team could run.
Week 1
We read your account before we touch it.
Where the revenue is leaking
Every flow, every campaign, list health, deliverability, segment logic and the revenue each piece attributes. You get the gaps ranked by money, not by opinion.
- 01Flow-by-flow revenue and send volume
- 02List capture, engagement and suppression health
- 03Deliverability: domains, complaint rate, inbox placement
- 04Segment logic against actual order data
- You get: A written audit with the first 90 days planned.
Week 2
RFM segments from your orders, and a calendar built around your peaks.
Segments and the calendar
Recency, frequency and monetary tiers from real order history; lifecycle stages; a campaign calendar that starts with your seasons, not a template.
- 01RFM and lifecycle segmentation
- 02Offer ladder by segment (who gets a discount, who never does)
- 03Send-time and frequency rules
- 04Campaign calendar for the next quarter
- You get: A strategy document your team can run without us.
Weeks 3–5
The core flows, written and designed for your brand.
Flows and templates
Welcome, browse and cart abandonment, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back and VIP — each with copy, design, timing and the split tests already planned.
- 01Copy and design per flow, on-brand
- 02Trigger, filter and timing logic checked against real orders
- 03Templates your team can reuse for campaigns
- 04SMS steps where they earn their place
- You get: Flows live, documented, with QA screenshots.
Week 6
Ramped sends, warmed domains, no spike.
Go-live without a deliverability hit
New flows go live in stages so engagement stays high and the sending reputation you have is protected. Campaigns start on the calendar from strategy.
- 01Staged rollout by segment
- 02Domain and IP warm-up if needed
- 03First campaigns on the new calendar
- 04Reporting dashboard set up
- You get: Everything running, with a baseline recorded.
Monthly
Subject lines, offers, timing and creative — one variable at a time.
A/B tests with a hypothesis
Every test has a written hypothesis and a minimum sample. Winners roll into the flows; losers are documented so nobody re-tests them.
- 01Subject line and preview text
- 02Offer type and depth by segment
- 03Send time and flow delays
- 04Design and layout variants
- You get: A test log with results and the next tests queued.
Monthly
One report: what each flow and campaign earned, and what changes next.
Revenue, not open rates
Attributed revenue by flow and campaign, list growth, repeat-purchase rate, email and SMS share of store revenue — and the plan for next month.
- 01Revenue by flow and campaign
- 02Repeat rate and LTV movement
- 03List and deliverability health
- 04Next month’s calendar and tests
- You get: A monthly report and a 30-minute review call.
Real retention work
What clients said once the flows were live.
Shopify brands we have built for. The same team and the same flows work for Connecticut brands.
We finally had a welcome series that actually felt like us.
Churn dropped, reviews went up, and repeat orders followed. That was the whole point.
Questions
Retention marketing in Connecticut: questions
Do you work with Connecticut Shopify brands remotely?
Yes. Retention work runs inside your Klaviyo, Omnisend, Brevo or Attentive account and your Shopify order data, so where we sit does not change the build. Calls are booked in Eastern Time, and sends are scheduled on each subscriber's own time zone.
What does Connecticut law change about SMS marketing?
Connecticut telemarketing law (Public Act 23-98) (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 42-284, 42-288a) applies to marketing texts sent to Connecticut numbers. Consent: Prior express written consent that names text messages. Consented and existing-customer messages fall outside the definition. Quiet hours: 9am to 8pm in the recipient's local time, later than the 8am many SMS tools assume. Frequency: No frequency cap. Consent language names text messaging, and Connecticut sends start at 9am Eastern, not 8am.
What time should Connecticut brands send marketing emails and texts?
Texts only inside the legal window in the subscriber's local time: 9am to 8pm in the recipient's local time, later than the 8am many SMS tools assume. For email we test send times per segment rather than guess, starting from mid-morning local time.
When are Connecticut's biggest retail moments?
The holiday peak, back-to-school and summer shore traffic. The sales-tax holiday (Sales Tax Free Week, the third Sunday in August through the Saturday) get their own campaigns. BFCM runs 27-30 November 2026 everywhere.
How much does a retention agency cost for a Connecticut brand?
Tier 1 is $3,500 a month, for brands doing $500K–$2M a year. Tier 2 is $5,500 a month, for scaling brands at $2M+. Every engagement starts with a free 60-minute audit, and the price is the same in every state.
Which platforms do you build on?
Klaviyo, Omnisend, Brevo and Attentive. We build inside the platform you already run on, and we tell you on the audit call if a move would pay for itself.
How long until the flows are live?
About six weeks: audit, strategy, build, launch, then testing and a monthly report. Each step ends with something written down that your team can keep.
Do you only work with Connecticut brands?
No. The same team works with Shopify and DTC brands across the US, the UK, Ireland and Europe. This page covers what is specific to selling to Connecticut customers.
What happens on the free audit?
Sixty minutes with your account open: every flow, campaign and segment read, the gaps ranked by revenue, and a written summary the same day. No pitch deck.
