  2. Want to Increase Revenue? Maximize Klaviyo Email Remarketing with Elevar


    Calling all Shopify Plus merchants – here’s a quick win: if you already have Klaviyo and Elevar in your tech stack, with just a few tweaks to your setup and no developer required, you could significantly increase your revenue. What is this magical solution? It’s a numbers game. If you’re not already leveraging Elevar for Klaviyo, it’s likely that a percentage of consumers are slipping through the “tracking cracks” who should have been funneled into your remarketing flows. Compound that over time and you can see how these multiple missed opportunities could be impacting your bottom line.
