Restated from the audit

Why this week, this cohort.

1,598 of your customers bought from you once, then stopped. They're not dormant — they just don't know what to buy next.

These 1,598 people have only ordered once. Their lifetime value is $78, but they haven't bought again because the next step isn't obvious. The industry benchmark for a product education sequence is a 0.5% placed-order rate. That's roughly 8 customers back at $140 each — the $672 line in your audit. This week, we send three emails to explain SilverStick - Slim's role in their setup.

Three emails over seven days to the same 1,598 customers, each explaining a different aspect of SilverStick - Slim. The first establishes its core function. The second differentiates it from alternatives. The third reinforces why it's worth repurchasing. No discounts — the goal is to build product understanding, not discount dependency.

Why this product now

4846 observed customer touches establish SilverStick - Slim as the dominant cohort product requiring clearer value explanation

Belief to change

That SilverStick - Slim doesn't solve a unique problem beyond their current solution

Objection

Unclear differentiation from similar products

SilverStick - Slim to Slim Cotton Filters - 100 Count category-jump test
Rev 3 · Conf 2 · Proof 2 · Risk 3 · Spec 4

Rejected because the computed brief has a stronger product path.

Percent-off SilverStick - Slim discount
Rev 3 · Conf 3 · Proof 1 · Risk 4 · Spec 2

Rejected because generic discount is blocked by the computed brief.

SilverStick - Slim proof-capture pilot
Rev 2 · Conf 1 · Proof 1 · Risk 5 · Spec 3

Rejected as a launch; only proof capture is defensible.

The reasoning
01
Product education gap

One-time buyers lack understanding of SilverStick - Slim's core functionality and differentiation from alternatives. Education builds confidence for repeat purchase.

02
Objection handling

Buyers question whether SilverStick - Slim solves a unique need not addressed by their current solutions. Copy must answer 'What makes this different?'

03
Catalog anchoring

SilverStick - Slim serves as the primary education anchor based on 4,846 observed customer touches in cohort data.

§ W4 · Setup 01 of 03 · The parent segment

Build this first — once

The parent segment every touch points at.

A segment is a saved filter that auto-groups the right customers — build it carefully once and the rest of the week references it. Spend ten minutes here.

Klaviyo segment should show roughly this number after you save.
✓ How to check
After saving, the preview should show around 1,598 people. If not, check the rule syntax.
Build this segment the day before sending touch 1 to ensure it's current.
§ W4 · Setup 02 of 03 · Tag every send
06 / 15
So your reporting works

Name campaigns and tag links the same way every time.

Two short codes that turn anonymous "clicks" into "clicks from week 1 touch 2." Without them, the scorecard at the end of the week can't tell which touch did the work.

Naming convention
W4 · T{n} · SilverStick
Why
Consistent naming lets us track performance accurately across the week.
How
When creating each campaign, use the code exactly, replacing {n} with the touch number.
✓Check: Check your Klaviyo campaigns list — all three should appear with the correct names.
UTM template
utm_source=klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=w4_education_t{n}
Why
UTMs tell Google Analytics which touch drove each click and order.
How
Paste this template in Klaviyo's UTM settings for each campaign, replacing {n} with the touch number.
✓Check: Preview each email and hover over links — the URL should end with the correct UTM string.
§ W4 · Setup 03 of 03 · Guardrails
07 / 15
Four things that quietly break the week

Pin these to the wall before you hit send.

Each guardrail is a small habit. Skip one and the week's numbers get harder to read at the end — not impossible, just noisier than they need to be.

01
Use the same from-name for all emails to ensure inbox threading.
02
Don't schedule touches 2-3 until the previous touch has sent — their audiences depend on engagement data.
03
Pause other campaigns targeting this segment during the 7-day period to avoid overlap.
04
If the parent segment size is not around 1,598, stop and troubleshoot before sending.

Send a preview to yourself, click every link, then check GA4 Realtime — the click should show up within thirty seconds with the campaign tag attached. Then schedule. Klaviyo locks the audience list at send time; building the segment earlier is fine, sending earlier is not.

What we expect, what to compare against.

Each row is a metric we'll track. Projected is what we believe this campaign will hit; benchmark is the industry-average comparison point. The gap (the lift column) is where the cohort-warming logic shows up — these aren't strangers, they're 3+ time buyers.
