Retention-Focused Email Marketing for Ecom Brands
Our KeepFlow™ Method powers high-retention email & SMS strategies for ecom brands; so the first sale is never the last.
The KeepFlow™ Method
The KeepFlow™ Method is our signature approach to retention marketing, built to turn one-time buyers into lifelong customers.
It’s more than just automated emails and text messages. KeepFlow™ is a structured, data-backed strategy that aligns every email and SMS touchpoint with your brand’s goals and your customer’s journey.
At Uptive, every message is optimized to boost customer lifetime value (CLV), increase repeat purchase, deepen brand loyalty, and drive sustainable revenue.

Testimonials
Email Generated $36,644.92 in 3 Months
Before partnering with Eco Candle, their Klaviyo account was in rough shape. The owner was managing email marketing themselves and could barely keep up. Core flows hadn’t been updated in a long time, email designs were outdated and cluttered (basic layouts with too much information crammed in), deliverability was poor, and emails were mostly sent only during sales.
The first thing we did was focus on the foundation; building five new pop-ups for different audiences, creating new segments, and consistently email engaged segments to stabilize deliverability. From there, we implemented more advanced strategies—launching value-driven email campaigns, A/B testing signup forms, building core flows, and other more advanced flows. The result? Revenue spiked, brand perception improved(all thanks to our designs), and deliverability climbed to nearly 85%.
From 16% to 39% Email-Attributed Revenue in 60 Days
Before partnering with this brand, email was only driving 10–16% of total revenue. Flows weren’t properly set up, campaigns were inconsistent, and emails were built with Klaviyo’s default templates that felt generic and off-brand.
We cleaned the list and fixed deliverability issues (which reduced subscriber count but greatly improved list quality), redesigned emails to better match the brand, updated core flows, and made weekly campaigns a consistent part of the strategy. In just 60 days, email revenue increased from 16% to 39% of total revenue.
Over $90k from product drop campaigns, with a 23% increase in flows
This private label e-commerce brand contacted us to handle campaigns for their product drop, which eventually generated over $90k. We also assisted in polishing existing flows and helped with list hygiene.
“Maryann assisted me with my email marketing flows. She achieved an aesthetic, high-converting design that matches my brand theme, generating over $90,000 USD in revenue!
She also helped clean my email list by removing inactive subscribers and updating my existing flows. Overall, she’s an email marketing gem who consistently overdelivers.”
