Building a scalable email system for a dual-audience hospitality platform
The client is an influencer-led hospitality platform that connects travel creators with host properties through collaboration stays. As the platform grew, its email marketing did not evolve at the same pace. All subscribers received the same messages, regardless of whether they were hosts, creators or general users. This lack of structure reduced relevance and engagement, limiting the platform’s ability to convert interest into applications. To support expansion into new markets, the client needed a segmented and automated email system that could communicate effectively with different audience groups.
Generic messaging and lack of automation were limiting engagement and growth
The email programme lacked segmentation, meaning different audience groups received the same content despite having different goals. Engagement levels were low, with open and click rates below expected benchmarks. Campaigns were created manually, slowing down execution and limiting consistency. There was no automated journey for new subscribers or inactive users, resulting in missed opportunities to nurture and re-engage. In addition, the team lacked clear reporting, making it difficult to understand performance or optimise campaigns effectively.
We built a structured Klaviyo system focused on segmentation, automation and insights
IMPLEMENTED CLEAR AUDIENCE SEGMENTATION
We divided the audience into distinct groups, including hosts, creators, high-intent users and inactive subscribers. This allowed for more relevant and personalised communication.
BUILT AUTOMATED LIFECYCLE EMAIL FLOWS
We created automated journeys for onboarding, engagement, follow-ups and reactivation. Each flow used behavioural data to deliver timely and relevant messages.
OPTIMISED CAMPAIGNS AND REPORTING STRUCTURE
We introduced modular templates for faster campaign creation and tested subject lines, layouts and calls to action. Monthly reporting provided clear insights into performance, audience behaviour and content trends.
Improved structure and relevance drove stronger engagement and conversions

Open rates increased from 11% to 38%, reflecting stronger subject lines and audience targeting.
