Performance Activewear Brand

Migrating a Performance Activewear Brand from Listrak to Klaviyo

Replatforming a high-velocity lifecycle program off an inflexible legacy ESP with zero revenue disruption — and improving every flow in the process.

The Challenge

The brand was running its email and SMS program on Listrak, a legacy ESP that had become a ceiling on what the team could ship. Automation was inflexible, complex flows were hard to build and harder to optimize, and the platform couldn’t support the velocity of campaigns the brand needed to drive revenue at its scale. The migration target was Klaviyo — not the typical “scaling up” migration path, but the right strategic call for a brand whose team needed flexibility, speed, and direct integration with their Shopify-centered tech stack more than they needed enterprise-tier complexity.

The Approach's

Replicated and improved every flow rather than lift-and-shift

A migration is the single best opportunity a lifecycle program will ever get to fix what isn’t working. We audited every Listrak flow, rebuilt them in Klaviyo with current best practices, and improved performance on each in the process.

Integrated 13 external data tools into the new Klaviyo + Shopify stack

The ecosystem around the ESP — reviews, loyalty, subscription, helpdesk, attribution, and more — had to come over cleanly. We mapped and tested every integration before cutover.

Used the migration as a list hygiene event

Migrations are also the only moment a brand can credibly clean its list at scale without losing engagement signal. We hygiened the database during migration, dropped unengaged contacts that were dragging deliverability, and emerged with a healthier, more responsive list.

The Outcome

The migration completed without a single minute of revenue disruption — the bar for any ESP move at this scale. The new program is more flexible, the team is faster, and the list is healthier than it was on Listrak.Most importantly, the brand now has an ESP that won’t be the bottleneck on the next phase of growth.

“Most migrations get judged on whether they finished. The better question is whether the program is stronger on the other side. That’s the only one that matters 6 months later.”
