# Black Friday email with Product Agents

Seven agents for Klaviyo. Turn Black Friday buyers into customers who come back.

## A hundred people buy from you that week

68 of them had not bought from you in the previous twelve months, and they brought 67% of the weekend's revenue. Only 4 had also bought from you the Black Friday before.

## Watch, decide, send

Product Agents are Hello Retail's always-on AI agents for Klaviyo. They check every customer against every product, and decide per person what to send and when.

The agents

## Seven agents for Klaviyo

Three work on what somebody already bought: Replenishment Reminder, Recommended Addons and Alternative Picks. Four work on what a price drop makes newly worth saying: Price Drop for a viewed product, an alternative product, a complementary product, and a purchased replenishment.

The season

## One setup, three phases

In October and November the agents build the audience your discounts can reach, and you pick the discounts. During the week they turn every qualifying price drop into individual emails, and you run your campaigns as planned. In December and January they work every order the week placed, and you do nothing. Pick a phase.

## One discount, four audiences

The four are the shopper who viewed this exact cream, the shopper who viewed a similar cream, the customer who bought it before, and the customer who owns the cleanser it pairs with. A rule finds only the first. Flip the switch.

One price drop

Face cream, now 30% off

Who hears about it

A rule reaches one of the four. The other three wanted to know too.

## One agent email per person per day

However many agents qualify for the same customer on the same morning, only one, the most relevant, goes out.

You can make it stricter, layer your own frequency limits on top, and pause or restart any agent with the same toggle.

After Black Friday

## One order, three follow-ups

An espresso machine and two bags of beans, bought in November. In December the descaler follows, January's sale reaches the beans they already repurchase, and in February the beans run low. Step through it.

65 to 80%

more items in each order from the customers who came back, and a typical order worth about a quarter more. The buyer you keep is a better buyer than the one you acquired.

## Does this fit your catalog?

Product Agents run on Klaviyo, so that is the usual starting point. After that, two questions: do your prices move, and do your products get bought again?

Customer

They're just running in the background, bringing in solid, quiet revenue that we would have lost otherwise.
