The brief

Pura Vida—a globally loved lifestyle brand known for its handcrafted jewelry and colorful aesthetic—turned to Roswell to help evolve and scale its email marketing program. As the brand matured, its team wanted a smarter retention engine that could balance strong visual storytelling with data-driven performance.

Roswell partnered with Pura Vida to build a more intentional Klaviyo strategy across both campaigns and flows, focused on increasing engagement, segmentation, and overall lifecycle revenue.

The approach

We started with a comprehensive audit of Pura Vida’s Klaviyo performance across flows and campaigns, identifying areas where personalization, timing, and content relevance could be improved.

From there, we implemented a multi-pronged strategy:

  • Refreshed email flows (Welcome, Abandonment, Post-Purchase, Sunset) with new logic, targeting, and creative
  • Introduced deeper segmentation and audience filtering across campaigns to drive smarter send strategies
  • Conducted consistent A/B testing on subject lines, creative, CTAs, and timing
  • Aligned all flows with Pura Vida’s brand voice and product drops—focusing on turning one-time buyers into loyal fans
