Project Type
Email Marketing Audit + Shopify Integration Review
Description
Identified critical gaps in Fear of God's product data flow between Shopify and Klaviyo. Cart abandonment emails missing product name, size, and collection tags. CTAs link to product pages (7 steps to purchase) instead of checkout (2 steps). Product pages lack breadcrumb navigation and strategic cross-sell merchandising. Recommended Shopify metafield sync for dynamic email content, direct-to-checkout CTAs, and outfit-based product recommendations.


Product Tagging & Merchandising Strategy Gaps
This shows what's missing from their cart emails versus what's missing from product pages. The emails don't tell you what product you're looking at, what size, or even what collection it's from. The product pages waste a ton of space and only show you what you recently clicked on instead of suggesting items that actually go together.

Recommended Solution: Enhanced Product Discovery
Here's what the product page could look like with proper merchandising: breadcrumbs at the top so you know you're in MENS > ESSENTIALS > TOPS, a "Styled With" section showing the full outfit (tee, track jacket, sweatpants), and bigger product photos. This gets built using Shopify metafields that sync to Klaviyo so the emails can pull in the same outfit recommendations.

Suboptimal Send Time Stategy Reducing Email Effectiveness
I compared their two cart recovery emails side by side. The first one is missing all the product details and just says "SHOP NOW," which sends you back to browse the product page instead of finishing your order. Three days later, they send the exact same email again at midnight — same copy, same offer, no reason to act now instead of later.

Product Discovery & Merchandising Gaps Post-Email Click
This breaks down the difference between what's happening now versus what should happen. Right now: you click the email, land on the product page, pick your size again, add to cart, go to cart page, then checkout, then payment, then done — 7 steps. What it should be: click the email, land on checkout with everything already filled in, confirm and pay - 2 steps. I changed the CTA from "SHOP NOW" to "Complete Your Purchase" so it's clear you're finishing an order, not browsing.

Summary & Implementation Plan
This summarizes everything I found, broken into four categories: email operations, checkout experience, email timing, and site merchandising. Each section shows what's broken and how to fix it.
