Can anyone suggest me best email marketing for shopify store

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner seeks recommendations for email marketing tools. One respondent emphasizes that “best” depends on specific business needs and suggests doing independent research rather than relying on generic advice.

Platform recommendations provided:

  • Klaviyo: Highlighted as best overall for Shopify with deep integration, powerful automation (abandoned cart, welcome series), and strong segmentation capabilities
  • Omnisend: Positioned as beginner-friendly with combined SMS/email features and easier learning curve
  • Privy: Recommended for list-building through popups and exit-intent tools
  • Shopify Email: Suggested for basic newsletters, especially for beginners on a budget

Free plan viability discussed:
The original poster asks whether Klaviyo’s free tier (250 contacts, 500 emails/month) can generate profitable results. A response confirms it’s viable by prioritizing high-intent flows (welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase), focusing on quality contacts over quantity, and optimizing regularly.

“best” is a nebulous marketing term and any genuine analysis would require a matching level of genuine effort in providing specific context of the business requirements.

Just do the research

Is it possible for an entrepreneur in Shopify who does not have much money to put into good use Klaviyo’s $0 subscription plan (which allows one to have a maximum of 250 email addresses and send up to 500 emails every month) for formulating profitable email sequences e. g. welcome series or abandoned cart recovery that would boost sales at zero expenses?

Absolutely — Klaviyo’s free plan is perfect for bootstrapping entrepreneurs if you use it smartly. Here’s how you can make it work:

1. Prioritize your sequences:
With 250 contacts and 500 emails/month, focus on high-intent flows like:

  • Welcome series (2–3 emails)
  • Abandoned cart (1–2 emails)
  • Post-purchase follow-up (1 email)

That alone can bring in revenue without paid ads.

2. Clean list = more profit per contact:
Don’t collect emails just for the sake of numbers. Make sure your popups/forms attract interested buyers (not freebie hunters). Quality over quantity matters more when your list is capped.

3. Use personalization and urgency:
Even on the free plan, you can add product recommendations, dynamic names, or countdown-style urgency. These things push action and increase conversion without spending a dime.

4. Optimize regularly:
Check open/click/purchase rates every week. Drop underperforming emails. Your limit is 500 emails, so make each one count.

I’ve helped stores turn just 100–200 email subscribers into $500–$2,000 months using flows like this. If you want help setting it up profitably within your free limit, I’d be happy to jump in and help you get started.

@mnyniraula please recognize the questions your asking are not gonna get genuine analysis only sycophantic AI generated answers telling you what you want to hear that just reflect keywords you’ve used.
Which you could get by using chatgpt directly and skip the waiting and the middlemen.

Do the initial research to figure out DEEP questions, or consult an expert directly to get genuine analysis or you will make a costly mistake following AI advice.

I trust Shopify. The native Email App + Shopify flow is sufficient for 99% of marketing activities.

Yes, its is possible email marketing affordable though Klaviyo free trial plan. You can get that from klaviyo.com.

What’s your conclusion?

The two best email marketing tools for online stores are Klaviyo, which is great for bigger stores that want smart, automated emails and Brevo which is simple , budget friendly and can send both emails and SMS for smaller or growing shops.

I’ll add my two cents here. Klaviyo can get pretty expensive for new Shopify stores, so it’s not always the best starting point. One alternative worth considering is CartSaver. It generates personalized videos for your email flows, which can be a big driver for conversion rates. The AI sets up all the flows for you, and there’s a solid library of templates, so it’s easy even if you’re not experienced with email marketing.

If you’re not looking for anything video-focused, Omnisend or even Shopify Email can be good options too. That said, specialized apps often deliver better conversion rates simply because they offer more tailored features.

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of CartSaver, so I’m biased but I genuinely believe it can make a meaningful difference for newer stores.
