Learn how to resend a campaign — or send a campaign with similar content — to those that you know didn't open the original email.
For large groups, the best way to accomplish this is:
- Create a segment of customers that didn't open your email
- Clone the campaign you want to resend
- Send it to this new segment.
You can also resend an email to individual recipients; for details, check out this article on resending Klaviyo emails.
Resending a campaign via SMS is not recommended. From the subscriber's point of view, receiving the same, or even similar, texts can be annoying and lead them to unsubscribe.
Approach this tactic with caution, and do not do this for all of your campaigns. Consistently sending to people who do not open your emails can seriously damage your sender reputation and lead to your emails landing in the spam folder. Consider instead sending to a segment of customers who received the email, but did not purchase.
If you must use this resending technique for an important campaign, only attempt this if you are regularly seeing open rates above 20%. Otherwise, you may further harm your deliverability.
Create a segment
Create a segment with the following conditions:
- What someone has done > Received Email > at least once over all time > where Campaign Name equals EXAMPLE
AND - What someone has done > Opened Email > zero times over all time > where Campaign Name equals EXAMPLE
AND - What someone has done > Clicked Email > zero times over all time > where Campaign Name equals EXAMPLE
Replace "EXAMPLE" with the name of the campaign you want to resend to. These criteria will create a segment of every user in that campaign that didn't receive and open an email.
Resend the campaign
- Clone the campaign you want to resend
- Select the segment you created above, and click Create Copy of Campaign
- Proceed through the remaining steps for creating campaign content and sending
- If scheduling your campaign, make sure to select the Determine recipients at send time option
