Case studies · VYBES · Premium streetwear

How VYBES added $276,967 per month from email and SMS in 6 months.

A premium rhinestone streetwear brand, a list that was being burned with discount blasts, and a rebuild that took email and SMS from 28% to 45% of total revenue. Every number below comes straight from Klaviyo.

When VYBES first came to us, their emails were basic, off-brand, and completely out of sync with their premium rhinestone pieces. Every send was just another discount code. No story, no build-up, and no real showcase of the quality behind the brand, which capped email revenue at around $41,000 per month.

We rebuilt everything inside Klaviyo: a proper flow stack, better segmentation, and campaign calendars built around drops, content, and culture, not just discounts. Every send was redesigned to feel like VYBES: bold, premium, and worth opening.

The calendar is what most streetwear brands get wrong. VYBES sells drops and identity, not discounts, so we built the rhythm around launches: teaser sends that build the story, launch-day campaigns, education emails about heavyweight cotton and heat-pressed rhinestones, styling content, and last-chance sends with honest deadlines. Discount campaigns still exist, but they are events with names and rules, not a weekly apology to the list.

Six months in, email and SMS attributed revenue sat at $318,501 per month, 45% of a store that had itself grown from $149k to $711k per month. During Black Friday week alone, the same audience produced $130,757 from email and SMS, 57% of that week's total revenue.

Month by month it looked like this. Month one: audit, segmentation rebuild, and the full flow stack live, welcome through winback. Months two and three: the drop calendar took over, with teaser and launch sequences replacing the weekly discount blast, and the first SMS sends layered in. Months four to six: compounding, with A/B tests on heroes and offers every week and the BFCM machine built on top of an already-warm list.

Inside the program today: eight live flows led by a checkout abandonment sequence that answers sizing and shipping questions instead of nagging, a campaign calendar that ships three to four sends a week between drops and daily sends during them, and an SMS layer reserved for launch moments and last-hours deadlines. Every hero is built on the same rule we published in our hero checklist: one message, offer above the fold, one obvious next step. The 19 designs in the gallery are pulled straight from this calendar.

What this means for brands like this

For streetwear and drop-based brands, the lesson is that your list is not a discount channel, it is your hype channel. The audience already wants the story, the fit pics, and first access; emails that deliver those earn attention that discounts can never buy back. If your sends look like everyone else's 10% off template while your product sells identity, that gap between 28% and 45% of revenue is sitting in your Klaviyo unclaimed.
