Book a call List Growth
Book a call TL;DR: Your happiest customers will grow your list for you if you give them a mechanism. Every referred signup effectively doubles the first one.
From the audit vault: From audits of a homeware retailer and a femcare brand: both had passionate customers and no referral mechanic, one ran a third-party referral tool that sat off-brand and outside the email system.
People already talk about products they love; a referral mechanic just captures the conversation. An insert or QR code in every order, a post-purchase email offering something for introducing a friend: each convert makes the list grow twice.
Bolted-on referral tools often live off-brand and off-data: their signups skip your welcome logic and their look breaks trust mid-journey. Build or integrate the mechanic so referred subscribers land in Klaviyo with a source tag and enter a journey built for them.

List Growth
Traffic with no email capture is rented attention. A working pop-up typically captures 8 to 12% of visitors, and a decent welcome flow converts a meaningful slice of them.
List Growth
An open code on the homepage gives the discount away without capturing anything. Every offer should cost the visitor an email address.
List Growth
A single large prize often costs less than a blanket discount and converts cold visitors who were never going to use a coupon.
