Klaviyo Releases 2022 Black Friday Cyber Monday Data

Platform helped businesses drive over $2 billion in revenue over five day holiday shopping weekend

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Klaviyo, a data-driven email and SMS platform for e-commerce businesses, today released its 2022 Black Friday Cyber Monday data insights. Over the five days between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, Klaviyo helped brands send over 10 billion messages, and drive over $2 billion in revenue on their e-commerce stores, a 46% increase from 2021.

“While we used to see big spikes on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's truly become a five day shopping spree. Not only did consumers start shopping earlier, they were willing to spend more, even amid inflation concerns,” said Andrew Bialecki, co-founder and CEO of Klaviyo. “On Thanksgiving, brands using Klaviyo delivered 42% more messages, and shoppers spent 37% more on Klaviyo message-powered orders than they did last year. What matters most to us is that as costs of customer acquisition rise, brands on our platform are able to drive more revenue without wasting their profit margins on ad platforms.”
