Cinch vs. Klaviyo

Klaviyo Isn’t for Local Business—Cinch Is

Limited Creative

Tired of outdated marketing templates with no room for customization? Wish you had more channels?

What Do Other B2C Leaders Have to Say?

Cinch was built from the ground up to support strategic B2C businesses to increase customer lifetime value. See how we deliver.

“Klaviyo worked OK, but it was very much e-commerce focused. We couldn’t manipulate it the way we needed. We moved from Klaviyo to Cinch, and it’s definitely worked out better. With Cinch, we can send postcards, emails, and texts in a more calculated way.   

At the end of the month, when we’re not on track for revenue, I can put together an email in just 30 minutes, segment the right guests, and we’ll see car count impact the next day. It’s been a huge win.”

Jay Ferrick

Marketing Manager, Oilstop

“Cinch replaced Klaviyo for us, and we’ve found its capabilities and interface to be superior in nearly every way. The addition of direct mail and SMS has been awesome.  

If you’re looking for more data and communication options, I would give Cinch a look.”

Brad Staples

Former VP of Marketing, Vooray
