Omnisend vs. Klaviyo pricing explained. Sometimes email marketing providers raise their prices to confuse customers that the higher price means that they are providing more value to their customers. That's very often not the case. In this video, we will go over the most recent Klaviyo pricing increase and discuss what that means to you as a customer and why you are better off by going with Omnisend.

Email Builder

  • Edit the menu item in a few clicks. You need to click on the section you want to change → change the name → change the link. You can also add additional sections using Add new item button on the right side menu.

  • Paddings for items. You no longer need to look into that emptiness of space in your emails; now, you can control padding for any item (except Image and Video) you want.

  • Align all product image sizes with just one click. Also, if you want to remove paddings from product images - remove them from one, and the change will be applied to all products in the product listing!

  • Edit font size and font family. By selecting specific text inside a text item, you can change its font family and size on the right-side panel.

  • New layout option called Side-by-side for Product listing items. By selecting a side-by-side layout for any Product listing block (Abandoned products, Product recommender, and Back in stock), the product image will be on the left side of other product details.

Form Builder

  • Schedule your signup forms. Long-term projects require careful planning of time and resources. Building promotional holiday signup forms or running time-sensitive sales or events can benefit significantly from the well-planned scheduling of your signup forms. In Form Builder, go to → Behaviour settings Scheduling. Choose when to start showing the form and when to turn it off. The options include: always showing the form, selecting a start date, selecting an end date, and selecting start and end days.

  • More templates! Four new templates are now available for landing pages on the New Form Builder. One of them will match your brand style. Check them out here.

  • Start your Christmas marketing preparation with our warm and cozy templates for the upcoming Christmas holidays. Find them here 🎄🎅.

  • Set up the auto-redirect in the Success or Subscribed section. You can now set the auto-redirect in your landing page so that the visitor is automatically redirected to the desired page after subscribing. You can redirect them to your store or any other link.

  • Embedded forms can now be built in Form Builder. Collect email and customer-related information such as birth date, phone number, or custom data. Add the wheel of fortune into the embedded form to make it gamified.

  • Back in Stock forms can now be built in Form Builder. It can be a popup or an embedded form. You can target it for only a specific out-of-stock product page and customize it to the full extent of the builder's capabilities.

  • Items padding management is available for all items in the form. This allows you to adjust the spaces between two items and decrease the height of the form.

  • Easily migrate your landing pages, embedded and back-in-stock forms, to the New Form Builder with the "Open in The New Builder" button. Click the button, adjust the form if needed, and turn on your form. Also, do not forget to disable the old form and change the link of the landing page or snippet of the embedded form if you have it posted somewhere.

  • New Item. The radio button Item can be found in the left side panel, and you can easily drag&drop it anywhere in the form. Radio buttons can be mapped to gender and custom property. You can start collecting your customers' gender or any other custom data with this Item. If you select Custom Property type, you can choose existing custom properties or create a new one by simply typing its name.

Dashboard

  • Event-based Live View. The data shown in the Live View can be filtered based on the different events. You can filter results by any event type you want. You can go one step further and get information about the exact action performed by the customer.
