The challenges B2C marketers face and how Klaviyo’s AI solves them
- Fragmented data and tools: Most brands juggle separate systems for email, SMS, analytics, and service. Klaviyo unifies it all, connecting directly to ecommerce platforms and 350+ integrations for a real-time, 360° customer view.
- Slow, manual campaign execution: Klaviyo AI accelerates every step—building segments, writing copy, choosing channels, and optimizing timing—so marketers can go from idea to launch in minutes.
- Limited resources: With no-code workflows, built-in templates, and automated insights, Klaviyo helps teams deliver personalization at scale—without extra headcount or costly IT projects.
“AI is giving small businesses new tools to punch above their weight—turning everyday marketing into a competitive edge,” said Roger Beharry Lall, research director, Advertising Technologies and SMB Marketing Applications, IDC.
Native AI embedded in your workflows sets Klaviyo apart

- Scale personalization without extra work: Generate on-brand content, flows, and segments instantly, then let Klaviyo AI continuously test, optimize, and improve performance in the background.
Why IDC calls Klaviyo a Leader
IDC highlighted Klaviyo as a Leader for three reasons:
- Depth of AI functionality: Klaviyo doesn’t just offer predictive and generative AI in silos; it embeds them directly into workflows marketers use every day, which IDC calls out as a differentiator for small business adoption.
- Unified platform orientation: Unlike point solutions, Klaviyo combines CRM, CDP, campaign management, and analytics with commerce-first integrations, meeting IDC’s inclusion criteria for marketing orientation and proving traction across multiple channels.
- Proven customer outcomes: IDC notes that Klaviyo’s AI features are not experimental; they are generally available, widely adopted, and delivering measurable value. For example:
- Tata Harper boosted sign-up rates by 65% with AI-powered form optimization
- Every Man Jack drove a 12.4% revenue lift using predictive segmentation
- Meshki increased conversions with dynamic product recommendations
IDC’s recommendation to buyers: look for vendors like Klaviyo that natively embed AI into campaign execution and optimization, ensuring lean teams can scale personalization effectively without added complexity.
