Customer profile enrichment
Go from basic contact information to complete, actionable customer insights
What is customer profile enrichment?
Customer profile enrichment is the process of building comprehensive customer profiles that include more than basic contact information. It combines data from every customer touchpoint to create a single, real-time view of each person who interacts with your brand.

With customer profile enrichment, your view of the customer goes far beyond a simple email address or phone number. Profiles are populated with deep insights like purchase history, browsing behavior, predicted customer lifetime value (LTV), channel preferences, and more. You understand not just who your customers are, but what they want, when they want it, and how they prefer to engage.

Why does customer profile enrichment matter?

Generic marketing doesn’t work anymore. Customers expect personalized experiences that feel relevant to their individual needs and preferences.

Customer profile enrichment makes this possible by giving you the data foundation you need for true personalization. Ideally, customer profile enrichment happens automatically as customers interact with your brand. Each click, purchase, and engagement adds another layer of insight, creating profiles that become more valuable over time.

With enriched customer profiles, you can send messages that feel more personal, and use AI-powered predictive insights to:

  • Identify behavioral changes before they happen so you can adjust your messaging proactively.
  • Time your outreach.
  • Choose the right channels for connecting with customers.

How to get started with customer profile enrichment

  1. Connect your data sources. Install Klaviyo’s tracking code and connect your ecommerce store. Customer profiles begin enriching automatically as data flows in from your website and other integrated tools.
  2. Review your merged profiles. Navigate to your unified customer profiles to see how Klaviyo has combined data from every touchpoint into a single view—and, where applicable, how probabilistic matching has merged profiles that likely belong to the same person. Use this view to confirm you’re working with a complete picture of each customer.
  3. Gather more zero-party data. Create sign-up forms, preference centers, and surveys to collect customer interests, preferences, and attributes directly from your audience—like favorite product categories, communication frequency, or lifestyle details. This zero-party data enriches profiles beyond what behavior alone can tell you.
  4. Enrich profiles with AI/ML. Let Klaviyo’s AI do the rest. As customers browse, make purchases, and engage with your messages (opens, clicks), Klaviyo automatically generates insights like channel affinity, predictive LTV, RFM score, and churn risk—no data scientist required. These properties appear on every profile and power smarter segmentation and personalization.
  5. Use enriched data for targeting and personalization. Put your profiles to work. Build segments and trigger flows—like birthday discounts, cross-sell sequences, or win-back campaigns—using behavioral data, predictive insights, and custom properties. Personalize by sending to the channel each customer prefers and by dynamically tailoring content (for example, using a show/hide block conditional on whether someone is an RFM Champion) so every message feels relevant.
  6. Monitor and optimize. Track how enriched profiles improve your marketing performance through better segmentation, personalization, and LTV growth.

Customer profile enrichment transforms scattered data points into a complete understanding of each customer. With Klaviyo, this process happens automatically, giving you the insights you need to build stronger relationships and drive sustainable growth.
