Context

About Omnisend

Omnisend is an e-commerce marketing automation platform that provides APAC Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce retailers with email marketing, SMS marketing, push notifications, and automated customer journey flows — all from a single platform and at a price point significantly below Klaviyo's enterprise pricing, making Omnisend the practical choice for APAC e-commerce businesses at $100K–$5M annual revenue that want e-commerce marketing automation without Klaviyo's complexity and cost.

Omnisend's e-commerce automation flows — pre-built customer journey workflows that trigger based on purchase behaviour, cart abandonment, browse activity, and customer lifecycle events — are the core value for APAC e-commerce teams wanting marketing automation without the custom workflow engineering that Klaviyo requires. Omnisend ships with production-ready automation workflows: welcome series for new subscribers (with a discount code on email 2), abandoned cart recovery (3-message sequence over 24 hours with increasing discount incentive), post-purchase follow-up (review request at day 7, repurchase prompt at day 30 for consumables), and win-back campaigns for customers inactive for 90+ days.

Omnisend's multi-channel approach — which delivers the same automation workflow message through email, SMS, and push notification channels based on configurable channel prioritisation rules — enables APAC e-commerce teams to reach customers through their preferred communication channel without building separate email and SMS automation workflows. An abandoned cart workflow in Omnisend sends the first recovery message via email, sends an SMS reminder to customers who didn't open the email within 2 hours, and sends a push notification to customers who haven't responded to either — from a single configured workflow.

Omnisend's e-commerce data integration — native Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce integrations that sync product catalogue, customer purchase history, browse behaviour, and cart events — enables APAC e-commerce teams to personalise Omnisend email content with customer-specific product recommendations, purchase history references, and loyalty point balances without custom data pipeline engineering. The deep native e-commerce integration is what differentiates Omnisend from general-purpose email platforms (Mailchimp) that require custom integration work to access the e-commerce behaviour data that powers effective retention marketing.

Omnisend's APAC relevance includes support for localised email content (multilingual templates for Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia markets), SMS delivery through APAC carrier networks, and pricing denominated in USD at rates affordable for APAC e-commerce companies operating in markets with lower average order values than US benchmarks assume.
