Coupon codes are a valuable asset in email marketing, enabling you to offer discounts and incentives to your customers. This guide will walk you through the steps to create and activate coupon codes in Klaviyo.

Whether you’re planning seasonal promotions or aiming to engage customers during key events like Thanksgiving and Christmas, dynamic coupon codes can greatly enhance your email marketing strategy.

The Advantages of Dynamic Coupon Codes

Coupon codes are highly effective at driving conversions and increasing customer engagement. Dynamic coupon codes, in particular, offer distinct benefits, especially when used strategically around seasonal events and important dates like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Mother’s Day. In this section, we’ll explore the advantages of using dynamic coupon codes and why they’re an ideal choice for your email marketing campaigns.

Naming Coupon Codes and Setting Availability

To create coupon codes in Klaviyo, start by navigating to the dashboard and accessing the coupons menu.
