Top Klaviyo Q2 2022 Shopping Insights

Klaviyo combined insights from over 300 million global shoppers across more than 80 countries and territories powered by the company’s platform during Q2 2022 – between April 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022. This quarter’s top highlights and trends include:

• Despite ongoing supply chain issues and growing inflation, consumer spending remains strong compared to Q1 of 2022 as average order value has increased 19%.
• As brands are likely responding to increased prices for goods, they are sending 18% fewer discounts than they did in Q1 2022.
• “Back in Stock” alerts are effective – in particular, companies with less than $5M in revenue that sent “Back in Stock” emails saw a 9% increase in order value as compared to last quarter.
• The onset of the summer season appears to be a bullish force on consumer spending. Certain categories are climbing despite rising prices, as the number of orders are up compared to Q1 of 2022 in the following categories:
• Apparel & accessories is up 13%
• Food and Beverage is up 12%
• Jewelry is up 4%
• Health and beauty orders and prices are relatively flat, with the number of orders increasing 2% and average order value increasing 1%. Consumers are placing 2% more orders for home goods than they were in Q1, with average order value up 7%, likely due to rising costs and inflation.
• Consumers placed 5% fewer electronics orders than they did last quarter.
• American consumers are continuing to spend more than consumers in other countries; average order value in the Americas is up 24% compared to 9% in EMEA quarter over quarter and just 2% in APAC.
