Recognize the shopper. Know when they'll buy.
Then make sure the message is seen.
That's the path to ecommerce success, and Tie runs all three stages from end to end. Mailmend only solves for inbox placement, and lacks the sender reputation repair offered by Tie Priority.
OluKai increased revenue per send by 55%
Wiley X increased Klaviyo flow revenue by 45%
Fair Harbor increased click-through rate by 139%
The one thing Mailmend does, Tie does too — and Tie does more.
Mailmend and Tie Priority share a lane: algorithmic inbox placement that lifts Klaviyo email out of the Promotions tab and into the Gmail Primary inbox.
OluKai had done everything right, clean lists, BIMI, strong sender reputation, and still landed in Promotions. Tie Priority went live as a drop-in Klaviyo block in under 24 hours, then they ran it as a live A/B, same lists, same offers, same timing, with only the placement block changed.
Revenue per send — Promotions tab vs. Primary inbox
OluKai, dozens of A/B tests. Variation A: the original email. Variation B: the same email with Tie Priority's placement block. Only where it landed changed. Promotions-tab revenue is set to an index of 100; the same email in Primary reached 155.
That's the job Mailmend is hired for, and Tie solves it almost instantly. The difference is what happens beyond placement, because getting one email into Primary does not fix why you were in Promotions, and it does nothing about who you send to.
What's worse than Promotions?
Spam.
Landing in Promotions at least means you're landing in an inbox. For many brands, poor sender or domain reputations mean they struggle to stay out of the spam folder. Mailmend acts to get you out of Promotions. But if you're struggling to just stay out of spam, it won't have much effect. Tie Priority folds reputation protection and domain warming into the same product. We run an audit to determine where emails are landing, and make sure you have a strong reputation foundation first. And if reputation ever slips, Tie makes changes automatically, ensuring emails stay visible and revenue stays healthy.
Placement is the last stage. Tie runs the two before it.
Before a message can land, you have to recognize who is on your site and know when they are ready to buy. Mailmend starts at the final stage, and only ever works on the list you already own. Tie runs the whole path on the Tie ID foundation: it recognizes the anonymous shoppers, scores who is about to buy, and enriches every profile, then Priority lands the message. These are the stages a placement tool never reaches.
Know who is actually on your site.
Tie identifies up to 70% of all site traffic and recognizes 90%+ of returning shoppers across devices, turning anonymous visitors into people you can act on. Mailmend never sees the shopper, it only improves placement for the list you already have.
Know who is ready, not just who is listed.
Portland Leather Goods was seeing diminishing returns from sending more emails. With Tie Predict, they focused their sends on just the shoppers ready to buy now, and increased campaign revenue by 18%. Placement treats every address the same. Predict ranks each one by buy-readiness, so budget and sends go where the intent is.
200+ attributes for every profile.
Reputation is determined by engagement, and engagement is determined by relevancy. Tie can attach 200+ demographic Attributes to each identified shopper, so your Klaviyo segments and campaign sends are built on real context, not educated guesses. A placement tool never sees the shopper, only the send.
A placement tool, or the platform that surrounds it.
Mailmend and Tie both move Klaviyo email from Promotions to Primary. The difference is everything on either side of that one step, the reputation underneath it and the list in front of it.
Recognize, know when, get seen
Get seen, only
Mailmend is a focused tool that does one thing, move Klaviyo email from Promotions to Primary, and does it well. If placement is your only gap, it fits.
But that's a single-purpose tool sitting next to the vendors that do the rest, and it leaves the reputation underneath and the audience in front of it untouched. Tie is the consolidation: placement, the reputation that drives it, and the list itself, on one platform on the Tie ID foundation. Run Tie Priority as a drop-in Klaviyo block and A/B it against your current placement, the way OluKai did.
Mailmend does the last step.
Tie does all three.
Recognize the shopper, know when they're ready to buy, and make sure the message is seen: Tie runs the whole path and lands it in Primary with A/B proof. Mailmend only does that final step, and only the placement half of it, downstream of the reputation that put you in Promotions.
