How Soapbox Doubled Email Opt-Ins and Achieved a 12.5% Purchase Rate with Alia’s Educational Popups

Soapbox, the personal care brand with a one-for-one soap donation mission, turned to Alia to overcome the limitations of Klaviyo’s cookie-cutter popups. With Alia’s educational, customizable popups, they doubled opt-in rates, drove stronger engagement, and achieved a 12.5% purchase rate within 30 days of signup.

The transition process could not have been easier! The team at Alia was great at managing the process and worked with myself and our designer to make sure everything was looking and sounding like we wanted it to.”

Switching to Alia not only doubled our sign-up rates but also transformed how we engage with our customers. The educational pop-ups allowed us to tell our story and build a community, driving immediate purchases and creating long-term value.

The Challenge

Limited Customization & Low Engagement with Klaviyo

Alia x Soapbox casestudy (1)

  • Klaviyo’s popups lacked flexibility to communicate brand mission
  • Email opt-ins stuck at ~7%, SMS at 4.55%
  • Visitors left without understanding the one-for-one soap donation story
  • Offers failed to engage—popups felt transactional, not community-focused

“Klaviyo’s popup offers very little customization, and it’s very basic. We wanted something that was a little more powerful and that would do a better job of educating our customers.”

Jeff Sheely
Head of Digital Growth, Soapbox

“We had a compelling offer, but there was no real compelling call to action other than just buy the stuff. [...] Customers didn’t know what exactly we offer, and they had a lot of other questions. [...] For brands where a lot of education is required, Klaviyo’s default popup isn’t enough.”

Solution – Hello Alia

Educational, Personalized Popups

  • Alia’s two-step popup flow offered discounts + collected zero-party data
  • Popups integrated FAQs to educate on mission + product benefits
  • Personalized content tailored to customer interests
  • A/B testing + white-glove onboarding from Alia’s team

“We wanted to use something that would help educate our customers while allowing us to offer compelling discounts.”

“The two-step sign-up process was crucial for us—first we offer a discount, then collect more info for additional savings. [...] With Alia, we can incorporate FAQs directly into popups, which significantly increases understanding. [...] Now we can identify which products our users are interested in and send them customized emails that resonate.”
