Typography carries the weight
A text hero on a deep solid background, display headline in the 36 to 44px range, no hero image. The restraint is what signals that this matters.

Import
How to import this template into Klaviyo, step by step.
The download is a single HTML file. Here is where it goes in Klaviyo, what the platform expects, and which tags are already wired up.
- Open Content, then Templates, in the Klaviyo sidebar.
- Choose Import and upload the downloaded HTML file.
- Name the template and save it.
- Replace every placeholder before you send — image sources, link targets, product and price copy, the sender name and the footer address. Klaviyo’s editor handles copy and images inline, or edit the HTML directly and re-import.
- Attach it to a campaign, or to a flow email, when you build the send.
Editing Klaviyo opens an imported HTML template in its own editor. Copy and images are editable there, and the underlying structure stays as generated, so the layout does not drift between sends.
Watch for Klaviyo rejects an import that carries no unsubscribe tag. This template already wraps {% unsubscribe_link %} in its footer link, so it imports as-is — if you rebuild the footer, keep that tag.
Swapping the placeholder images
Klaviyo opens an imported template in its own editor, so the images can be swapped there without touching the HTML. Upload yours to Klaviyo first, then point each image block at it. Editing the file before you import works too — Klaviyo keeps whatever src it is given.

When to send this announcement email, and what to change first.
When to send it
When stock on a watched item crosses a real threshold, to the people who viewed it more than once. The trigger is inventory, not the calendar. Because the copy invites the reader to wait for the next run, it survives being sent to somebody who was never going to buy today — which is what makes it safe to fire on a browse signal.
What to change first
Eleven sets, eight weeks and the “runs of two hundred” figure are the whole email — bind all three or the honesty is decoration. The three-figure row repeats the same numbers, so they have to update together. The waiting-list link at /notify/blocks has to actually exist, since the email offers it as the alternative to buying. Then the product name, the materials line, the €64 price, the photo, the sign-off “Ana”, and “Grove & Grain” in the masthead and footer.
The craft
What makes an announcement email worth sending.
The headline stands alone
Read it without the body copy. If it does not land on its own, it is not the headline yet. One supporting image in the body feature block is sufficient.
No hype
Two to four modules, one clear primary CTA, and an optional press or logo bar only when there is genuine external validation to show.

Questions
Klaviyo template questions, answered.
Can I use this template in a Klaviyo flow, or only a campaign?
Both. An imported template is available to any campaign or flow email you build afterwards. The trigger and the timing are configured on the flow itself, not in the template.
Do I need a paid Klaviyo plan to import a custom HTML template?
No. Template import is available on Klaviyo’s free tier, which covers up to 250 profiles. Removing Klaviyo’s own footer branding is the paid-plan feature, not the import.
Why does this template have no hero image?
By design. The announcement archetype puts a text hero on a solid background so the headline does the work — adding a decorative image would dilute the one thing the email is there to say.
Does Wooden toy low stock alert — Klaviyo hold up in dark mode and Outlook?
Every zone sets its background twice — once as a bgcolor attribute and once as an inline background-color — which is the pattern that survives dark-mode inversion in clients that repaint backgrounds.
The “Claim one of the eleven” button is a bulletproof VML button, so Outlook on Windows draws a real filled button instead of collapsing it to a bare text link.
The layout is a 600px table backbone with a mobile breakpoint, and the CSS is already inlined for the clients that strip style blocks.
