Net Promoter Score: Klaviyo vs Hadrian
DIRECT ANSWER
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a customer loyalty metric derived from a single survey question: 'How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?' on a 0–10 scale. Respondents are classified as Promoters (9–10), Passives (7–8), or Detractors (0–6). NPS equals the percentage of Promoters minus the percentage of Detractors. Klaviyo addresses net promoter score as a tool you prompt manually; Hadrian's agents execute it continuously on your live brand data under your approval gate.
What net promoter score means in practice
Scores range from −100 to +100. A positive NPS indicates more Promoters than Detractors. The absolute score matters less than the trend over time and the gap versus close competitors. A score of +30 in a category where competitors average +10 signals a meaningful loyalty advantage; the same score in a category averaging +50 signals a problem.
For marketing teams, net promoter score is a lever that needs consistent, ongoing execution — not a one-off task. The question is whether your tooling runs it continuously or requires manual effort each time.
