Hey there,

Hope your 2025 is off to a great start. After spending the holidays talking with brands about their growth plans, one thing became crystal clear: Email marketing is still a massive pain point.

Here's what we keep hearing:

"Email is dead."

"It doesn't work anymore."

"The ROI isn't there."

But here's the thing - while most brands stay stuck in "set it and forget it" mode, others are quietly turning their email programs into revenue engines. What's the difference?

Let us show you exactly how one DTC brand broke free from Email 1.0 and transformed their birthday campaign into their highest-performing revenue driver ever.

When "set it and forget it" becomes "set it and regret it"

Every brand claims email is "dead" when their campaigns underperform.

But here's the truth: while most brands are stuck in Email 1.0, others are quietly building revenue engines that print money.

A leading DTC mattress brand came to us with a challenge that perfectly illustrates this divide: Transform their birthday campaign into a revenue driver—starting completely from scratch.

The Starting Point

• Email deliverability stuck at 60

• Basic audience segmentation limiting reach

• Outdated designs hurting engagement

• Compressed timeline for execution

But the real problem wasn't about sending more emails. It was about building a sustainable email revenue engine that would perform for future campaigns, not just chase quick opens.
