How Email Became 43.79% of Their Revenue
£172,058.62 in email-attributed revenue over the last 30 days.
That’s 43.79% of their total sales.
Up 54% compared to the previous period.
I’m not sharing this to brag.
I’m sharing it because the path to getting here isn’t what most marketers expect.
We didn’t run hyper-detailed segmentation.
We didn’t test 29 variations of the same subject line.
We didn’t implement “AI-powered personalization”.
We focused on 4 principles.
And all of them are what actually move the needle.
Let me break them down.
Problem #1: They weren’t sending enough emails
Before we partnered, they were sending maybe 4 campaigns a month.
Not by strategy — by bandwidth.
Marketing had too much on their plate, and email only got attention when everything else was done.
But here’s the truth:
If your competitors show up in the inbox more than you, they win — even if their product is worse.
Because when the moment to buy comes, people buy from whoever is top of mind.
And people remember who emails them.
So the first thing we did?
Increase frequency — strategically, not randomly.
Problem #2: They were missing the Trust Layer
Every email was beautifully designed.
Which is great for conversions…
But terrible for Trust.
Designed emails trigger the “this is a brand selling to me” response.
What they didn’t have was a human voice.
Something real.
Someone subscribers could connect with.
So we built what I call the Inbox Host.
A person, not a logo.
A personality.
A voice.
A guide.
And we used this voice exclusively in text-only emails.
No graphics.
No buttons until the end.
Just real communication.
These emails build Trust in a way designed emails simply cannot.
And trust always compounds.
Problem #3: They had “Fiverr Flows”
You know the type:
Templatized.
Generic.
Copy/paste.
“Welcome to the family!”
“Here’s 10% off!”
Technically correct.
Strategically useless.
Flows should work like ads — always converting in the background.
Theirs weren’t converting at all.
So we rebuilt everything from scratch:
• Welcome
• Browse
• Cart
• Post-purchase
• Winback
Every flow was rebuilt around psychology, timing, and intent — not templates.
Suddenly, they weren’t losing money in the cracks.
They were capturing it.
Problem #4: Everything relied on logic instead of emotion
The old emails were spec sheets.
Feature → Benefit → Technology.
All logic.
Very little emotion.
But people never buy with logic.
Logic just justifies the decision they already made emotionally.
So we shifted everything to a Conviction-Building Framework:
Trust: “I believe this will work for me.”
Desire: “I want this.”
When both are high, buying becomes the obvious next step.
The Result
📈 £172,058.62 in email revenue in 30 days
📈 43.79% of total store revenue
📈 54% growth vs. previous period
Not because of hacks.
Not because of AI magic.
Not because of some secret trick.
Because we applied principles.
Principles scale.
Principles last.
Principles win.
And they’re exactly how we took email from a secondary channel…
To a primary growth driver.

this is where lifecycle gets exposed tbh
a product can pass the ad test
then die at reorder
if first order margin is thin
and the second order needs another paid click
it is not a winner yet
best validation is boring:
do customers reorder before the welcome/post-purchase flow runs out of excuses
motherlove built urgency without a discount
first 100 orders each week
auto-entered for a + SHI herbal bundle
10 winners
1 in 10 shot
about 49 bundles total
no code
no sitewide sale
no "ends tonight"
if you need speed
cap the order window
make entry automatic
give away something tied to the brand mission
ava's pet palace sold a subscription like a product drop
jet set pup:
3-month treat flight
manila, accra, oaxaca themes
$199 upfront
first box ships june 10
fewer than 40 spots
no swaps, no skips
that feels way better than "subscribe and save"
make the subscription a season
not a commitment
black rifle is a good reminder that retention cannot save bad channel math
2025:
$398.3m net revenue
$258m wholesale
$117.6m dtc
about 160k subscribers
$32.2m net loss
coffee is brutal online
if shipping kills margin
do not make the lifecycle plan "push harder on subscriptions"
use email/sms to:
drive retail repeat
route buyers to local stockists
sell bundles only when margin survives the box
wildwonder did a welcome email most brands are scared to send
plain text founder note
25% off for 24 hours
3 proof bullets
one link
founder signoff
no hero image
no product grid
no giant lifestyle banner
if email 1 needs trust
make it feel like a person invited them in
not a catalog got triggered
