393 - Why Being Picky About Email Marketing Paid Off for COE Founder Cody Cessna
Cody Cessna almost didn't do email marketing at all. He told me straight up he didn't want to be the brand that annoys people and gets unsubscribed. And honestly, that instinct made our job harder - because we had to build in more restraint and intention than we might have with another brand. But...

$6,000 in Klaviyo. $600 in Google Analytics. Same campaign. Same week. Real numbers from a real account my team took over. If you've ever stared at two reports that should say the same thing and thought - is someone lying to me? - this episode is for you. Nobody is lying. But what's actually...
-
387 - Where Your Email Marketing Welcome Flow Is Leaking Revenue
The moment someone signs up for your emails is the highest attention moment you will ever have with that subscriber. They just said yes. They're interested. They're engaged.

Popups have a reputation. We've all landed on a site, barely had a second to look around, and been hit with a full-screen form asking for an email address before we even know what the brand sells. That's not a popup problem - that's a strategy problem. A well-timed, well-designed popup is one of...
-
383 - Your Klaviyo Account Might Need a Domain Warmup Right Now
Most brands have heard of domain warmup. When you're setting up a new Klaviyo account, you don't just blast your entire list on day one - you start small, build gradually, and let inbox providers get to know you as a sender. That part tends to make sense to people. What doesn't get talked about...

Almost every brand sends last chance emails. End of a sale, final hours of a promotion, last day before something's gone. They're a completely normal part of any email calendar. And yet - we've all been on the receiving end of one that felt off. A little frantic. A little hollow. Like the brand…

377 - Lists vs. Segments: The Email Marketing Mistake That Breaks Your Klaviyo Account Over Time
Lists and segments both group people. They both show you a number. They both show up when you're sending emails.
