Description

Most ecommerce brands are getting email wrong — and it’s costing them a fortune.




In this episode, Mark and Ian break down:




• Why most brands under-capture emails (and how to fix it fast)

• The real job of email (hint: it’s not just retention)

• How to time your emails around buying mode and conversion peaks

• Why eventing matters more than clever copy

• How often you should email (and why most brands email far too little)




Plus: examples from brands like Bedding Envy, Brooklinen, Healthspan, and more — including how some get 20%+ email capture rates and make it work like a new customer sales engine.
