Email & SMS marketing for ecommerce brands
We’re a retention agency for DTC founders who are tired of relying on Meta for every sale. We build retention strategies and systems around your brand that help you turn subscribers into first-time buyers, and first-time buyers into repeat customers.
Now taking a few founding clients
Our mission
extra revenue for your brand
Ads get more expensive every year, and most brands go quiet after the first order. We turn the customers you’ve already paid for into repeat buyers, aiming to add 25–40% to your revenue, with email doing the heavy lifting and SMS supporting it.
Problems most brands face
We build post-purchase emails and value offers that give them a reason to come back for a second order.
We build segments from your store data with custom integrations, so each customer gets the message that fits.
We design emails around your brand, so customers buy for more than a code.
What we do
Identify gaps in your email setup, flows, list health, and signup forms.
Use customer behavior, purchase history, and engagement to send more relevant messages.
Automated journeys for first and repeat orders, plus campaigns built on real customer insight. No recycled templates.
Test messaging, offers, and signup forms to improve conversions using real data.
Review list hygiene and sending practices to support inbox placement and sender reputation.
Find opportunities to encourage repeat purchases, reduce subscription churn, and increase customer lifetime value.
Our process
Here’s how we fix it. Three stages from research to results, and you always know what we’re doing and why.
We learn your brand before we build anything.
Your plan turns into live emails in 15 days.
Launch is the start. Every month after, results build on each other.
Portfolio
Every email is designed around your brand and written around what your customers care about. Never a template with your logo dropped in.
Concept designs shown. Client work and results are added as they’re approved.

FAQ
Still unsure about something? Send us a message below.
We review your flows, campaigns, segmentation, list health, deliverability and reporting, then walk you through a prioritized 90-day roadmap on a call. There is no obligation to work with us afterwards.
We plan, write, design, build and test your core automated flows: welcome, abandoned cart, browse abandonment, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back and sunset. Core flows go live within the first 15 days of the program.
No. Once your flows are live they keep running on their own. Ongoing support is for brands that also want campaigns, testing and continuous optimization.
Yes, as a complement to email. We add SMS where it genuinely helps, such as cart reminders, shipping updates and back-in-stock alerts, and keep email at the core of your retention program.
No. Flow setup is a one-off project with a fixed price agreed up front. If you want ongoing campaigns afterwards, that’s a monthly plan you can stop at any time.
It depends on your traffic, list size and starting point. Automated flows start working as soon as they go live, and the audit gives you realistic expectations before any work begins.
