THIS is how you do personalised email at scale... Tesco’s latest email landed with the subject line: "The week’s best offers, from Tesco." It sounds simple, because it is. But it's executed so. bloody. well. "But what stood out?!" Patience, please, I'm getting to it... 🔵 Location-based personalisation “Good afternoon Kate. Your Romford Gallows Corner Extra is open until Midnight.” Clear, relevant, and actually useful. 🔵 Smart use of Clubcard data - Every product shows the exclusive Clubcard Price. - There’s a full section for marketplace items with triple points. - A reminder I could save £207 on an iPhone just by being a member. 🔵 Clean creative that drives action The animated GIF for their 3 for 2 on beauty offer caught my eye immediately. Simple, branded, and actually highlights the promo (no need for big lifestyle scenes), helping to drive efficiency in aiding personalisation. 🔵 Timely seasonal relevance Pimms in the sunshine? YES YES YES. Breakfast offers? Summer holidays are upon us. What I like most is that it doesn’t try too hard.

Want to increase your email conversions? Here’s the trick—address objections before your subscribers even have them. Instead of leaving them thinking, “But what about ___?”, you can step in and say, “You might be wondering ___, here’s your answer.” That builds trust. It keeps people hooked. And ultimately, it removes any barriers between your subscriber and their decision to buy. Friction = sales killer. Here are 3 quick ways to crush objections with email: Know the concerns: What makes your readers hesitate? Could be price, value, or maybe delivery times. Know them well. Have the answers ready: Simple and clear. Use social proof, FAQs, or even a money-back guarantee to back you up. Weave them into your emails: Let it flow naturally. You’re having a conversation, not pitching hard. Make it part of your story. Example: You’re running an abandoned cart email for a clothing brand. Instead of just saying “Come back and buy,” include a line like, “Worried it won’t fit? No stress, we’ve got free returns!” Anticipate their worries before they ask. Watch your engagement and sales skyrocket. #emailmarketing #saas #ecommerce #coachingbusiness #klaviyo #copywriting #ecom

Just got off a call with a founder who's sent 1,000+ cold emails with ZERO responses... Let me ask you something... Have you ever crafted what you thought was the perfect outreach message, only to be met with complete silence? One of my clients (a SaaS founder) just shared their frustrating experience that might sound familiar... They spent weeks perfecting their message, researching prospects, and personalizing every email. The result? Radio silence. Zero responses. Zero meetings. Zero opportunities. And here's what really hurts... Their competitor, with an inferior product, was landing meetings left and right with the same prospects. After analyzing thousands of outreach campaigns, I’ve discovered that trust isn't built through volume - it's built through three specific elements that buyers actually care about. Here are the 3 trust drivers that actually get decision-makers to reply: 1) Social Proof That Matters Stop leading with generic logos. I've found buyers instantly engage when you share specific results from companies in their exact industry. They need to see themselves in your success stories. ✅ POWER MOVE:  Reference a similar company's specific metrics improvement (e.g., "We helped Company X increase their conversion rate by 47% in 60 days") 2) Thought Leadership Signals Your prospects are drowning in "experts." I've tested this extensively - buyers respond when you demonstrate deep industry knowledge through specific insights about their business challenges. ✅POWER MOVE: Share a unique observation about their market position or recent company changes that others missed. 3) Micro-Deliverables This is the game-changer most miss. I've seen response rates triple when founders offer immediate value before asking for anything in return. ✅POWER MOVE: Provide a quick competitive analysis or specific growth opportunity they can implement today, regardless of whether they reply. The data is clear: 89% of cold outreach fails because it focuses on what YOU want instead of what THEY need. These aren't just theories - I've watched these exact strategies transform response rates from 2% to 20%+ across hundreds of campaigns. Here's the real question: How many of these trust drivers are you actually incorporating in your outreach right now? #ColdOutreach #B2BSales #TrustBasedSelling #OutboundMarketing #SalesStrategy

Growing your first-party database: Why most brands get pop-ups wrong (and what sportshoes.com got right) Every website has a pop-up pushing consumers to sign up for newsletters. But here's the key question: Is your pop-up capturing high-intent browsers who aren't ready to purchase yet, or are you only targeting those ready to buy now? After driving hundreds of thousands of consumers to sign up across various brand websites, I seen the biggest conversion killer: the traditional voucher code pop-up. That gives you a conversion rate of 5% from click, whereas other tools can achieve up to a 70% conversion rate from click. While voucher codes excel at nudging ready buyers to purchase, they're terrible for growing your subscriber base. Here's why: Voucher codes convert at 2-5x higher than typical on-site conversion rates. Sounds great, right? Wrong. Most consumers are afraid of "wasting" the voucher if they're not ready to buy immediately, so they simply don't sign up at all. You lose that high-intent buyer, who is on your site, and then you pay to get them back. Whereas the right incentive would of got them into your CRM, where you could control the conversation. Better alternatives for list building: If your goal is capturing subscribers for nurturing (not immediate conversion), consider: Competitions or giveaways Exclusive content access Free samples Early access to sales/Limited edition drops access These incentives attract consumers who are not ready to purchase but are interested in the brand, and let's be honest, that is about 98% of your daily traffic. But that sportshoes.com pop-up on the site made me stop for a second; they seemed to have found a great solution to the issue of nudging a sale or growing a subscriber base, using a voucher code. For the first time ever, I've seen a brand offer the option to "use your voucher later." This simple psychology hack captures those hesitant users who fear wasting the discount while still growing the subscriber base. It's a perfect balance between conversion and list building. Smart brands understand the difference between capturing ready-to-buy customers and nurturing future ones. Which approach is your pop-up taking?

I audited 70 dtc e-commerce klaviyo accounts last year and they all had the same issues with their customer journey. Make sure you avoid these common mistakes and ensure your messages align with the customer's journey: ▸ Welcome Email 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who have started checkout or placed their order after starting the flow. ▸ Browse Abandonment 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who have started checkout or placed their order after starting the flow. ▸ Abandoned Checkout 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who placed their orders after starting the flow. ▸ First and Repeat Customer Thank You 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who placed their orders, started a checkout, or canceled the order after starting the flow. ▸ Replenishment 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who placed their orders or started a checkout after starting the flow. ▸ Post Purchase 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who placed their orders, started a checkout, or canceled the order after starting the flow. ▸ Winback 🔹Fix: Remove recipients who placed their orders or started a checkout after starting the flow. There are other exit conditions you can add to email and sms flows for better messaging and experience, but these are the most common issues I see. You need to consider the number of times a user can receive a particular flow and whether a subscription customer should or shouldn't enter specific flows (assuming you have a subscription program). Sending relevant messages to your audience helps improve the customer experience and nudges them to take the right action at the right time. What are the other flow filters you would like to add? #emailmarketing #ecommerce

If your e-mail and SMS strategy doesn't emphasize content that is meant to educate the consumer, you are likely missing out on a lot of revenue. The truth is, 95% of visitors to an DTC brand's website will not purchase on the first touch, and require some sort of nurturing to make a purchase. Often times that nurturing doesn't need to be a discount or lower price, it just requires education. We've seen significant improvement in performance across all types of flows and campaigns when education has been a primary focus. Yes, education can be done via SMS too, using short, snippy soundbytes that remind the user why they showed interest in your product in the first place, and why they should care about your brand in particular. It matters because messages with educational content simply have higher open rates, engagement, and drive more sales. But first, let's clarify what it's not: • It's not just selling a product • It's not sending boring newsletters • It's not ignoring your audience's needs • It's not using complex jargon • It's not spamming inboxes • It's not focusing only on your brand • It's not neglecting engagement • It's not one-size-fits-all content Here's what it really is about: • Providing value to your audience • Sharing useful tips and insights • Building trust with your readers • Encouraging two-way communication • Creating a loyal following • Making learning enjoyable • Offering solutions to real problems • Keeping content relevant and fresh If you want to boost your email & SMS marketing, focus on educational content. → It increases engagement. → It builds customer loyalty. → It drives conversions. Your business will thrive from it.

One thing that's overlooked when it comes to retention in eCommerce is educating customers. What do I mean? This. If you're a skin care brand, here's the things you're customers probably won't know. • How much do I need to apply of product x, based on my skin condition? • How do I apply product x? • When is it best to apply product x in terms of time of the day? • What other products should I not apply before or afterwards? • With my skin type, is this reaction normal? • How long will it take until I see result 1, 2, 3. • What other products do you have that can help me get the skin results quicker? • What will happen if I stop applying it when I go on holiday and forget? Yes okay, maybe you have these on your FAQ page, but how many of your customers are heading back their once they've purchased. So, could you: • Include a packaging insert in their first order with a QR code to a video that shows how much and how to apply the product? • Send an email with a quiz to help them assess their skin type and goals and provide a 'personalised' guide on when and how to apply? • Send regular update emails timed to when they should start seeing results, and offer a free video consultation if they are not seeing the results they should be expecting? • Send them well timed emails to recommend complimentary products to product x? The answer is probably yes, so give it a go, and see what happens. #retention #ecommerce #cro

👉 Unlock the secrets of consumer psychology to enhance your email marketing effectiveness 📧 In the crowded space of email marketing, understanding and applying behavioral economics can significantly improve the effectiveness of your campaigns. By tapping into how consumers think and make decisions, you can craft emails that not only get opened but also convert. ▪️ The Scarcity Principle ⏰ : Utilize the Scarcity Principle in your email campaigns to create urgency. Informing recipients that a deal is limited-time only or that only a few items are left can significantly increase the likelihood of immediate action. For example, "Only 3 hours left to claim your offer!" or "Just 5 items remaining at this price!" ▪️ The Paradox of Choice ✅ : Simplify consumer decision-making by limiting the number of options. The Paradox of Choice teaches us that too many options can overwhelm and deter decision-making. Optimize your emails by providing one clear call to action or focusing on a single product or service rather than multiple. ▪️ Personalization and the Liking Bias 🙋♂️ : Leverage the Liking Bias by personalizing your emails. People are more likely to engage with content that appears tailored to them. Use data to address recipients by name, reference past purchases, or suggest items based on browsing history. This not only captures attention but also enhances the feeling of intimacy and relevance. ▪️ Loss Aversion 🔚 : Capitalize on Loss Aversion by highlighting what your customers stand to lose if they don’t take action. Phrasing like, "Don’t miss out on this opportunity!" can be more effective than simply presenting the benefits of an offer. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: Review your current email marketing strategies. How can you implement these behavioral insights to increase open rates and conversions?

Clay use-case no one is talking about... AI Lifecycle Marketing So currently lifecycle marketing works as followed: - Users reach certain product milestones. - Those trigger sequences in software like ActiveCampaign or Customer.io. Great. This is always going to be around. But AI opens up a new way of doing this. What if you could use: - Every in-app action a user takes. - Answers from onboarding surveys. - Conversations from support chats. - Deep research done on the person + company. - Content consumption history before signing up. To create 1:1 personalized lifecycle emails. Which gives users product assistance, based on what they actually want/need. We just made it happen. Here's how: 1️⃣ Create CRM list for relevant user segments. 2️⃣ Auto-import that list into Clay. 3️⃣ Map all relevant properties as columns (e.g. Mixpanel/Amplitude data, Intercom history) 4️⃣ Enrich missing gaps in data. 5️⃣ Conduct AI research with Perplexity. 6️⃣ Feed all of this into a mega-prompt that contextualizes each input and has product docs uploaded into memory. 7️⃣ Send outputs to marketing automation tool, or to n8n/Zapier to send directly through Gmail. The hardest part of this was the prompt; One of the most difficult I've ever created. Claude Opus best handled the complexity - the outputs are seriously impressive.
