An ecommerce company recently approached my team to do an email audit as they were facing challenges with low open and click-through rates. After analyzing their email account, here are our main recommendations to revive their email marketing channel: 1. Strategic Email Segmentation: Currently, your emails lack personal relevance due to a one-size-fits-all approach. This is a crucial area to address. Action Plan: Implement segmentation based on purchase history, engagement levels, browsing behavior, and demographic information. 2. Personalized Content Creation: Generic content won't cut it. Your audience needs to feel that each email is crafted for them. Action Plan: Develop emails specifically tailored to the different segments. This includes curated product recommendations, personalized offers, and content that aligns with their interests. 3. Subject Line A/B Testing: Your current subject lines aren't doing their job. You need to be implementing ongoing A/B subject line tests, as this is low-hanging fruit to improve your open rates. Action Plan: Regularly test different subject line styles and formats to identify what resonates best with each segment. Keep track of the metrics to inform future campaigns. 4. Mobile Optimization: A significant portion of your audience reads emails on mobile devices. Neglecting this is causing a decrease in your email engagement rates. Action Plan: Ensure all emails are responsive and visually appealing on various screen sizes. Test your emails on multiple devices before sending them out. Additional Campaign Strategies We Recommend: - Launch a Monthly Newsletter: This should include new arrivals, style guides, and user-generated content. It’s an excellent way to keep your brand in the minds of your customers. - Seasonal Campaign Integration: Tailor your campaigns to align with holidays and seasons. This approach can significantly boost engagement and sales during key periods. - Re-Engagement Campaigns: Specifically target subscribers who haven't interacted with your brand recently. Offer them unique incentives to rekindle their interest. Next steps: 1. If you found this helpful, please leave a comment and let me know. 2. If you own/run/work at an Ecommerce company doing at least $1 million in annual revenue, message me so my team can audit your email channel to see if there's a good fit for working together.

With CAC rising is EMAIL the? UK’s Most Underrated Acquisition Channel? In the UK, email is often underestimated in terms of customer acquisition. Meanwhile, in the U.S., it's a top-performing channel, with 81% of businesses using for acquisition (v. 80% for retention), with an average ROI of $36 for every $1 spent (DMA) you can understand why. So why the disconnect in the UK? A big part of it comes down to GDPR & perceived limitations around high-quality data. But after sending billions of acquisition emails for some of the UK’s biggest brands, I can say with confidence: email works—when done right. Here are my top 10 tips for using email as a scalable acquisition tool & ensuring you qualify traffic: 1. 🚫 Don't buy or rent data to send emails yourself Sender reputation determines inbox placement. You could buy the best list, but if you haven't engaged with them before, you are unlikely to inbox. Only work with senders who mail their data. (nb. Delivery is everything to them, so they will ensure your offer drives engagement or they wouldn't send) 2. 🤝 Trust senders to know their audience Ask providers what’s historically performed well—designs, content, send times. Use their insight to maximise your campaign effectiveness. 3. 🧪 ROI rarely comes from a single send Create a structured testing programme. Experiment with subject lines, creative formats, audiences, timing. Think performance, not one-and-done. You wouldn't run a one hit wonder on meta - so don't do it on email. 4. 🔁 Use a multi-touchpoint approach Just like paid media or social, consumers need multiple exposures before they convert. Plan repeat sends to build familiarity and intent. 5. 🖼️ Tell your story, but make it scannable Email gives you space—use it! Combine visuals, GIFs, storytelling. But keep it easy to skim, with prominent CTAs. Guide the reader clearly. 6. 🙅♀️ Skip the “Hi [First Name]” In acquisition, personalisation by name isn’t effective. You haven’t earned a relationship yet—focus on value and relevance first. 7. ✨ Nail your above-the-fold content The top section drives most engagement. Make sure your primary USP shines here. Grab attention fast, and give users a reason to click. 8. 👁️ Think beyond opens—email is brand awareness Even unopened emails contribute. People read subject lines and from-names when deciding what to engage with. An email from “M&S – 50% Off Sale” makes an impact, even if it’s deleted. 9. 📊 Question low open rates Thanks to auto-image loading, open rates are often inflated. So if your open rates are low, it may point to real quality issues—look deeper. 10. 🚀 It can be a pure acquisition channel Email makes it easy to exclude existing customers. Clean deduplication ensures you're reaching only new potential buyers. Email isn’t just a retention tool—it’s a powerhouse for acquisition, brand visibility, and testing at scale. UK marketers who embrace its potential will unlock a competitive edge that many are still missing.

The hidden reason 90% of outbound campaigns die after 30 days (and it's not what you think). It's not deliverability issues. It's not terrible offers. It's not bad copy. It's that most teams never build feedback loops. They launch a campaign, send it for a month, and when results plateau, they blame the list. Then they start over with new: Copy. Targeting. And sequences. And the cycle repeats itself. Here's what we learned after running outbound for 120+ companies: Your best-performing campaigns are hiding in your current data. You're just not listening to it. At ColdIQ, we treat every reply as intelligence. Prospects' feedback should be leveraged into better campaigns: 1. Tag Every Single Reply We use three categories in Instantly.ai: → Positive (interested, asking questions, booking calls) → Negative (unsubscribes, "not interested," objections) → Neutral (out of office, wrong person, timing issues) But we go deeper. For positive replies, we track: → Which email in the sequence hooked them → Which subject line did they respond to → Which value proposition resonated → Which persona/role they hold For negative replies, we track: → Budget concerns by role → Common objections by industry → And timing pushbacks by company size 2. Analyze Patterns Weekly Every Friday, we pull campaign data from Instantly and Clay. We look for: → Which industries respond best to specific messaging → Which angles get the most positive replies → Which CTAs drive the most meetings Example from last month: CTOs at Series A companies responded 40% better to efficiency messaging than to ROI messaging. So, we built a separate sequence just for that segment. 3. Build Iteration Workflows Based on weekly data, we create new email variations using Claude. But we don't rewrite entire campaigns. We test micro-improvements: → New subject lines for low open rates → Different pain points for cold segments → Alternative CTAs for warm prospects We use Instantly's A/B testing to run these variations against control groups. 4. Create Campaign Evolution Rules When a campaign hits certain thresholds, we automatically evolve it: → If positive reply rate drops below 2% after 500 sends, we test new angles → If objections cluster around budget, we add ROI-focused follow-ups → If timing pushbacks exceed 30%, we build nurture sequences 5. Feed Insights Back Into New Campaigns Every insight gets documented in our Clay database. When we build campaigns for new clients, we start with proven patterns: → Subject lines that work by industry → Pain points that resonate by role → CTAs that convert by company size We're not starting from scratch each time, but building on what already works. The result? Average positive reply rates improve 30-40% between month 1 and month 3. Feedback should guide your strategy. Treat outbound like a conversation where you actually listen and optimize accordingly. Questions? 👇

Is your email marketing actually building relationships — or just filling inboxes? If your open rates are dropping and conversions are flat, it’s time to rethink your strategy. Here are 6 smart rules that can transform your email campaigns into valuable conversations: 1. Divide and Conquer Don’t treat your audience as one giant group. Segment them by age, interests, location, or buying behavior to make your emails more relevant and targeted. 2. Make It Personal Use details like names, preferences, or birthdays to customize your emails. A personalized touch can dramatically improve engagement and click-through rates. 3. Build Trust First, Sell Later Avoid jumping straight into sales mode. Share helpful content, insights, or updates before making any offers. Relationships come before revenue. 4. Give Before You Ask People are more likely to share their email if there’s value in it for them. Think exclusive deals, useful downloads, or insider access. 5. Let People Unsubscribe Easily An easy-to-find unsubscribe button isn’t a threat—it’s a sign of respect. If they want to leave, let them go without friction. 6. Start Real Conversations Encourage replies, ask for feedback, and respond to your audience. Email shouldn’t be a one-way broadcast—it’s a dialogue. Email marketing is more than sending messages—it’s about delivering meaning. Refine your strategy. Respect your audience. Reap the rewards.

Why 90% of Email Marketing Campaigns Fail? Your prospects' inboxes are battlefields. Hundreds of brands compete for that coveted Primary tab spot, yet most marketers are fighting with broken weapons. Here's the reality: Email marketing is a science, not an art. Most campaigns fail because they skip the fundamentals. The #1 Mistake: Bad Targeting. Before you worry about subject lines, nail your ICP. Ask yourself: • What stage of growth is your ideal customer in? • What specific triggers create urgency for your solution? • When do they have budget availability? • Who are the real decision-makers? Generic targeting tools often aren't enough. The best campaigns use custom AI agents to identify prospects based on complex behavioral patterns and real-time triggers. Fresh, receptive leads always outperform spray-and-pray approaches. Technical Foundation (Most Skip This): ✅ Use lookalike domains (protect your main domain) ✅ Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly ✅ Warm up your sender reputation gradually ✅ Verify your lists (bad emails = spam folder) ✅ Test actual inbox placement Precision Over Volume: Stop sending 1,000 generic emails. Start sending 100 highly targeted ones to prospects who: Match your exact ICP Are at the right buying stage Have recent trigger events Actually need your solution NOW Bottom Line: While everyone else is being lazy with their email marketing, those who execute properly are seeing incredible results. The competition is fierce but surprisingly weak. The opportunity is massive for those willing to do the work right. Want the complete playbook?

To run effective cold email campaigns. You need to MASTER these 3 things: (Btw - most people fail at cold email) Not because it doesn’t work, but because they get the fundamentals wrong. There are 3 non-negotiables if you want a campaign that lands in inboxes, gets replies and books meetings. 1. Infrastructure → If your emails don’t get delivered, literally nothing else matters. Google and Microsoft tightened the rules, making deliverability the #1 challenge in 2025: ✅ Multiple domains to protect your sending reputation ✅ Sending limits & rotation to stay under the radar ✅ Email warmup & proper authentication Most people ignore this, then wonder why their emails go straight to spam and blame cold email as a channel 🤷♂️ Don't be that person. 2. Targeting → The wrong list will kill your campaign before it starts. The best campaigns are built on tight segmentation and deep prospecting: ✅ Clear ICP ✅ Strong value add ✅ Signal-based outreach Forget what you've been told — cold email isn’t just a numbers game... It’s a precision game. 3. Relevancy → If it sounds like a sales pitch, it’s getting ignored. Campaigns fail when they're written for everyone, which means they resonate with no one: ✅ Prospect-first messaging ✅ Clear, no-fluff value proposition ✅ Customisation beyond first-name tokens If your email could be sent to anyone anywhere, it’s not relevant enough. The best part? When you get these 3 things right, cold email isn’t just effective... It’s becomes a lead-generating machine.
