Emails bring back your old customers. Emails salvage lost transactions. Emails promote your credibility. Emails strengthen your moat against competitors.
Emails are the primary touchpoint with your most engaged customers and the primary way you get less-involved customers to resume a relationship with you.
We all know email is powerful.
But there’s a catch, of course: email is a time-consuming pain to create. Very few stores have an email department. Everyone wears too many hats. Moreover, it’s unclear whether the emails you do create will generate a meaningful ROI for your store.
This is doubly problematic for store owners in particular, where time is always at a premium. There are dozens of other things to worry about at any point.
Why bother with email when your hair is literally on fire, and your warehouse looks like this?
You can’t afford to waste time on email.
But you do need to spend time on email.
As a result, you need to make sure that the time you spend on email yields maximal value for your store – and does so sustainably and automatically.
As display ads get increasingly expensive and competitive, it becomes more and more imperative for you to recapture the customers you previously sold to.
The ROI of email isn’t decreasing anytime soon – but the ROI of advertising is. According to Mary Meeker’s influential Internet Trends Report, CLTV is currently the most important metric in a store’s ad spend, and the cost of ads is rising faster than its reach.
In short, you need to be strategic & intentional about how you communicate with your customers. That’s why our mini-course, Ecommerce Email Mastery, will teach you all the things you need to do when building evergreen, well-optimized emails that keep people coming back again & again. And then you’ll finally be able to sleep easy when it comes to your store’s email.

Right now, there are 4 places where you gather a new email address:
Draft has seen numerous deep-dive usability studies of online stores. Baymard Institute publishes some of the best. These sorts of studies are important because they help you understand what kind of marketing plays are in vogue – and how many stores are doing the wrong thing.
We were curious if any similar ones existed specifically for email. Klaviyo has a few – here’s a good example. In spite of excellent studies like these, we haven’t yet found any wide study of lifecycle emails across many stores.
Until now.
We’re placing real orders at real stores. We’re abandoning carts in incognito tabs to see what stores do to salvage the transaction. We’re signing up for out-of-stock notifications, and taking note of how each one behaves & communicates.
