Show the world your tech is the hero they've been waiting for 🦸‍♂️ Conversion copywriter & messaging strategist for SaaS and tech companies

“Eden got to the heart of our messaging and captured it in clear and compelling language. And then helped us create a fresh, new website that’s fully aligned with the company’s business objectives. It was a real pleasure working with her.”

- Howard Silverman, Head of Marketing @CyberProof, a UST company

Your tech’s got the power to save your audience's world 🦸‍♀️

But if your TA:

❌ Doesn't know you exist
❌ Doesn't know why they should care
❌ Doesn't know how or why you're different from those other guys on the same magic quadrant

– then winning them as customers is going to be frankly, almost impossible.

At CAPE.Agency, my (tiny but mighty) team and I use conversion messaging (conversion copywriting + strategic messaging) to wrap your tech up in a clear and powerful verbal cape.

So your audience instantly recognizes:

● What your tech does
● Who it’s for
● Why it’s awesome

We then apply this new messaging to your website, ads, landing pages, emails, and more to earn prospects' attention, and convert that attention quickly – and profitably – into sign-ups, booked demos, and closed/won deals.

And the results? Well, they're super 💥

→ Home page messaging that fixed positioning and doubled sign-ups for an early-stage PLG SaaS.

→ 30% lift in conversions with 95% statistical confidence for a B2B SaaS "book a demo" page.

→ A B2B SaaS home page that doubled visitors' time on page, doubled time on page, and cut the bounce rate from 51.5% to 35.6%.

---

"It was really incredible to work with Eden. As part of our rebrand we had new messaging and positioning ready to go, but needed help translating that into fresh copy to support our PPC ads and other assets. And Eden really delivered! The copy was clear and crisp, was presented well, and was received well by the team."

- Kate Gleeson, Head of Brand @Supermetrics

---

“Your initial prototype captured our needs very well and provided suggestions that fit perfectly into our existing frameworks and that we’d never considered. You were a pleasure to work with through multiple rounds of edits, and everyone on the team was pleased to have you onboard for the duration of the project!"

- Kate Gregorio, Former Manager Web UX Content @GoTo

Today's 1-min conversion copywriting tip: rules are meant to be broken.

So when you run a web page or landing page through ChatGPT and ask it to tell you what's wrong with it... it might give you the wrong answers.

Because AI is trained on "best practices."

But best practices aren't always the best route to follow.

---

Story time:

I once audited a business book description on Amazon for a contact of mine.

It was converting -- but it could be doing better.

Which was weird because it was already "doing all the right things":

✅ Copy was neat and tidy (well spaced)
✅ Lots of customer testimonials (great social proof)
✅ Clearly explained what the book was about (reducing anxiety about the purchase)
✅ Copy was short and could be read quickly (low cognitive load)

This page should’ve been converting like crazy.

But it wasn't.

Because... it looked and felt exactly like every other Amazon book description.

---

So as I wrote new copy, I purposefully skipped over the so-called “best practices”:

- I wrote a long, winding hook -- a full paragraph long -- based on the book’s introduction (to build tension and excitement)

- I wrote long fascinations (bullets) for each section of the book (to visually convey the value in each chapter)

- I deliberately mixed up the order of the chapter bullets and omitted some details (to further build excitement)

- I cut several testimonials out of the description (they weren’t punchy enough IMHO)

- And I doubled the total amount of copy (to over 3,700 characters)

The result?

Book sales shot up.

And the page is still converting (4+ years later).

That and the author ended up hiring me to do the same for their second book as well 💪

---

So before you let AI "fix" your perfectly imperfect web page...

Just remember that AI is trained on patterns. On those industry "best practices."

Meaning it won't tell you when to break those patterns or best practices if they're not working for you.

---

Hi I'm Eden 👋 and for a limited time, you can get a web page or landing page reviewed by me (a real human, not a bot) -- and turned around in 24 hours.

You'll get a video walkthrough + report showing you what to fix (and why), as well as what to keep (and why) to help you lift conversions.

AI can tell you you need chocolate chips if you're making chocolate chip cookies (duh).

But it can never tell you what's the Goldilocks amount: what's "just right" for whoever's supposed to be eating them.

It can predict what'll happen if you add too many (cookie's too sweet).

Or if you add too few (cookie will be more cookie than chocolate chip).

But... some people LOVE overloaded choc chip cookies (like my kids).

And some people LOVE the less-choc-heavy ones.

But unless you already know upfront how few -- or how many -- chocolate chips your audience actually want in their cookies... AI won't be able to tell you what's the right amount for your audience.

Hint: It's the same for copy as it is for recipes.

It's your job to know exactly what your audience likes and wants. Not AI's.

Because if you know what they want, then you'll always be able to whip up something that'll please them.

So the next time you go to write copy... instead of asking AI "what does X target audience want in Y solution?"... go hunt around on Reddit for a bit first. (Or better yet, ask your customers for real by interviewing them)

You might surprise yourself just how quickly you come across the answer.

And then when you *do* know what they want, whether you write it yourself or get AI to do it, you'll at least know that you're on the right track.

P.S. Apparently my baking posts get a lot more engagement than anything else. Huh. 

(So... maybe comment "Cookie" and I'll share the recipe?  🤔)

Pic: wholemeal choc chip cookies from Friday. Can't show you what they looked like after baking though because they're already all gone (yes today is Sunday...) 🫣

So many "smart" solutions are actually pretty dumb. 

Add to that the fact that when everything around us becomes "smart" -- that just makes us dumber.

Whatever happened to being self sufficient?

"Smartify Everything" - new cartoon and post:

One of the most popular cartoons I ever drew was about the Internet of Things, right after Google announced the acquisition of Nest in early 2014.

“I think my Nest smoke alarm is going off,” one character tells another. “Google Adwords just pitched me a fire extinguisher and an offer for temporary housing.”

iRobot later proved that truth is stranger than fiction when photos taken in homes by a beta version of its Roomba vacuum robot somehow ended up on Facebook in late 2022, including a photo of someone on the toilet.

Yet the drumbeat to "Smartify" just about every product by connecting it to the Internet has only accelerated in the AI era. The latest is a "Smart Toilet" with an in-bowl camera from Kohler that analyzes photos and connects findings to a health app.

Some of these products have true utility. But the question is whether the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, particularly in privacy, security, and the cost to repair. There are inherent vulnerabilities of having so many products connected to the Internet.

A few years ago, a casino business was hacked through an Internet-connected fish tank Smart Thermometer in the hotel lobby.

In October, Smart Mattresses from Eight Sleep crashed during the Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage in the middle of the night. Some mattresses got stuck at an extreme incline. Others readjusted the sleeping temperatures to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

CES debuts many of the Smart Products that come to market. An organization called The Repair Association started to give out "Worst in Show" awards for the "The Most Overengineered, Unrepairable, and Unsustainable Tech Disasters at CES."

This year's "Who Asked for This?" award was given to Samsung for a Smart Washing Machine that makes phone calls, requiring unnecessary screens and microphones (which can break faster at a higher cost). As they put it, it's an example of "force feeding useless smart features, all just to be able to take a phone call from a washing machine."

When so many smart products seem to be jumping the shark, I think there's an opportunity for brands to go the other way. As BBH once put it in a Levi's ad, "zig when others zag."

The Bathtub Studios

When I moved to Berlin, Germany, I started collaborating with various artists based in the city. 

I produced classical to jazz, indie to pop, and every type of genre in between. 

As a producer and sound engineer, my role included:
- Doing research and scouting the artists I was interested in
- Presenting them with a compelling offer for them to work with me
- Being involved in the rehearsal process and making sure the musicians were ready for recording
- Making sure that everyone involved knew where they needed to be, when, what they needed to do, and what was expected of them during the recording day and the process thereafter
- Finding the right space or studio to record in and securing it, considering the budget at hand
- Preparing the recording session and equipment at the location before the musicians arrived, so they'll have a smooth, fuss-free experience
- Knowing what to say, ask, or do so the musicians would give their best performance
- Mixing the raw files into polished, cohesive, clear, and attractive songs
- Making connections with mastering engineers that made the final product shine and ready for distribution

Between 2016 and 2018, I engineered, recorded, produced, and mixed 3+ EPs: 
- Brea Robrtson's album, "Hillcrest to Here", 
- My passion project "Aqua: Unknown Waters", 
- And Kayan Project's EP.

Aside from the creative side, acting as a music producer and sound engineer required me to be crystal clear in my communication, be extremely organized throughout the whole process, know how to talk to different types of people to get the best results, and provide the musicians (my clients) with results they were beyond impressed with.

Music Producer

A good songwriter is a marketer in disguise. To write a successful song, you need to:

- Know your audience and what makes them tick
- Capture their attention quickly 
- Retain that attention for anywhere between 2 to 10 minutes
- Use repetition wisely
- Tell a good story in an interesting way
- Take your listener through a journey that feels personal
- And know the structures that make a good song - while being open to stretching those boundaries

On a less serious note, this is the only profession in the world where you can say "Oh, I hear voices in my head", and people won't look at you funny.

Loving Against My Instincts

21 episodes produced (solo + interviews) about conscious relationships and how to improve them - with others or with ourselves. 

To launch the podcast, I recorded intros + outros, a musical theme, and mapped out the topics and guests I wanted to have.

I was solely responsible for every aspect of it:
- Researching possible topics and guests
- Booking guests and making sure everyone has all the links and info for successful promotion
- Finding ways to technically record each episode at the highest quality
- Editing each episode and getting it ready for distribution
- Using a great distribution platform and uploading an episode on time once every other week
- Writing show notes and episode summaries
- Producing snippets and social media posts to promote each episode multiple times

After half a year of producing this podcast and self-publishing, I was invited to be a part of the annual podcast convention in Berlin - including participating in a panel for podcast producers and recording an episode in front of a live audience.

This experience included being both extremely detail-oriented, as well as seeing the bigger picture. It strengthened my project management skills and a better marketer too, and showed me that when I set a goal, come hell or high water, I'll make it happen.

Above all, I learned more and deeper about human relationships and psychology - what makes us tick and how to communicate better to achieve our mutual goals. That knowledge is invaluable in marketing and sales, and my clients' results are a testament to that.

After 21 episodes I stopped producing the podcast due to my travels around the world. It was fun while it lasted.

Podcast Host

Sababa Restaurant

Starting yet again as a humble waitress, I quickly climbed my way into key positions. 

In my time in those roles, I doubled the number of staff, optimized working systems, and instilled a strong, diverse, synergized team - all of which increased the revenue of the company to an all-time high.

Working closely with the head chef and owner, I identified the areas that were working well but could be optimized - from daily activities to sales techniques or SOPs. I brought my skills to oversee multiple details and keep a close eye on the big picture at all times, which brought the results described below.

Thanks to my work and my teammates' efforts, the restaurant reached its:

- Highest sales rates,
- Highest number of new and returning customers,
- And the highest number of daily special offers developed and sold.

At the same time, I developed a deeper understanding of retention efforts, building personalized customer experiences and human psychology, sharpened my storytelling, auditing & optimization, and sales skills, and implemented multiple feedback loops of both customers and staff (which resulted in happier and more collaborative work environment & better sales results).

Floor & training Manager, Head of People

Shira Bloch Law Office

This hands-on, dynamic role required me to dive deep into a world full of new terms and professional jargon and communicate those clearly both to the office partners and to clients.

I had a multitude of responsibilities, from ordering office supplies and keeping track of correct documentation, to office calendar management, shipment coordination, and technical troubleshooting.

During my role, I optimized the existing filing system and taught the partners how to be more efficient themselves with their existing tools.

Office Manager

Landwer Coffee

Food has always been a love of mine and a huge point of interest. Starting as a humble waitress, the owner quickly recognized my fast-learning skills, my dedication to the role and company, my natural knack for teaching others, and my curiosity for finding ways to continuously optimize and improve things around me.

I was promoted to be the training manager of the branch, responsible for communicating with the national company headquarters, learning about improvements and new goals, and then bringing them to my team and making sure that those changes/additions were implemented successfully. That role required finding solutions that suited both the company and the workers so they'd lead to sales growth.

Training Manager

Galei Tzahal

Reporting the latest news for 50% of Israel's radio listeners on an hourly basis. 

As a journalist in a major news agency, I was responsible for gathering and delivering information that was crucial for the livelihood of millions - from politics to public transport strikes. 

Accuracy, time management, storytelling, and simplification of complex concepts played a big role in my day-to-day activities. 

Another important part of this role was adaptability and agility, learning how to grab the attention of the audience fast, and sometimes, holding it for hours on end (when there was a critical ongoing event happening).

I met with decision-makers and leaders who ran the country daily, and covered global stories too, all the while keeping my journalistic integrity.

The connections I made and the trust I nurtured with key figures in my areas of responsibility allowed me to expose an extensive corruption story in the Israeli ministry of transportation, leading to major changes in personnel.

Helping B Corps turn their subscribers into their biggest F.A.N.s | Ethical email marketing strategist | Pasta person | Nomad, currently: Vietnam

Your email list is a goldmine, but somehow, your subscribers aren't converting as well and as consistently as you hoped.

Most mission-driven B2B and eCommerce brands know email marketing could be a game-changer, but they're stuck copying "best practices" that treat people like walking wallets – tactics that feel completely misaligned with your brand's values.

Your team is stretched thin, stumbling through campaigns without strategic understanding. You can't confidently show stakeholders how email contributes to revenue because you're tracking opens and clicks instead of revenue attribution.

Here's what's actually possible: systematic email marketing that respects your audience while generating six-figure results. 

After helping brands generate $203K from a previously neglected list in less than two months, and increase event sales by 39.65% with one simple email strategy, the pattern is clear – 

You don't have to choose between authentic relationships and revenue.

The missing piece? 

Someone with deep email expertise who can step into your business and take strategic ownership of this channel while understanding that mission-driven brands need different approaches.

Your email marketing doesn't have to feel pushy or compromise your values. 

When you have the right strategic foundation, your existing audience can transform into a consistent source of qualified prospects who are genuinely excited for sales conversations, or repeat customers eager to use your products.

If you are ready to turn your email marketing into a revenue-generating asset that actually aligns with your mission - send me a message. I'd love to connect.

Yuval Ackerman

One of the hardest parts about being a business owner or marketer is that you’re too close to your own work.

You know the logic behind every design choice, every sentence, every offer.

But your audience doesn’t.

They don’t see your strategy notes or the dozens of versions that came before the one that the world got to see.

They just experience what’s in front of them and they react to that.

That’s why so many good businesses get stuck.

They create beautiful emails that make perfect sense internally… but the results don’t match the effort.

And to put this into a real-life example of how looking into your email data can start moving the needle for your business, I’ll share with you the“towel test” I did with my parents.

Every time I visit my parents, my strategist's brain kicks into action.

Like the time I suggested they’d get stainless steel pans, instead of their 5+-year-old non-sticks. Or when I put a “Do you have your keys/wallet/ID with you?” note on their door, which now saves them time and unnecessary frustration.

But no matter how many times I talked to them about it, there’s one thing I couldn’t get them to change… until my last visit.

The placement of the hand towel in the guest bathroom.

For years, the hand towel was placed next to the door. So even if guests brushed against it on their way in, by the time they were washing their hands, they couldn’t remember where it was.
 
Instead, they went for what was most logical for them to use - the shower towels, which are hung right across from the bathtub.

“But the hand towel is right there for guests to use,” my parents insisted.

“You’re right, but it doesn’t matter where *you* think it’s supposed to be,” I replied. “Guests clearly don’t share your logic, because after every time you have anyone over, I need to change my soaked shower towel.”

“You know what, let’s test it out, once and for all,” I suggested on my last visit. 

“I’m going to place two new hand towels in the bathroom - one across from the bathtub, and one where you think the hand towel is supposed to be. In a few hours, go into the bathroom and tell me which one feels wetter.”

It wasn’t even close… I was right.

Finally, they moved the hanger right next to the sink.

I’m telling you this story because 9 times out of 10, there’s a gap between what my clients think they want to promote or do in their emails - and what their subscribers are genuinely interested in and how they interact with our emails, we also have the data to back it up.

If your subscribers show you that you need to move the towel, then move the damn towel. 

It can be such a small change, but have a massive impact on your business.

And if you don’t know how to read those signs, how to understand your data, or where to move your “towel” to, let’s have a chat: https://lnkd.in/gUTyunWE

Helping marketing teams find the 6-figure revenue in their email list | Ethical email strategist & consultant for B2B and eCommerce B Corps, 1% for the Planet & mission-driven brands | International speaker | Pasta fan🍝

November is my birthday month.

And even though I don't like mentioning it, I've always used this month differently - by finding opportunities to create more impact for my clients.

Last year, I tested something new:

Donate a part of all proceeds from my consultation calls to a charity or organization of my clients' choice.

My clients loved it. 

I loved it.

So much so that this donation pledge became a part of every one of my offers this year.

As of today, Ethical Emails is on track to donate ~3% of its yearly revenue (not profits!) to brilliant causes that make a real difference for people and the planet.

Last week, I was also part of a group of email marketers who raised $31,250 for the V Foundation for Cancer Research through GURU Media Hub's annual conference.

If you'd told me a few years ago that this small business would support not only me, but people doing immense good for others...

I would've asked you to pinch me. Hard.

And at the same time, I want to do even more before 2025 wraps up.

Both in giving back more and helping values-driven businesses get ready for their email marketing in 2026.

Which led me to this year's birthday promo:

From today until December 19th, when you book a VIP Email Strategy Day, I'll double the donation to an organization or charity of your choice.

10% of the proceeds instead of the usual 5%.

What's a VIP Email Strategy Day?

We spend a full day together online (+ a prep call beforehand) to build your custom email roadmap for the next 3-6 months.

You'll also have 30 days of priority email access to me afterward for any questions or clarifications as you implement your strategy.

The solutions you get are designed specifically for your brand and audience, not recycled "best practices" you can find on a quick Google/AI search.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

• A plan you can implement right away
• Exactly what to send, when, and to whom 
• What to test, why it matters, and how to measure it 

Plus the satisfaction of helping your favorite cause twice as much!

If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to get expert eyes on your emails and use them as a force for good (and use your remaining 2025 budget in the process) - this is it.

See what your VIP Day includes:

Open article: VIP Email Strategy Day | Ethical Emails by ethicalemails.co

The very last email roundtable of the year is happening tomorrow and on Thursday, and it’s one of my favorite spaces to host.

Seats are intentionally limited so everyone gets real attention, and more than half of them are already gone.

If you want to:

• Raise your email questions before heading into 2026

• Hear what’s been working for fellow good-doing B2Bs who sent emails this year, and what they’re planning for next year

• And know what’s actually new and relevant now in the inbox (not the recycled advice floating around your LinkedIn feed)

... then this is *exactly* the space for you.

Want an invite? Join my newsletter first. I’ll send you a link to RSVP in a bit:

As an email consultant for good-doing brands, last week was... interesting.

Now that the Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Giving Tuesday craze is (at least officially) behind us, here are my takeaways:

1. Sales aren't the problem - misalignment is.

Every business needs to sell. Audiences are better off spending with brands that create a positive impact than with brands that don't. But good businesses can't make the BFCM decision lightly. When the tactics used during that one weekend contradict how you operate the other 51 weeks of the year, you risk wiping out years of trust-building. Trust is hard to build, easy to lose, and incredibly difficult to regain.

2. Can we stop calling it "Green Friday"?

The goal is sales - sales with better impact, sure, but sales nonetheless. The semantic shift doesn't fool anyone.

3. Too many B Corps and 1% for the Planet brands copy-pasted the standard BFCM playbook.

Multiple emails per day. ALL CAPS SUBJECT LINES. Fake urgency and scarcity. "Surprise" deadline extensions that everyone expected. Poor segmentation.
These tactics were never designed for values-driven businesses and their audiences. The question isn't just "Did it work?" but "At what cost?" A short-term sales spike might come at the expense of long-term brand credibility. These companies must include such hard questions in their post-sale debriefs.

4. B2Bs stayed silent, as usual.

Most B2Bs I work with avoid this parade entirely. But what could a strategic BFCM promotion with "better practices" achieve? The gap in the market is right there…

5. The numbness is real.

After last week's email avalanche, more people are growing immune to Black Friday promotions. Values-driven businesses might need an entirely different sales strategy - and if anyone's going to pave that path, it'll be the bold, innovative B Corps, 1% for the Planet companies, and like-minded brands.

Did anything stand out in your inbox last week?

It doesn’t matter what I think.

Clients often ask me things like: 

• “Do you think this topic will work?”

• “Should we move the button here or there?”

• “What do you think people will click on?”

And my answer is always the same:

“It doesn’t matter what I think, it matters what your audience shows us.”

Your subscribers are already telling you what’s working and what’s not.

Every open, click, and scroll paints a picture of what resonates and what doesn’t.

Sometimes that “tiny” change, like a different button color, or moving your CTA to a more natural spot, can finally drive real ROI.

Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s true to how your audience behaves.

If you’re making email decisions based on gut feelings or what you hope would be right, instead of data, it’s time to start listening differently and become more curious about your audience.

Because they’re already giving you the answers.

Need help making better email decisions that are aligned with your brand values and drive ROI?
