By 2026 online retail sales are estimated to have grown by 56%.

Estimating to reach £6,100,000,000,000 GBP. 

By now, you understand the importance of selling your products digitally.

Just a minor problem:

You’re unable to grow or make any revenue through online channels.

You see others around you excel and make a great living.

On the other, you’re stuck.

At this point, you’ve wasted money on campaigns that didn’t convert, you fell behind with consumer habits and you’re falling behind your competitors. 

You're trying to analyse data that doesn't make sense and learn platforms that take too much of your time. 

All while unused inventory is sitting there and not being sold. 

You even may have had bad experiences with agencies that don’t produce, don't communicate but make sure they send you their large invoice at the end of the month.

Worse, you are even losing time in the areas of the business you are best at and where you will make the greatest impact.

That’s a nightmare scenario you don’t want to think about for long.

It’s time to make a change.

What if you had a commercial-oriented partner in your corner?

Someone who takes care of every digital aspect of your business.

Ranging from running your email marketing, executing ad campaigns, and optimizing your website.

How much easier would it be to grow your business?

That’s where I step in.

As an experienced eCommerce marketer, I help overwhelmed e-commerce business owners increase their revenue to a 7-figure level by managing and optimizing every digital aspect.

My goal is to grow your revenue, give back your time and help you focus on what you’re best at, making your business as successful as possible. 

If you’re interested in how I can help your business, send me a DM and we can chat.

I can’t wait to hear from you.

I help 7 figure D2C brands increase revenue, grow retention and build customer loyalty, using my expertise in email marketing and retention strategy.

Hi, I'm Josh.

I help eCommerce brands grow revenue and profit through email marketing and advanced retention strategies.

And no, my strategy isn't just sending emails.

That may have worked back in 2014.

But in 2024, our work goes much deeper than that.

And it is all centered around the most important thing for your business: PROFIT.

But if you're looking for someone who only sends emails without considering your unit economics, won’t build a strategy focused on profitability, and doesn’t help you understand how to get your product into customers' hands, then I'm not the guy for you.

My strategy is simple:

I’m here to help you solve your true business challenges, not just to send emails every week.

When you work with us, you get a true partner focused on:

- Converting as many prospects into customers as quickly as possible
- Increasing the percentage of first-time customers who return, boosting their lifetime value
- Leveraging your loyal audience to enhance our acquisition strategies

We’ve helped brands like Straand, Cozmo Sofa, SIMMI London, and Willowberry achieve significant growth, and we can do the same for you.

If you’re looking for a retention partner who will provide you with a genuine strategy to grow your business, then send me a DM.

Worst case, we're not a fit. Best case? We’ll spend the next few years watching your business grow profitably.

Co-Founder & Director

Regal Gentleman, born out of a bad haircut, and now a side-hustle, is an award-winning men’s grooming D2C, e-commerce and educational company. Our vision was to eliminate the complexity from men’s grooming experiences, and I am the player that steered the ecommerce and digital strategy that now attracts over 200,000 organic website visits/month. 

I created a vision, plan and action that resulted in a social media and content strategy, and video series that attracts 2million+ YouTube views/month. As more than a face of the business, I am hands-on developing strategic based on tangible insight. I am a regular at in-person coffee meets, focus groups and calls that improved customer experience, increased insight generation, and result in a deep understanding of the customer journey at all functional levels.  

From start-up to growth to six-figures, I was involved in everything from eCommerce strategy development to creating user personas, customer profiles, UX/UI plans to the website itself. I drove end-to-end product development too that synergised with sector trends and actual customer feedback. As a leader, I was behind the introduction of the internship programme and guided young talent to grow in capability and potential within the ecommerce and digital marketing space. I was key to the success of the social media strategy that drives high audience engagement, brand development and original content development, with a focus on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. 

These days, Regal Gentleman is my side hustle, and the place I explore, test, and learn new approaches to eCommerce, digital strategy, and marketing.
