Is email marketing your most consistent and profitable sales channel?

It should be.

As advertising costs continue to soar and social media gets even more competitive, brands are seeing their profits dwindle because they no longer get the same ROI they used to from their top-of-funnel marketing.

That’s where email (and SMS) marketing come in.

Email marketing might not be the newest, sexiest thing, but it remains the highest, most consistent ROI of any marketing channel. And 72% of consumers STILL prefer receiving emails from their favorite brands.

The problem?

Most marketing emails suck… and we’re changing that.

At Elevate & Scale, we help ecommerce brands unlock hidden revenue and put their sales on autopilot while spending $0 extra on advertising.

Our clients typically see 30% to 50% of their total revenue attributed to email marketing.

What’s our “secret sauce” for high ROI emails?

1) Our unique Growth Branding Methodology – the art of infusing direct response copywriting, brand storytelling, and intuitive design for high-converting content that customers love.

2) Sales Process Optimization – the science of increasing conversions, average order value, and customer lifetime value through our proven email strategy frameworks.

3) Consumer-Focused Data – we leverage powerful insights from Klaviyo and Shopify to send targeted, personalized campaigns that scale your email marketing revenue.

Increase the ROI from your existing traffic and create an amazing customer experience!

I've built several companies from $0 and personally created enterprise value into the 10 figures.

I’ve hired investment banks with big logos and impressive retainers.

And I've experienced the devastation and disruption that a failed deal creates within an organization.

That’s why I built Exitwise.  

Building something of value is hard enough.

Finding an M&A Advisor that gets you to close, shouldn’t be.

DM me or reach out to our team if you’re looking for an M&A partner who’s been there.

Managing Partner @ Exitwise | Practical guidance for building your business towards an exit | Exited Founder, Advisor & Investor

A couple of weekends ago, we were up north for a hockey tournament my son was playing in. At one point, there was a six or seven-hour gap between games. So instead of sitting around the hotel, we decided to go go-karting (big mistake, apparently).

We all raced four or five times, jamming pizza in our faces between races.

Everybody thought it was some of the most fun we’d had in a while, and a great use of some dead time on our hands. And it was. It was a lot of fun.

Competitive juices flowing. Well-run facility. And of course, a podium ceremony at the end.

Then we get to the hockey game later that night… and the team absolutely flops. They lost to a weaker opponent that cost them a chance to go to the championship game. As my dad said, “They looked like they were watching the game on tv… and forgot they were playing in it.”

Looking back, it was this weird collision of, “Man, that was awesome. What a great idea.” And, “Okay, definitely don’t do that again.”

It’s this idea I’ve found myself coming back to since then:

Sometimes we're well-intentioned in taking on these incremental things. Maybe it’s things that aren’t just exciting for the business, but everyone on the team is excited about them too.

But at the same time, there’s an opportunity cost. Not just in time, but also in emotional energy.

Because you can be well-intentioned. You can take on incremental work or projects or just really want to lean into something that feels exciting.

But it might just mean you're not showing up as you should in other areas.

In both life and in business, there's only so much gas you have in the tank — physical, mental, and emotional.

I see founders and business owners all the time who try to take on too many things all at once.

The problem is, there's a max capacity that everyone can take.

That's the magic of building a successful business at any stage. It’s knowing when to go, when you have enough fuel in the tank, and when you just need to take a step back and breathe.

Maybe that means passing up an opportunity that's ultimately not as important so you show up for the thing that’s most critical.

Because at the end of the day, there will always be opportunities in front of us that we’ll want to lean into.

But that doesn’t always mean it’s a good idea.
