I’ve been thinking

If the world shifted again tomorrow the way it did a few years ago… would most businesses genuinely be ready for it?

Because lockdowns, restrictions, economic shifts, ai changes, platform instability… whatever your opinion is on all of it, one thing became very obvious:

A LOT of businesses were built without flexibility underneath them

And when things changed quickly, they struggled to adapt quickly too

Honestly, I think this is why I’m so obsessed with systems in business

Not because it’s the “sexy” side of business
(it’s usually not)

But because strong systems create stability when things around you become unstable

And this applies to both DTC and service based businesses

Can your customers still find you if social media disappeared tomorrow?

Do you actually own your audience?

Do you have nurture systems in place?

Do you have repeat purchase systems?

Could your business still generate revenue digitally if things changed overnight?

OR is everything relying on:
~ daily posting
~ constant visibility
and hoping people remember you exist

The businesses that survive long term usually aren’t the loudest

They’re the most adaptable

And adaptability usually comes from what’s happening underneath the business, not just what people see online

The importance of a subject line is so much bigger than people realise

And honestly?

I’m getting really tired of seeing brands use deceptive subject lines purely to trick people into opening emails

Not only is it bad for your brand
it’s ethically gross

Yes, subject lines matter

Yes, psychology matters

Yes, preview text matters just as much

But your job is not to manipulate someone into opening an email under false pretences

Your subject line should reflect what’s actually inside the email

Because every time someone opens an email expecting one thing and gets another…

You damage trust

And trust is literally the foundation of good email marketing

A strong subject line doesn’t need to be misleading

It needs to:
~ Create curiosity
~ Feel and be relevant
~ Connect to the reader
and work WITH the preview text strategically

That’s the difference between understanding psychology
and just using clickbait

Short term opens mean nothing if people stop trusting your brand long term

Everyone right now is frothing over AI and automation like it’s some revolutionary new business concept

Meanwhile email marketing has been quietly nurturing leads, building customer relationships, and driving revenue in the background for decades

Long before everyone started slapping “AI automation” onto everything

Yet most businesses are still barely using it properly

Half built flows
No segmentation
Campaigns sent whenever someone suddenly remembers email exists
and “automation” that’s really just the same generic email blasted to everyone

Meanwhile email is sitting there quietly capable of:

~ Nurturing leads
~ Guiding buying decisions
~ Increasing repeat purchases
~ Building trust
AND generating revenue while you sleep, work, parent, spiral or pretend to switch off on holiday while still checking Shopify notifications

THAT is why I love email marketing so much

Not because it’s “pretty emails”

Because it’s infrastructure

And once you understand how powerful it actually is, you stop seeing email as “another marketing task”

You start seeing it as one of the highest leverage systems inside your business

The businesses winning long term won’t just be the ones using more AI tools

They’ll be the ones smart enough to build better systems underneath their business first

STOP BRIBING PEOPLE TO JOIN YOUR EMAIL LIST

One of the biggest mistakes I see DTC brands make?

Immediately offering:
“10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER”

Before trust exists.
Before positioning exists.
Before the customer even understands the brand.

And honestly?
I think it often attracts the wrong customer.

Not always.
But often.

Because discounts tend to attract:
~ Lower intent buyers
~ One time purchasers
~ Customers trained to wait for sales
~ People shopping based on price, not brand connection

What I’ve seen work incredibly well instead for many DTC brands:

A low cost, high perceived value gift with purchase.

Especially in Beauty, Wellness, Food & Homewares

Because psychologically, a gift feels different.

A gift feels:
~ Thoughtful
~ Premium
~ Exclusive
~ Intentional

Whereas a discount feels transactional.
And that difference matters more than most brands realise.

One protects your positioning.
The other can slowly train discount dependence over time.

The best email systems don’t just drive conversions.
They shape customer behaviour.
That’s the real job of email marketing.

Not just getting the first purchase, but influencing how customers buy from you long term.

You’re sending emails
But they’re not generating consistent revenue

That’s the gap

Not effort
Not frequency

Structure

I see businesses showing up every week

Emails going out
Opens coming in
Clicks happening

And still… nothing really moving

Because everything is disconnected

No clear path from subscriber to buyer
No system guiding decisions
No visibility on where revenue is actually being lost

So more gets added

More emails
More campaigns
More noise

Instead of fixing what’s underneath

When I look at an email system, I’m not starting with copy

I’m looking at:
1. Where people enter
2. What they experience first
3. How they’re segmented
4. Where they stall
5. Where money is leaking

Because that’s what actually drives performance

Flows should be converting in the background
Campaigns should create timely spikes in revenue
Data should tell you what to optimise next

Same system
Running every week
Getting sharper over time

That’s how email becomes predictable

Not something you “hope” works

If your email isn’t delivering consistently
there’s a breakdown somewhere in the system

And that’s the part most businesses never fix
