What we did
The studio had 1,800 email addresses from the shop till and had never sent a newsletter. We set up a welcome series, then one monthly email with a single story from the studio and a single offer.
Every link carried a tag, so the report could split sales by email and by version: the photo of a mug in use beat the product shot every month.
