EMAIL & SMS MARKETING FOR CLOTHING BRANDS

You paid to get that customer. Why sell to them once?

We build the email and SMS system that brings customers back: automations that run on their own, and campaigns timed around your drops.

Free call. We look at your store and ads live. You keep the plan whether you hire us or not.

Let's be honest. Your list is probably the most ignored money in your business.

You pay Meta to find a customer. They buy once. Then you pay Meta again to find a new one, while the people who already trust you hear nothing, or get another 20% off email.

The strongest days we've ever seen came from a list, not from ads alone. One of our brands did $75,992 in a day on a month with $741 of ad spend. That demand was built before the drop.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

When the list is ready, the drop looks like this.

Time A Tell. Segmented November texts in Postscript. Different people get different messages, instead of the whole list getting the same blast.Read the drop day sequence

Sales are Shopify total sales. These are some of our best results, not a promise of what you will make.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY WRONG

Five problems we find in almost every account.

Most brands are missing the easy money first.

"Customers buy once and disappear."

What it usually is: no post-purchase or win-back flow, so nothing happens after the first order.

What we do: build the flows that bring them back at the right moment for your product.

"I have a list but nothing is running."

What it usually is: the automations that earn while you sleep were never switched on or never built.

What we do: audit every flow, build what's missing and check each one fires.

"Every email is a discount."

What it usually is: discounts became the only reason to open, and your margin pays for it.

What we do: mix in drops, stories and gifts, and keep discounts for when they do real work.

"I collect numbers but never text them."

What it usually is: no plan, and fear of annoying people.

What we do: build a drop-day text sequence and a calendar with limits on how often each person hears from you.

"My emails go to spam."

What it usually is: list health, sender setup or sending to people who stopped opening long ago.

What we do: check your sending domain, clean the list and send to people who actually engage.

LIST SCHOOL

What every clothing brand owner should know about their list.

Tap a lesson. Each one ends with something you can do today.

1A text gets read in minutes

Email gets opened over hours. A text gets read right away, which is exactly what a limited drop needs.

Free game: use email for the story and text for the moment the drop opens.

Read: the drop day SMS sequence
2A drop is only as big as your list

One fresh brand we launched had about 2,500 subscribers going into its first drop, added about 500 more during it, and did $11,000 that day.

Free game: turn your password page into a signup page before the next drop.

Watch: the $124K password page
3Build these flows first

Welcome, abandoned cart, abandoned checkout and post-purchase. They fire on what a customer does, so they earn while you sleep.

Free game: check all four are switched on today. Many brands find one is off.

Watch: email automations
4Pre-orders need their own emails

A customer waiting weeks needs to hear from you, or they start asking for refunds. Timelines also have to be honest, because of the FTC Mail Order Rule.

Free game: send a progress update before anyone has to ask where their order is.

Read: pre-order vs pre-made drops
5Segment before you blast

People who bought last week and people who never bought shouldn't get the same message. Sending to people who stopped opening can hurt your inbox placement too.

Free game: split your next campaign into buyers and non-buyers, and change one line.

6Get consent right

Text marketing needs clear opt-in. Do it right, or you risk fines and a blocked number. Your platform's signup tools handle most of this if you use them.

Free game: never import phone numbers into a text tool unless those people agreed to get marketing texts.

QUESTIONS

What people ask us on every call.

Which platforms do you use?

Omnisend, Klaviyo and Postscript. If you already use one, we build there.

Will this spam my customers?

No. Automations only fire on what a customer does (signs up, leaves a cart, buys), and campaigns follow a calendar with limits on how often each person hears from you.

How much of my revenue should come from email and SMS?

It depends on your list, your product and how often you drop. We look at your real numbers on the call and tell you what is realistic.

Can you also fix my website and ads?

Yes. Most clients have us run ads, the website, email and SMS together, so every part of the funnel works for the others.

Does the call cost anything?

No. The strategy call is free, and you keep the plan whether you hire us or not.

Show us your list. We'll show you what it's missing.

We open your store and your ads with you on the call, show you where the money leaks, and give you the plan in order. You keep it whether you hire us or not.
