Two sends a month, zero flows, 1% of revenue.
- Email was squeezed into launch weeks: 8 campaigns in four months — every one a product launch, silence in between. SMS barely existed.
- No automation at all — no welcome series, no abandonment recovery, no post-purchase. Flow revenue in early 2025: exactly $0.
- The whole channel attributed ~$2.4K a month — 1.2% of store revenue — and the list was growing at a fraction of its potential.
