No segmentation (everyone got the same email)

18% open rate, 1.2% CTR. Email revenue was $14K/month.

Takeaways

Key learnings

Segmentation wins

VIP segment had 4.2% CTR vs 1.8% general list.

Mobile matters

Redesign alone drove +10% opens.

Copy tone converts

“Refined elegance” language outperformed discount messaging.

Automation scales

40% of monthly revenue ran on autopilot after Month 2.
