About The Brand:

Beauty & Personal Care

Free The Roots is a natural skincare and haircare brand known for handmade, all-natural products and a mission centered on transparency, sustainability, and community-driven growth. Despite a strong social presence and passionate audience on Instagram and YouTube, their email strategy was underperforming, leaving significant revenue potential on the table.

Challenge:

When Free The Roots first reached out, their email efforts weren’t driving meaningful revenue or growth:
  1. They had only two basic flows (welcome and abandoned cart), generating limited monthly revenue.
  2. Few campaign sends led to poor deliverability — the account was effectively “cold.”
  3. Subscriber growth was stagnant due to a low-performing opt-in strategy.
  4. They were approaching the holiday peak season without an effective email engine.

Our Approach:

Deliverability & List Cleanup:

We conducted a full audit and cleaned out low-quality addresses to restore inbox performance.

Why It Worked:

  • Strategic Timing: Aligning email flows with critical lifecycle and holiday moments amplified purchase intent.
  • Restored Deliverability: Cleaning the list and improving sending frequency meant more emails landed in inboxes, not spam.
  • Customer-First Messaging: Better targeting and personalized offers kept audiences engaged and triggered conversions.
  • Holistic Lifecycle Optimization: From acquisition to re-engagement, every stage of the email journey was mapped and monetized effectively.

Sending Emails,But Not Seeing Results?

If email feels like an afterthought: inconsistent sends, low engagement, and minimal revenue impact... You’re not alone. Without a clear lifecycle strategy, even the most engaged audiences stop converting.
