About the brand

A seasonal gifting brand staring down the biggest revenue week of their year with no email infrastructure at all. Zero to fully operational in a fortnight.

The challenge

What Was Holding Them Back.

Challenge 01

A season, not a runway

Black Friday was weeks away. There was no time for a slow build; every day without infrastructure was revenue walking past the door.

Challenge 02

A cold domain in a hot inbox season

Sending volume into Black Friday on an unwarmed setup is how brands land in spam for Q4. Deliverability had to be earned fast, without shortcuts.

Challenge 03

Gifting buyers the brand couldn’t see

No separation between self-purchasers and gift buyers, so no way to time the messages that matter: order-by dates, delivery cutoffs, corporate gifting.

The approach

How We Fixed It.

01

Days 1 to 4: foundation under pressure

DNS, a dedicated sending domain, suppression hygiene, and a warm-up schedule reverse-engineered from the Black Friday date. Sign-up capture live on day two to start building the engaged core.

02

Days 5 to 10: the seven flows that matter

Welcome, cart, browse, checkout abandonment, post-purchase, a gift-buyer split, and a delivery-cutoff countdown automation. Nothing speculative: only flows that would earn revenue inside the season.

03

Days 11 to 14: the Black Friday system

A structured offer sequence (early access, main event, extension, last delivery date) sent to engagement tiers in waves, protecting deliverability while maximising reach at peak.

The results

What Moved.

From no infrastructure to a channel that now leads every launch the brand runs.
