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.
Black Friday was weeks away. There was no time for a slow build; every day without infrastructure was revenue walking past the door.
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.
No separation between self-purchasers and gift buyers, so no way to time the messages that matter: order-by dates, delivery cutoffs, corporate gifting.
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.
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.
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.
From no infrastructure to a channel that now leads every launch the brand runs.
