Challenge

No lifecycle revenue system in place.

At the start of the engagement, the firm generated no revenue from email. Communication was limited to announcements and updates, with no segmentation, no behavioral triggers, and no structured follow up after key decision moments such as checkout abandonment, challenge failure, or success.

Despite strong demand, trader intent was left uncaptured, resulting in silent churn and missed repeat revenue opportunities.

What We Did

Designed and deployed a retention-first lifecycle email system.

We designed and implemented a modular lifecycle email system aligned with trader behavior and decision timing. This included abandoned checkout recovery, post-failure recovery, post-success monetization, and authority-driven broadcasts. Each system was mapped to a specific psychological state, ensuring communication guided decisions rather than announcing updates.

Result

This engagement focused on transforming email from a passive communication channel into an active retention and decision system.

Within months of implementation, the firm scaled from zero to approximately $15,000 in monthly revenue. Email accounted for 53 percent of total revenue, with lifecycle flows recovering up to $5,000 per week at peak. Revenue became predictable and system driven rather than dependent on launches or acquisition spikes.

Email became a decision environment rather than a broadcast channel.
