Startup Growth Hack:
Most brands fail not because CAC is high, but because LTV is too low.
You can’t grow if customers buy once and disappear.
Retention always beats re-acquisition.

#Email #Hacks:
Bounces from old corporate domains (like user@company.co) are churn signals.
Update those users via in-app alerts before they vanish from your reach.

Always test sign-up flow emails on Gmail, Outlook, and iCloud before launch.
You’d be shocked how often one of them silently throttles verification links.

Duplicate customer data quietly eats your profit.
If your CRM, ESP, and loyalty tool don’t talk, you’ll pay 3x for the same user.
One person, one ID - that’s how you stop losing margin.

Email deliverability logs can reveal user behavior before analytics do.
Falling open rates in onboarding emails often predict churn before it appears in product metrics.

Your first stack doesn’t need to be fancy - it needs to work.
Shopify + analytics + a fast abandoned-cart trigger can tell you if your product even sells.
Everything else can wait.

Email deliverability can be a pricing feature.
If you can guarantee inbox placement and uptime SLAs, that’s worth more than unlimited sends.

Most #Ecommerce teams over-engineer before they sell a single item. Early automation just scales wrong assumptions. Launch at a solid C+, get real data, and fix what doesn’t work.

Most “silent churn” happens when renewal reminders or usage reports hit spam.
Users don’t cancel - they just forget you exist.

Your onboarding funnel depends on one thing: the verification email landing.
If Gmail delays or flags it, activation drops - not because of UX, but because users never see it.

Why transactional emails matter.
Your SaaS first impression isn’t only the landing page.
It’s also the “Confirm your email” message.
If that lands in spam or looks sloppy, trust is gone.
Transactional emails are product experience.

Transactional emails are prime real estate and they get opened often.
You can use them to upsell: a banner, a small CTA.
But don't overload them with design, otherwise Gmail may dump you into Promotions.

ISPs trust visible branded links way more than redirect chains.
