The average brand in this industry generates $7 per subscriber that enters the welcome sequence. We do $27. This means we're extracting 3.8 times more revenue. Every single dollar going to ads is now suddenly "worth more". They have a healthier cash flow and finally experienced the "breakthrough" they'd been looking for for years. I've audited 100 welcome flows for 7, 8 and 9-figure brands. Some of them are optimized. Most of them are not. They're just a series of emails dropped into one sequence that are left untouched for 2 years. Here are 3 ways to increase a welcome flow's sales by as much as 200-300% – ranked by potential impact. 1) Improve the front-end offer. 10% off vs $10 off vs a $10 COGS product valued at $90. The last one is way more likely to get more subscribers AND buyers. This trickles down into every email in the sequence. 2) Make current emails better. The first email is arguably the most important one. Before adding an 11th email, it's worth optimizing the first one a couple of times. Put it through 3-5 rounds of big-lever A/B tests (entire emails against each other, not just subject lines tests). 3) Add more emails. Only after you've found what works, it makes sense to send more of that. ​Hope that helps. -Matt

The Klaviyo lemon. Some squeeze it with baby hands and get a couple sad drops. Others wring it dry with a gorilla grip. I got a reply from a reader last week. "We don't send long emails because customers don't read them, I think." It's a common belief. I used to worry about attention spans too. Then I looked at the data from our best-performing campaigns over the past 5 years. 10k emails. With swiss-like precision, every single one of them was long-form (excluding sales announcements and closes, and product launches for obvious reasons). Long-form emails work. The person who deletes a long email without reading it was never going to buy anyway. But the person who is considering buying from you is different. They are an Investigator. They joined the list because they are in the market for what you sell. They are currently weighing you against a competitor or two. They are looking for reasons to choose you. They WANT to believe. Short copy starves that decision-making process. It gives them less information when they are desperate for more. We've been working with Flatpack, a mattress company in New Zealand, for a year and a half now. Their pitch is simple: "We are cheaper and just as good because we cut out the middleman." The problem is that "cheaper and just as good" sounds like a scam in 2026. Everyone claims it. To make people believe it, we had to prove it. We had to explain the "showroom tax". The salesmen's commissions. The "sounds good, doesn't work" features that have no benefit at all. We had to adopt an "Us vs. Big Mattress" stance. That takes length. So we wrote long emails from Angus, the co-founder. We let his personality shine through. The result was 2-3x higher revenue per recipient compared to the average email. Investigators read, and buy from, long-form emails. If you want to get as much juice out of the Klaviyo list you currently have, I'd give them a try too. -Matt P.S. See examples in the video below

The exact kind of email copywriting required to sell to people who are apathetic, indifferent, and have brain-rotted attention spans. This is literally how consumers shop in 2026: Someone sees and clicks an ad. Lands on the product page. "Nice page". They leave (who buys "sight unseen" anyway? 5% tops?). They have other things to do. They get retargeted and read the entire page again. Doesn't buy, and the cycle repeats. I'm modeling 95% of consumers at any given time. An unsold visitor has more excuses than a pregnant nun. And it's normal. "Too expensive". "Maybe later". The fact they read the same page again won't change their perception or desire for your product. ​That change has to come from external forces. E.g. an email. ​A good email amplifies their desire so the next time they land on the website they actually want to buy. This is why we send long emails like this. If shorter emails worked, trust me, we'd send shorter emails and save ourselves the trouble of coming up with 600 to 1000-word long ones. ​But they don't. So we send long emails instead because our clients pay us to extract as much revenue from their Klaviyo as possible. And that means we have to amplify desire. Not just redirect the desire the ad already created. This works. It ain't easy. But it is what's required. Especially in 2026 when people are apathetic, indifferent and brain-rotted. At Email Engineers we do what's required. And if you'd like to have us extract as much revenue from your list as possible, with minimal time involvement from you – send me a DM.

How to hire an email marketing agency (my HIGHLY biased opinion as the founder of an email marketing agency): Here's a tale as old as Times New Roman. A founder or CMO decided they're finally at the stage where they can outsource email to an agency. They reached a healthy cash flow state and the brand is growing. They sign up. Then 10 days into the partnership they'd rather drag their jewelsack through a mile of broken glass than to keep working together: Email copy needs 10 rounds of revisions. They never seem to get the voice right. Designs keep looking like Canva templates. The operator chases them around and fixes things himself. He ends up doing half the work and paying someone for the privilege. Then he – naturally and understandably – becomes wary of agencies. You've probably heard about these horror stories. The bar is so low yet agencies keep tripping. That is why at Email Engineers I solved this at the root: I only employ native English-speaking copywriters, and I only hire designers with university degrees. Then on top I hire account managers whose only job is to keep strategists on track, so the client never sees a miss. We send our clients the drafts through a platform we designed, so approvals or revisions take a couple of clicks. It takes operators an hour a week of their mental time, at a maximum. For some it's literally zero. After a couple of months they just "auto-approve" every email. Which, when you think about it, is the whole point. You hired someone so you'd stop thinking about it. Anyway. If you're doing over $300k a month and want to see what we can do for you, send me a DM and we'll write you a sample. Costs you nothing to look. -Matt

sleep is a zero sum game
If you sleep 5 hours per night and die at age 75, you'll still have spent just as many years awake as a person who sleeps 8 hours per night and dies at age 89.

key to my 18-month average retention: every new client gets their own welcome box. inside i include: - a usb stick containing 13 exclusive photos of me in the bathroom - a shoelace i found in lisbon - a dvd copy of paul blart: mall cop 2 - one airpod, not mine - a crusty, printed screenshot of their linkedin profile with "nice" written on it - a fortune cookie with my calendly link inside - my emergency contact’s emergency contact - a polaroid of the box before i packed it works. try it.

Sending good emails is stupidly simple. I just ask myself 'what would a bad email look like?' and do the opposite instead
