SIX EMAIL FIXES THAT PRINT MONEY

I’m sharing this now because these weeks before Christmas can be a great time to run the easy fixes that set you up nicely in the year ahead. And you WILL see the revenue lift


1. Fix your footer
Outdated links, missing policies, and “no-reply” emails quietly kill trust right before the click. When was the last time somebody checked yours?

2. Rewrite abandoned cart emails like a human
Stop reminding people they forgot and start answering why they hesitated. See what’s working and “borrow” it or your flows will look outdated and dull.

3. Kill “no-reply@”
Two-way emails convert better, build trust faster, and surface objections you can sell against. No brainer.

4. Delay the welcome discount
Lead with proof and positioning first, or you’ll train customers to wait for coupons. Or look at the perks you can offer instead of discounting, such as bundled extras, free shipping etc.

5. Send one plain-text email a week
No design, one idea, one CTA. These consistently outperform “pretty” campaigns.

6. Clean your list aggressively
Cold subscribers hurt deliverability, which hurts revenue more than unsubscribes ever will. Get rid of those who didn’t bring anything to the party in 2025.

If you crushed Q4 against all the odds and ongoing chaos
my congratulations.

Seriously. That’s not easy right now.

But nothing spoils a Happy New Year like a hangover.

And unfortunately, January is when the math gatecrashes the after-party.

TAX!
The first surprise for a lot of brands is sales tax. Q4 growth quietly pushes you over nexus thresholds, and suddenly January comes with new state filings, backdated liabilities, and compliance costs. That “extra revenue” from peak season? A portion of it was never yours. You were just holding it.

REFUNDS
Then come the aftershocks from Q4 promos. Chargebacks and refunds spike in January. Returns hit both inventory and cash at the same time. It’s the double hit no dashboard celebrates.

COSTS
On the operations side, costs start reappearing. Inventory gets paid after the celebration: final production invoices, freight true-ups, and higher storage costs once peak is over. 3PL minimums reset. The revenue already landed, but the bills are just arriving.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
January is also renewal season, which feels very different now than it did a few years ago. Apps, SaaS tools, platforms and a growing stack of AI tools that were “just a test” in Q4 all quietly renew. Individually they seem manageable. Collectively, they’ve become a second payroll.

What are smart brands doing right now in December?

They reconcile what Q4 actually created, ringfence tax obligations, audit renewals, pressure-test inventory and cash assumptions, and slow down just enough to make January boring. Because boring in Q1 is usually what keeps you aggressive later in the year.

Wooooah there! Before you send your team off for their Christmas break with a Secret Santa gift in their hand and reindeer ears on their head
call them back for a quick CRO audit.

Because your holiday traffic can forgive errors that your January visitors will not.

Here are the top 5 things we always check before we switch off the lights for Christmas:

1. Black Friday / Cyber Monday pages still live
Expired promos and outdated messaging quietly confuse shoppers and kill trust.

2. Broken links and 404s
Peak-season campaigns leave behind dead paths that send high-intent traffic nowhere.

3. Offers referenced but no longer available
Banners, PDP copy, or emails promising deals that don’t exist anymore are instant conversion killers.

4. Shipping and delivery copy that’s out of date
“Order by Dec 18” in January is a credibility red flag, even if everything else looks great.

5. Temporary holiday apps still installed
Countdown timers, urgency widgets, and post-peak scripts slow pages down and make the site feel sloppy.

None of this is strategy, so you don’t even need a meeting. It’s basic holiday hygiene.

The most underrated lever in Meta Ads isn’t budget or bidding. It’s what’s usually called “Quality Score”.

That’s Meta’s internal assessment of relevance, driven by expected engagement, audience response, and post-click alignment.

And here’s the kicker: Meta charges you more when your ads aren’t relevant.

When we audit ad accounts, the expensive ones usually have the same issue:
The ad, the audience, and the landing page are all telling slightly different stories.

That mismatch tanks Quality Score, and Meta prices you accordingly.

This is why “scaling” often makes CPAs worse because although you think you’re breaking the system, you’re actually exposing relevance problems faster.

So don’t spend more or add more audiences.

Tighten up with:
‱ Clearer creative
‱ Sharper offers
‱ Landing pages that actually match the promise

Lower CPAs don’t usually come from clever hacks or new levers. They come from making it obvious, to real people and to Meta, why your ad deserves attention.
