The Challenge

All Things BBQ had email marketing — they just had too many people doing it in too many places. One agency handled flows. Two internal team members ran campaigns. Creative was split between in-house and outsourced designers. Nothing looked or felt cohesive, and nobody had full visibility into what was working. The result: half their flows were silently broken. 10 of 23 live flows had generated $0 in the last 30 days. One browse abandonment flow had 6,500 people enter it — and 100% were filtered out before receiving a single email. No back-in-stock flow existed. Segmentation was minimal — only Yoder owners were in their own bucket, everyone else got the same emails regardless of what they bought or browsed. Their team was, in their own words, "spinning their wheels" — all hands on deck and still couldn't get it right.

Our Work

Campaigns

We took over full campaign strategy, copywriting, and design. We established a consistent monthly sending cadence and built segmentation beyond just Yoder owners — breaking out by product category, purchase behavior, and engagement. A unified design system was created across all emails to ensure every touchpoint felt cohesive.

Flows

We audited and fixed all 23 flows, rebuilding broken trigger logic for browse abandonment, product-specific flows, and more. Missing flows like back-in-stock were added based on what we identified in the audit. Every flow was brought back to actively generating revenue.

Operations

We consolidated email under one team — replacing the fragmented agency, internal, and outsourced setup. This freed up the internal team to focus on other priorities. We established a clear approval workflow, monthly planning cadence, weekly reporting, and monthly deep-dive reviews.

Results

Email attributed revenue grew 15.3% year over year while total store revenue grew 11% YoY. Email's share of total revenue increased from 34% to 35%. All 10 previously broken flows were fixed and actively generating revenue. Design and messaging were unified across all email touchpoints, and the internal team was freed from day-to-day email execution to focus on other priorities.
