What if I told you 37% of all ecommerce email sales come from just 2% of emails sent? In this episode of Shopify1Percent Podcast, I sit down with Greg Zakowicz, Senior Ecommerce Expert at Omnisend, to uncover how to turn basic automations into profit machines. We dive into real-world strategies that top-performing Shopify brands use to grow, retain, and re-engage their customers — with tactics you can start using today. Whether you're sending one email a month or running complex flows, this episode is pure gold.
Key Take-aways:
📩 Welcome Emails Are Non-NegotiableSet the tone early — a strong welcome series drives conversions and builds trust from day one.
🔄 Automations = Cheat Codes37% of all email-driven revenue comes from automations like welcome series, cart abandonment, and product abandonment — even though they make up just 2% of total sends.
📦 Post-Purchase = The Most Underused GoldmineHelp customers get the most from your product after the sale. Think tips, tutorials, and how-tos — not just a review request.
📊 Back-in-Stock Emails Convert Like CrazyOmnisend’s data shows back-in-stock flows convert at nearly 6% — the highest of any automation.
⚙️ Segment by BehaviorUse clicks, product views, and cart value to customize flows — for example, only offer discounts to carts over $50.
🎯 SMS Isn’t Just for Gen ZEven Greg’s mom gets brand texts. SMS works across generations, and it's becoming table stakes for retention marketing.
🧪 A/B Test with PurposeForget button color. Test things that move the needle — like message type (plain text vs. graphic) and actual CTAs.
🔥 Support = Growth StrategyCustomers who interact with support during trial activate at nearly double the rate. Great support doesn’t cost — it pays.
🫶 Please support the amazing sponsors that make this show possible. They support us, so we should support them 🫶
Omnisend - I personally use Omnisend for every Shopify store I manage! I’ve tried them all and Omnisend is hands down the easiest way to set up email and sms automations and campaigns, leverage segmentation to personalize them, and A/B test everything to optimize conversion. The push notifications and gamified email collection tools are just the icing on the cake 🤌

What happens when you stop playing it safe with influencer marketing and start thinking like a CFO and a CMO? You get results like 772% growth in new customer revenue while decreasing CAC by 61%. In this episode of Shopify 1% with Cody Wittick from Kinship, we dive into what it really takes to scale a Shopify store today—from financial forecasting and creative strategy to why human-driven influencer content still outperforms AI. If you’re in that sweet $5M–$50M revenue range and wondering whether to hire in-house or partner with a growth agency, don’t skip this one. 🚀
Key Takeaways
📦 Product Seeding Still WorksSending free products with no strings attached to influencers can still drive massive UGC and ad performance—especially when managed at scale.
📉 Lower CAC + Higher LTV = Growth GoldmineBrands like Purdy & Fig saw 772% new customer growth while reducing CAC by 61%. It’s all about offer + creative + targeting.
🧠 AI Can’t Replace Authenticity (Yet)Cody breaks down why AI-generated influencers and UGC still fall short of the real thing—and why human connection still converts best.
🔮 Forecast Like a CFOGrowth without profitability is a trap. Kinship builds bottom-up financial forecasts tied to real cohort data, fixed costs, and customer retention.
🧪 Landing Pages Beat Product Pages (Most of the Time)They’ve seen conversion rates double using simple, focused landing pages instead of sending ad traffic to PDPs.
⚖️ AMER is the New ROASAcquisition Marketing Efficiency Ratio (AMER) gives a clearer view than just in-platform CPA, especially when measuring true new customer growth.
💡 $10K Growth Strategy? Start With Product Seeding + Content, Not Paid AdsIf you’re just starting, don’t spend your whole budget on paid. Use it to build an organic foundation and create lasting relationships.
