This episode dives into the evolving landscape of email and SMS marketing for scaling e-commerce brands. It emphasizes moving beyond basic automations to strategic, revenue-driven retention efforts, providing actionable frameworks and templates to audit current setups, map customer journeys, and build high-impact campaigns tailored for growth in 2026.
The retention tactics that got your eCommerce brand from zero to $1 million won't take you from $10 million to $50 million - and trying to force them will create bottlenecks that kill your growth. In this episode of Send It!, Jimmy Kim and Chase Dimond reveal why most successful brands hit retention plateaus and break down the five critical areas where your email and SMS strategies must fundamentally evolve as you scale.
