224: 2,000 emails: Zero Campaigns. Here’s What I’m Doing About It

Is email marketing dead? Well, Candace sure hopes not - because she's been sitting on over 2,000 customer emails from Dante and Dory's for the last 5 months and has done absolutely nothing with them. And as a business coach who sends emails like a well-oiled machine at Pet Boss Nation, that admission is a little uncomfortable to make. But here's the truth: email marketing still delivers an average ROI of $36-$42 for every $1 invested. And 60% of consumers say email influences their purchasing decisions. So it's time to stop treating it like it's dead. In this episode, Candace shares the exact 5-email framework she's implementing at Dante and Dory's - so you can take action too! She shares: 🙌 Why email marketing is NOT dead (it's just neglected and underutilized) 🙌 The 2025 stats that prove email is still the #1 customer retention tool 🙌 Why you OWN your email list (but you don't own Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok) 🙌 The KPIs she'll be tracking  Plus the reframe you need: If you're already collecting emails, already paying for software, and already working hard to get traffic - NOT using email consistently is leaving money on the table. This is a slow season. There's no risk. Candace is taking it. Will you? Join Us Online Find us on Facebook Join our Free Pet Industry Facebook Group Follow us on Instagram Read our Blog
