Buckle up because today’s episode is packed with gold. I’ve got Rytis Lauris, CEO and co-founder of OmniSend, on the pod, and let me tell you—this guy has been in the e-commerce automation game for over a decade.
With more than 120,000 customers worldwide, OmniSend is changing how brands do retention marketing, and today, we’re breaking it all down.
We’re talking about what’s working right now in e-commerce, what’s straight-up not working, and the biggest shifts happening in automation and customer retention.
Rytis shares some seriously insightful takes on how Apple’s privacy changes are shaking things up, why email marketing isn’t dead (despite what people say), and what brands need to focus on to stay ahead.
Oh, and we’re also tackling that big debate—should you ever remove subscribers from your email list?
Let’s go.
Key Topics:
- How e-commerce marketing has evolved over the past decade
- Why OmniSend is the go-to alternative to those overpriced enterprise platforms
- Is email marketing actually dead? (Spoiler: Nope.)
- How Apple’s privacy updates are changing the game for online brands
- The real way to keep your email list clean and engaged

Key Takeaways:
- Retention is king. Brands relying solely on acquisition will struggle; the real money is in repeat customers.
- Sunsetting subscribers too soon is a mistake. Engagement isn’t just about open rates—clicks matter more.
- AI can automate, but humans differentiate. The best marketing still needs a human touch to stand out.
- Customer-funded businesses stay agile. OmniSend has scaled without outside investment, proving that putting customers first wins.
- Apple & Google privacy changes aren't the end. Brands just need to adapt by focusing on first-party data and owned channels.
