If email marketing isn’t contributing 30–40% of your total revenue, you’re leaving serious money on the table. That’s not a bold opinion, it’s a benchmark we consistently hit (and exceed) for high-performing brands at Digital Six.
In a world obsessed with paid media, it’s easy to overlook email as a “set and forget” tool. But smart brands know better. Email is one of the few owned channels where you control the message, the audience, and the outcome. It builds relationships, drives conversions, and supports long-term customer value in a way few channels can match.
Why Email Deserves a Bigger Seat at the Table
Let’s break down what makes email so powerful:
Retention = Revenue It costs 5x more to acquire a new customer than to retain one. Email keeps your brand top-of-mind, nurtures loyalty, and increases lifetime value with minimal investment.
It’s Built to Scale Email flows, segmentation, and automation tools like Klaviyo allow you to scale without more manual effort. Whether it’s welcome sequences, abandoned cart reminders, or VIP exclusives, they work while you sleep.
Hyper-Personalised Messaging Gone are the days of batch-and-blast. Smart email marketing lets you target users based on behaviour, preferences, and purchase history – delivering the right message, to the right person, at exactly the right time.
It Supports the Entire Funnel From lead nurturing and product education to reactivation campaigns and post-purchase engagement, email doesn’t just convert, it compounds value.
So Why Aren’t More Brands Hitting the 30–40% Mark?
Inconsistent sending, poor design, weak copy, bad data, or missing flows, these are just a few reasons email underperforms. The truth is, most brands don’t treat email as a serious revenue channel.
At Digital Six, we flip the script. Using our partners at Klaviyo we build strategic email ecosystems that integrate seamlessly with your broader marketing, driving acquisition, conversion, and retention with clarity and precision.
