Email & SMS marketing for ecommerce brands

Grow your profit,
not your ad spend.

We’re a retention agency for DTC founders who are tired of relying on Meta for every sale. We build retention strategies and systems around your brand that help you turn subscribers into first-time buyers, and first-time buyers into repeat customers.

Our mission

extra revenue for your brand

Stop paying twice for the same customer.

Ads get more expensive every year, and most brands go quiet after the first order. We turn the customers you’ve already paid for into repeat buyers, aiming to add 25–40% to your revenue, with email doing the heavy lifting and SMS supporting it.

Problems most brands face

  • Buyers order once and disappear.

    We build post-purchase emails and value offers that give them a reason to come back for a second order.

  • Every email goes to everyone.

    We build segments from your store data with custom integrations, so each customer gets the message that fits.

  • Discounts are the only reason to buy.

    We design emails around your brand, so customers buy for more than a code.

What we do

Everything your list needs to keep selling.

  • Audits

    Identify gaps in your email setup, flows, list health, and signup forms.

  • Segmentation

    Use customer behavior, purchase history, and engagement to send more relevant messages.

  • Flows and campaigns

    Automated journeys for first and repeat orders, plus campaigns built on real customer insight. No recycled templates.

  • A/B testing and CRO

    Test messaging, offers, and signup forms to improve conversions using real data.

  • Deliverability

    Review list hygiene and sending practices to support inbox placement and sender reputation.

  • Retention

    Find opportunities to encourage repeat purchases, reduce subscription churn, and increase customer lifetime value.

    Research

    We learn your brand before we build anything.

    • Competitor review and gaps you can own
    • Brand voice and offer documents written for your team
    • Every email starts from real insight, not a template
  2. 02

    Your plan turns into live emails in 15 days.

    • Flows, campaigns and segments set up in your account
    • Copy and design handled for you, start to finish
    • Sending set up properly so you land in the inbox
    • Every message built to raise order value and repeat orders
  3. 03

    Grow

    Launch is the start. Every month after, results build on each other.

    • Monthly A/B tests and flow improvements
    • Personalization from what customers tell you directly
    • New flows added as your brand grows
    • New offers tested, plus subscriptions if they fit your products

Why Prime Retention

We work differently. Good emails are the minimum. Data and code are what set us apart.

The usual way

Other agencies

  • Templates with your logo dropped in
  • Decisions based on best practice and hunches
  • Segments limited to what the platform offers
  • Discounts as the main reason to buy
  • Reports on opens and clicks
  • Slow, unclear setup

Our way

Prime Retention

  • Emails designed and written for your brand
  • Decisions based on your store data
  • Custom integrations that build sharper segments
  • Reasons to buy that go beyond a discount code
  • Reports on repeat purchases, lifetime value and profit
  • Core flows live within 15 days

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still unsure about something? Send us a message below.

We review your flows, campaigns, segmentation, list health, deliverability and reporting, then walk you through a prioritized 90-day roadmap on a call. There is no obligation to work with us afterwards.

We plan, write, design, build and test your core automated flows: welcome, abandoned cart, browse abandonment, post-purchase, replenishment, win-back and sunset. Core flows go live within the first 15 days of the program.

No. Once your flows are live they keep running on their own. Ongoing support is for brands that also want campaigns, testing and continuous optimization.

Yes, as a complement to email. We add SMS where it genuinely helps, such as cart reminders, shipping updates and back-in-stock alerts, and keep email at the core of your retention program.

No. Flow setup is a one-off project with a fixed price agreed up front. If you want ongoing campaigns afterwards, that’s a monthly plan you can stop at any time.

It depends on your traffic, list size and starting point. Automated flows start working as soon as they go live, and the audit gives you realistic expectations before any work begins.

Book a free audit call. We’ll ask a few questions about your brand, review your current setup and show you what we find.
