The problem

Critical gaps were limiting email performance.

Ettika was already an established DTC jewelry brand with real revenue. Email was running, and running hard, but the system underneath it was working against itself.

Fragmented flow architecture

Over 30 flows existed with overlapping triggers. The same customer could sit in three at once, which caused fatigue and lost revenue rather than adding it.

Broken personalization logic

Dynamic blocks were malfunctioning, so the content people received often had little to do with what they had browsed or bought.

Weak deliverability infrastructure

Authentication protocols were incomplete, which quietly capped inbox placement no matter how good the send was.

Low quality list structure

50,000 dormant profiles were dragging deliverability down and inflating the platform bill every month.

Customer fatigueLow relevanceInflated platform cost

The rebuild framework

Fragmented automations became a modular lifecycle.

Consolidation before creation. Thirty overlapping flows became a smaller set that each do one job, on infrastructure clean enough for them to land.

InfrastructureConsolidationSegmentationDesign
Pillar 1

Infrastructure reset

Authentication fixed, list cleaned, sender reputation restored. 50,000 dormant profiles removed, deliverability 61 to 71, and roughly $800 a month saved in platform costs that were being spent on people who never opened.

Pillar 2

Modular flow system

Thirty-plus overlapping flows consolidated into a modular lifecycle: welcome, abandoned checkout, abandoned cart, browse, post-purchase and winback. One job each, with exit conditions that actually fire.

Pillar 3

Behavioural segmentation

Segments built on what people did rather than who we guessed they were. Post-purchase branched by first product bought, because the first purchase turned out to predict the second.

Pillar 4

Design elevation

Improved hierarchy, clarity and mobile experience, matched to Ettika’s brand positioning rather than a discount template. Open rate went 55% to 71% and unsubscribe rate fell from 0.66% to 0.29%.

The creative

Email design was elevated to match the brand.

Ettika sells jewellery that people wear to be looked at. The email had to carry that. Improved hierarchy, cleaner mobile layouts and photography given room to breathe, with behavioural segmentation deciding who saw which piece.

The results

Email became a primary revenue driver.

The engagement figures below are from the rebuild window. The live account has kept compounding since: flow revenue is up 174% year on year and revenue per recipient rose from $0.61 to $0.86, so the growth is efficiency, not just more sending.

The first product someone buys predicts the second. One flow was averaging that away.

The best post-purchase branch now repurchases at 26.1%. The weakest sits at 6.0%. A single unsegmented flow would have averaged those into one unremarkable number and hidden the entire insight.
