Ecommerce teams bring us in on email & sms acquisition when the pattern is familiar: blended CAC creeping up while spend flattens. We start with pop-up & capture testing, move into sms opt-in strategy, then run zero-party quiz flows against a scoreboard the whole team can see. The target is 2–4× list growth rate — and higher opt-in quality that keeps compounding after we hand the email & sms acquisition playbook back to your team.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Email & SMS Acquisition in ecommerce, and what does the service include?+
Email & SMS Acquisition is a services engagement inside our Growth & Acquisition practice, focused on list growth playbooks that feed the lifecycle engine. Every email & sms acquisition engagement ships 5 concrete deliverables: Pop-up & capture testing; SMS opt-in strategy; Zero-party quiz flows; Welcome journey rebuild; Deliverability audit. Everything lives in a shared workspace with a weekly build log, so you see progress in real time rather than waiting for a monthly slide deck.
Which ecommerce brands are email & sms acquisition services the right fit for?+
Our email & sms acquisition service is designed for growth-stage DTC and marketplace brands. If the problem sounds like "blended CAC creeping up while spend flattens", this engagement is built for it. If you're pre-product-market-fit or under ~$1M in trailing revenue, we'll usually point you to a lighter Sprint or a Diagnostic instead of a full email & sms acquisition retainer.
How much does email & sms acquisition cost, and what are the pricing tiers?+
Three engagement shapes for email & sms acquisition: Sprint (fixed scope, 4–6 weeks — best for a one-question email & sms acquisition audit), Partner (quarterly retainer with weekly ship cadence — the most common shape for email & sms acquisition), and Advisory (fractional, 6 or 12 months). Nothing performance-based — we've seen that misalign incentives every time. Exact pricing depends on scope; you get a written proposal after the intro call.
How long until we see results from email & sms acquisition?+
First read in 30 days, compounding by day 90. Our target is 2–4× list growth rate inside the first quarter of the email & sms acquisition engagement, and higher opt-in quality that stays with your team afterwards.
What are the main benefits of hiring a email & sms acquisition agency vs. building in-house?+
Speed and pattern recognition. A dedicated email & sms acquisition agency has run the same play across dozens of ecommerce brands, so you skip the 6–12 months of trial-and-error an in-house hire would need. You also avoid fixed headcount cost: the engagement flexes up during launches and down between them.
Who actually runs the email & sms acquisition work, and how is it reported?+
A senior operator owns the email & sms acquisition account end-to-end. No junior AM behind a dashboard, no offshoring. Reporting is tied to MER, contribution margin and new-customer LTV. Every week we publish a build log with what shipped, what the data said, and the next bet. Every month we run a business review against forecast — no vanity metrics, no cherry-picked screenshots.
