Boost Revenue with Better Email Flows ft Megan Brewster | Hard Corps Marketing Show | Ep 461

How can a smarter email strategy, not just more emails, transform your customer engagement and revenue?

In this episode of The Hard Corps Marketing Show, I sat down with Megan Brewster, co-founder and lifecycle marketing expert at Bright Iris Marketing. Megan brings deep expertise in lifecycle marketing, data-driven decision-making, and automated email flows, sharing the strategies businesses need to scale their email performance without overwhelming their audiences.

Megan breaks down why blasting your list with more emails isn’t the path to growth. She reveals the importance of targeted, timely messaging and why understanding your audience segments, especially your highest-value buyers, is essential. Megan also dives into the massive, often untapped potential of automated flows, the importance of clear design and strong calls to action, and how to use data and testing to continuously refine your communication strategy.

In this episode, we cover:

• More emails don’t mean more revenue, over-sending can actually suppress engagement. Targeted, timely messaging that speaks to audience needs will always outperform sheer volume.
• Measure your campaigns and automated flows against industry benchmarks to understand what’s truly working. If metrics like engagement and revenue exceed standards, you’re on the right track.
• Flows like abandoned checkout, onboarding, and post-purchase journeys can generate up to half of your email revenue when optimized. Review them regularly to keep content relevant and high-performing.
• A clear message, strong visual hierarchy, and a call to action above the fold dramatically increase reader engagement. You have only seconds to capture attention, make the main point obvious fast.
• Not every A/B test will be groundbreaking, but consistent experimentation leads to steady improvement. Focus on refining what works rather than constantly reinventing your email strategy.

If you’re ready to upgrade your email marketing with strategies that are both practical and proven, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss!
