You want to grow your list AND your revenue

But you struggle with…

Indecision – You aren’t sure where to start or what email marketing software to use.

Overwhelm – You just don’t know how to get started or motivated again!

Uncertainty – You don’t know what to write or how often to send emails to your customers. What’s too much?

Get ready to take this one step at a time!

5 Weeks, 5 Lessons with lots of guidance, helpful tips and your questions answered!

In this challenge, you’ll be invited to join 5 weekly Zoom calls where I’ll teach LIVE every week. If you can’t attend live you’ll get access to the replays for 60 days!

You can search Google for everything I’ll teach in this challenge but you won’t find a clear path for brick and mortar retailers who want to use email marketing as a tool to grow.

I teach through ACTIONABLE WORKSHOPS. We get into the nitty gritty and I love sharing RELATABLE examples because I’ve worked with hundreds of indie retailers like you.

Let me share my aha moment with email marketing…

I’m Kathy Cruz, the face and voice behind Savvy Shopkeeper.

I OWN a store myself! In 2021 I dug into my stats before our busy Holiday season. I learned that revenue at my own store went up 44% the week following our bi-weekly email newsletters.

Talk about an aha moment!

I quickly realized that email marketing needed to be a priority in my business… instead of an afterthought.

Introducing

The Email Marketing Challenge for Indie Retailers

The challenge where you’ll learn that email marketing doesn’t have to be hard for your retail business.

Let’s get down to business

Here’s what I’ll cover…

We’ll meet every Monday for five weeks on Zoom where I’ll teach LIVE at 3pm EST.
Can’t make it live? No biggie! You’ll get access to the replays for 60 days!

WEEK 1 – Monday, August 1, 2022

Getting Started with Email Marketing

During week 1 you’ll learn how valuable email marketing can be for retailers, you’ll commit to a software program, you’ll learn about 12 list-building techniques and we’ll talk about those dreaded unsubscribes!

WEEK 2 – Monday, August 8, 2022

Create a Plan & Design

Week 2 is about starting small and keeping things simple. You’ll choose an email frequency and set up a system for accountability and repeatability. You’ll learn about email design options so you don’t have to design from scratch, I’ll share 12 content ideas and I’ll give you a link to a valuable resource just for retailers!

WEEK 3 – Monday, August 15, 2022

The Writing & Layout Process

This week’s goal is to help you use a variety of content and email styles with catchy subject lines and effective layouts to create engaging customers! I’ll teach you my simple 2-step system for creating emails!

WEEK 4, Monday, August 22, 2022

Strategies & Advanced Techniques

This is where we dig into the backend of your email software so you can implement strategies for your email marketing…beyond the routine singular newsletter. I’ll make segmenting and workflows less intimidating!

WEEK 5 – Monday, August 29, 2022

Automate, Systematize & Delegate

We’ll wrap up this challenge by creating an email marketing system that’s simple and efficient so you can spend time doing other things for your business. Want to clean up an old list? We’ll talk about scrubbing your subscriber list too!
