Email can help you make millions of dollars even for industries where ads are banned! Check out this episode to see how my team and I helped a high-ticket ammo brand generate $9.4 million in 24 months using only email and SMS marketing. We tripled their open rates, built 20+ high-performing flows, and turned content-driven emails into $30K–$100K campaigns, without spending a dime on Meta or Google Ads. 👉See the full playbook we used here: https://thebudaimedia.com/case-studies/how-we-helped-an-ammo-brand-generate-9-million-usd-with-email-marketing/  Now, ammo is one of the toughest product categories to scale online. With ad restrictions across Meta and Google, brands like this can’t rely on paid traffic. That means email isn’t just important—it’s everything. When they came to us, their email setup was barebones: one abandoned cart flow, no segmentation, no strategy, and a list that wasn’t being used to its full potential. Over the last three years, we changed that. Here’s what I’ll walk you through:How we built their entire email marketing ecosystem from the ground up—including 20+ automated flows that reflect how their customers actually shopThe surprising success of content-based campaigns that outperformed sales promos and brought in up to $35K per sendHow we improved open rates from 18% to nearly 50%, and click rates up to 7.7%, just by segmenting smarter and sending better emailsAnd why email now drives over 58% of their store’s total revenue 🔔 Thanks for listening!
