βCan you guarantee that a fixed percentage of our revenue will come from email?β

How we answered
We understand wanting a firm number, and we share the goal. But revenue depends on three groups of factors. Some we control directly: automation architecture, segmentation, messaging, campaign structure and ongoing optimization. Some sit with the business: pricing, promotional flexibility, inventory, site conversion, checkout, traffic quality and approval speed. Others come from the market: seasonality, competition and consumer spending. Promising a fixed percentage regardless of how those move wouldn't be responsible for either side. What we commit to is disciplined execution: rebuilding underperforming flows, expanding segmentation and testing continuously, against clear targets.
