Email Isn’t Dead — You’re Just Doing It Wrong

If we had a dollar for every time someone said “email marketing is dead,” we could retire and live off the drip campaigns.

Here’s the reality:
Email is one of the highest-ROI marketing channels today.

But only if you stop treating it like a megaphone and start using it like a conversation.

At Good Vibes, we help brands turn email from an afterthought into a powerful, automated relationship builder that works 24/7.

Why Email Still Works in 2025

In a world of fleeting social media attention and rising ad costs, email gives you something rare: direct access to your audience.

  • No algorithm changes
  • No boosted post fees
  • No “hope this goes viral” strategy

Just a message in someone’s inbox — where you can show up consistently, add value, and make an offer when the time is right.

The Problem: Most Emails Suck

Here’s what most businesses do wrong:

  • ❌ Write like a robot

    You’re talking at people instead of talking to them.
  • ❌ Send generic blasts

    One email for everyone = relevant for no one.
  • ❌ Only send when selling

    If your audience only hears from you when you want something, don’t be surprised when they stop opening.

Our Approach: Emails People Want to Open

Here’s how we build email systems that people look forward to:

  • Segment Your Audience Like a Pro

    Not all subscribers are created equal. We segment based on:

    • Behavior (clicks, opens, purchases)
    • Funnel stage (new lead, warm lead, loyal customer)
    • Interests (what they actually care about)

    This means people get emails that are relevant, timely, and useful.

  • Write Like a Human (Not a Brand)

    We write emails with personality — because your subscribers are real people. That means:

    • Conversational tone
    • Subject lines that spark curiosity
    • Body copy that tells a story or solves a problem
    • Clear, compelling CTAs

    If your email sounds like it was written by ChatGPT 1.0, we’re not doing our job.

  • Automate the Smart Way

    We build automated flows that feel personal, including:

    • Welcome sequences that build trust from Day 1
    • Abandoned cart recovery that doesn’t feel pushy
    • Post-purchase flows to increase loyalty and upsells
    • Re-engagement campaigns to win back cold subscribers

    Once set up, these flows drive revenue on autopilot.

  • Test Everything. Track What Matters.

    Every subject line, every send time, every button — we test it. Then we track what actually matters:

    • Open and click-through rates
    • Conversion rates
    • Unsubscribes (and why)
    • Revenue per email

    We don’t chase vanity metrics. We chase results.

Email Is a Relationship — Not a Sales Pitch

  • Educate
  • Entertain
  • Inspire action
  • Keep your brand top of mind — without being annoying

It’s not magic. It’s just good marketing.
