You're listening to The Ecom Show, the podcast where we dive deep into the minds of top e-commerce entrepreneurs, marketers, and agency owners to uncover the most effective strategies and tactics for scaling your brand.

I'm your host, Daniel Budai, e-commerce retention marketing expert and founder of Budai Media.

Before we jump into today's conversation, just a quick reminder, if you enjoy the show, subscribe and share it with at least one friend. We don't run ads and rely solely on organic growth, so your support means the world.

In this episode, I'm pulling up the actual dashboard and walking you through the exact SMS strategy we used to generate $760,000 in three months for a home decor brand - starting from zero.

We're talking $152,000 from automations alone in January, 16% conversion rates on flows, and campaigns that printed $24,000 in a single month.

This wasn't a small brand figuring things out. This was a 7-figure brand doing over a million per month that had zero SMS infrastructure and contacted us in late October - right before Black Friday.

It's not about blasting your list with promotions. It's about building the automation foundation first, layering strategic campaigns on top, and coordinating both channels so they grow together instead of competing.

This is a full case study breakdown with real numbers, real flows, and real takeaways you can implement.
