Case study · E-commerce store

From $0 to $45,000/mo from email in six months

Lukas Vincevičius, Founder of MailyScaly · 2026-07-08 · Client name hidden — we share results, not names

We love this case precisely because there's nothing flashy about it. No clever growth hacks, no elaborate scenarios — signup forms, basic automations, and regular newsletters. A simple system, executed consistently. The result: a channel that didn't exist at all became the store's second-biggest revenue driver in six months.

Before (August 2025)
$0 from email

out of $77,845 monthly revenue (156 orders)

  • No email marketing whatsoever
  • No newsletters being sent
  • No automations, no signup forms
  • No list being built
After (April 2026)
$45,471 from email

25.2% of $180,716 monthly revenue (89 of 351 orders)

  • Automations: $39,414 (78 orders)
  • Campaigns: $6,057 (11 orders)
  • A steady 20–30% of revenue every month
  • The channel runs with zero client effort

The situation before

An e-commerce store came to us doing a steady $70–80K a month — entirely from paid ads and organic traffic. Email marketing simply didn't exist: no forms, no emails, no list. Every website visitor who didn't buy right away was gone for good, and every customer heard nothing from the store after the order confirmation.

In other words — the classic situation we see in most e-commerce stores: the business pays for traffic but never collects the second and third purchases it has already paid for.

What we did

Honestly — nothing you won't find in our public email flows guide:

  1. List building: pop-ups and signup forms — the list started growing from week one;
  2. Automations: welcome series, abandoned cart and abandoned checkout flows, post-purchase emails — the foundational set within the first days of work;
  3. Regular campaigns: weekly newsletters — offers, news, education;
  4. Ongoing care: deliverability fixes (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), segmentation, monthly reports, and continuous optimization.

The results in numbers

$0 → $45,471
monthly email revenue
25.2%
of all April revenue — from email
87%
of email revenue comes from automations
Omnisend report before starting: August 2025, email revenue $0, store revenue $77,844
BEFORE — Omnisend report, August 2025: email $0, store revenue $77,845
Omnisend report six months later: April 2026, email revenue $45,471, of which $39,414 from automations
AFTER — Omnisend report, April 2026: email $45,471 (25.2% of revenue), automations $39,414

What these numbers teach

Automations do the heavy lifting. 87% of email revenue ($39,414 of $45,471) came not from campaigns but from flows running in the background — emails that send automatically when someone abandons a cart, subscribes, or makes a purchase. They were built once at the start of the project and have been working every day since.

Simplicity wins at scale. The client had no big list and no experience — we started from zero with the basic system from our 7-flow guide. The fundamentals, done properly, delivered 80% of the result before we touched any "advanced" scenarios.

An honest note: total store revenue also grew over the same period ($78K → $181K) — ads and seasonality contributed to that, not email alone. That's why we compare the channel's share, not absolute numbers: from 0% to a steady 20–30% every month. It means roughly one in four dollars the store makes now comes from a channel that didn't exist six months ago.
