With an incredible ROI of 3600%, meaning every $1 spent should return $36 in revenue, this channel should ideally account for 30% to 60% of your total sales. To help your business secure long-term online sales growth and shift reliance away from social media, we’ve compiled five foundational guides and case studies.

2. Email Sending Checklist
Since email errors cannot be edited after dispatch, this step-by-step checklist is essential for optimising your campaigns before they go out. The checklist focuses on three main areas: pre-send Q Review and Testing (previewing on desktop/mobile and verifying all links, including the logo), Strategy and Targeting (defining goals and verifying contact lists), and Content and Sending (determining optimal timing and setting up A/B testing with specific parameters, such as 10% to 25% for 2 to 24 hours). It also emphasises testing email delivery across major providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) to ensure your message avoids the spam or promotions folders.
