Fractional lifecycle & CRM · DTC brands

You worked hard for the first sale. Let's make it the first of many.

Winning a new customer is expensive. Reaching someone already on your list is not. I build and run the email, SMS, and Klaviyo flows that bring customers back — with fixed pricing set up front and a monthly report showing the revenue they earned.

Who this is for

You're great at winning customers. Keeping them is a lot of work.

I can help if…

  • You're a consumer or DTC brand on Shopify
  • Your welcome, cart, and win-back flows are thin or absent
  • You have a Klaviyo account that's underused
  • You're not sure your ad and social spend is paying off

Probably not if…

  • You need occasional product descriptions
  • Lowest cost per word is the priority
  • You need paid acquisition or search, not lifecycle
Services

Three ways to work together. One set price.

Most brands begin with the audit, then move into ongoing work or a single flow. Whichever you choose, you'll know the scope and the price before anything starts.

1 Begin here · The audit

The audit

A review of your email and SMS program — every flow and every key metric, measured against industry benchmarks. You leave with a clear, prioritized plan — the specific fixes that will grow your revenue most.

How the dollar estimates work

I use your real numbers — how many people abandon a cart, sign up, or place an order each month, and what a typical order is worth — then apply how well that type of email usually performs across similar brands. For example: 2,000 abandoned carts a month, an $80 average order, and a typical recovery rate puts an abandoned-cart flow at roughly $10k a month.

What you get
  • A scoring of every existing flow based on what's converting and what's not
  • The high-value flows you're missing, and what each is worth
  • A clean, engaged list — I identify inactive subscribers before they hurt your inbox delivery
Diagnostic $1,000
The complete audit as a written report, with every finding and recommendation laid out and ready for you to act on.
Most chosen
Diagnostic + Walkthrough $1,500
Everything above, plus a working session where we go through the findings together and map the plan — so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.
The audit fee is credited toward your first month if you begin ongoing work within 30 days.
2 Ongoing · Monthly lifecycle work

Ongoing lifecycle management

I run your email and SMS from end to end, for one flat monthly rate. Here's exactly what that includes:

  • Your core revenue flows built and maintained — welcome, browse, cart, checkout, post-purchase, and win-back — written and set live in Klaviyo
  • A monthly campaign calendar: I recommend the sends, write and build them, or execute the ones you already have planned
  • Ongoing testing and list care — subject lines, timing, segments, and offers refined month over month
  • A one-page monthly revenue report, plus a call to walk through what email and SMS earned and what's next
$4,500–6k / month · sized to your brand
3 Targeted · Single flows

A single flow, built to order

One complete flow — any of welcome, browse, cart, checkout, post-purchase, or win-back — for a fixed price and timeline. Each build includes:

  • The full sequence mapped — timing, triggers, and logic
  • Every email written, designed, and built in Klaviyo
  • Segmentation and A/B tests set up from day one
  • Set live and tested, ready to earn — start to finish in two to three weeks
$1,500–2k / flow · fixed, quoted up front

About

Agency-trained. Small-business grit. Performance-proven.

My skill set combines the strategic, editorial writing I learned in agencies and the performance expertise I built running lifecycle programs for independent brands. I focus on email and SMS — the channel most brands underuse, and the one they actually own. Meta and Google can change the rules overnight; your list can't be taken away. It reaches people who already know you, at a fraction of the cost of paid ads, and it starts making and saving revenue fast.

Good lifecycle copywriting respects the person on the other end — who's really just someone like you or me. Get that right, and they come back.

— Becky
I use AI to draft variants and stress-test ideas — but the brand voice, the strategy, and the final judgment remain mine.

The most profitable sale you'll ever make
is a repeat customer.

New customers cost money to win. The ones already on your list cost almost nothing to reach — so nearly all of that sale is profit. Tell me about your brand and I'll show you where to start.
