Major campaigns vs micro-offers

Episode Description

Most eCommerce brands are obsessed with traffic.

But what if the real growth lever isn't more clicks? What if it's better monetization of the audience you already have?

In this special training, originally delivered live in partnership with Omnisend, Ezra Firestone breaks down the exact framework he uses across his 8-figure brands to turn email and SMS into 30–40% of total revenue.

This episode goes far beyond "send more emails." You'll learn how to structure a merchandising calendar with major campaigns, micro-offers, product launches, live events, and strategic content that keeps revenue flowing all year long while building a more valuable business asset you can eventually sell.

If you care about profit, retention, and long-term brand equity, this is required listening.

"Email and SMS are king and queen of revenue, and they should really account for 30 to 40% of your total sales. And if they're not… you got work to do." – Ezra Firestone
