CASE STUDY
A Gmail update cut email sales in half a few years ago. Here’s the solution we used to 2X opens, 4X clicks & take back our revenue.
Gmail made a big algorithm change in January 2022.
All the sudden, brands like ours — that follow best practices and send emails our customers actually want — found themselves in the spam folder.
Oh, and our email sales plummeted overnight.
We tried everything to fix it: changing our copy, mailing to different segments, even hiring a service… but nothing worked.
Then we found the solution.
Our resident email expert and your course instructor, John Grimshaw, has proven the power of these strategies firsthand: shifting to a dedicated sending domain and running a strategic warm-up email sequence.
In just a few short weeks of implementing these tactics, we 2x’d our open rates and 4x’d our click-through rates — and the positive results have kept coming!
Algorithm changes and updates from major email providers like Gmail are ongoing and unpredictable, which means warming up your sending domain and nurturing your subscriber list regularly isn’t just a one-time fix; it’s a best practice for ongoing success. Companies that consistently warm up their email lists often see significant improvements in deliverability and engagement over time.
Whether you’ve experienced a drop in performance due to these changes or not, we recommend you start preparing now. Taking proactive steps ensures that your email revenue remains stable during critical promotion periods — just like it did for us once we adapted to these new practices.
We cover the entire 4-step process (including plug-and-play email templates for your warm-up sequence) in Module 6 of Smart Email Marketing to help you stay ahead of any updates and maintain a healthy email list that drives consistent revenue.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m John!
I’m Smart Marketer’s data-obsessed CMO, and in my career I’ve sent over 443,000,000 emails.
But more importantly for you, in just 12 months I doubled Smart Marketer’s email revenue using the same email system I teach in this course.
Which is amazing because Ezra is a fantastic email marketer who had already generated millions of dollars with this sales channel.
But hey, it just goes to show you that even a marketer as smart as Ezra can’t possibly manage everything on his own.
As the business owner his attention was split a dozen different ways, so even though email was already Ezra’s biggest revenue generator, he knew that to grow the brand he needed someone who could focus on email full time.
So when Ezra made me his CMO, managing the email list was my highest priority.
You may not realize it, but an email specialist is one of the most important roles on any marketing team.
This person does a heck of a lot more than just send out blog posts: they generate the most revenue, engage with the most customers, and help grow the brand’s most valuable asset — your email list.
And if you don’t invest in your email specialist and give them the tools they need to succeed, it doesn’t just hurt your email revenue — it lowers ROI from every other channel.
That’s why we created Smart Email Marketing.
In this program, I will help you or a team master the skills I use every day as a professional email specialist, so you can drive more email revenue for your own business or any brand that hires you.
