Chas Akers | Founder
Direct Marketer
In my prior life as head of Marketing for an up-and-coming DTC digital retailer, I had to create a controversial marketing strategy that would position the company for an IPO.
If not, we'd be out of business-for good.
In two short years…
The "impossible" was done.
Revenue
Increased 106% to
$107 MM
Customer Dbase
Exploded 190% to 1.3MM
ROAS
Increased 204% to 4.6X
Cost Per Order
Cut 64% to $25.00
Marketing Expense
Reduced 32% to $23 MM
* ‘23 Dollars
How? By leveraging catalogs and direct mail into our marketing mix. And being brutally efficient with the rest of the spend.
BTW, we were the only successful retail IPO of that year. Hint: The founder was Scott Galloway, a serial entrepreneur, thought leader, professor, and podcast host.
After that, it was time for the founding team to leave and let the "adults" run the newly public company.
So, I did what any sane person would do and became a "solopreneur." I left RedEnvelope.
My early work focused on helping brands like Disney improve their digital strategies.
However, I knew my clients would soon face slowing growth and unruly CAC in digital channels.
So, I shared the playbook I used to drive those insane results at my last corporate gig, which I learned from one of the leaders and pioneers of leveraging catalog marketing:
Williams-Sonoma.
And I want to share it with you.
