Email revenue recovery: the flows that pay for the list
Most email lists are under-monetised. A small set of behavioural flows typically delivers 20–35% of email revenue with minimal ongoing work.
Key takeaways
- Welcome, browse abandonment, cart abandonment and post-purchase are the four core flows.
- Flow revenue depends on trigger precision, not message volume.
- Review flows quarterly; decay begins around 90 days.
02
Trigger precision beats send volume
A cart flow sent 30 minutes after abandonment with one clear CTA usually outperforms a daily newsletter blast. Timing, suppression rules and personalisation based on cart value matter more than copy polish.
03
Quarterly flow maintenance
Check open rates, click rates, revenue per recipient and unsubscribe rates by flow. Refresh creative every 90 days. Retire flows that no longer beat your broadcast baseline.
