the brand

Gains in Bulk is a premium direct-to-consumer supplement brand focused on whole-food-based formulas with zero synthetic vitamins or minerals. Their hero product — Instantized Creatine — is the only 100% soluble creatine monohydrate in the world.

Their audience consists of disciplined, consistency-driven customers (ages 30–50) who value purity, performance, and long-term health over hype.

the challenge
  • Email managed by one person juggling all marketing channels
  • No real campaign system — 1 campaign/week, sent same day
  • Flows hadn’t been updated in over a year
  • Heavy reliance on discount-driven emails to compensate for lack of strategy
  • Deliverability issues: 25–30% open rates with 100k+ profiles but only 20–30k engaged
  • Email accounted for ~28% of revenue (goal was 40%+)
the goal
  • Turn email into a predictable, scalable revenue channel without relying on discounts
  • Improve deliverability and engagement across the list
  • Increase list growth via higher-converting popups
  • Build long-term infrastructure for scale
the strategy
  • Infrastructure + consistency + non-discount education-based messaging
  • Analyzed customer behavior and built a lifecycle strategy designed to educate, build trust, and convert without margin erosion
  • Build a consistent campaign engine (3–5 emails/week)
  • Rebuild and modernize core flows
  • Fix deliverability and sender reputation
  • Use segmentation to increase engagement and inbox placement
the execution
  • Full Klaviyo audit and brand analysis
  • Built a complete lifecycle strategy with 40–60 emails across 8–12 core flows with segmentation and engagement filters
  • Tripled popup opt-in rate in the first two weeks — dramatically increasing list growth and downstream revenue
  • Deliverability reset: paused low-engagement flows, sent only to 14–30 day engaged segments, put unengaged profiles to rest, gradually re-warmed the domain
  • Scaled campaigns from 1x/week to 3–5x/week built around FAQs, education, product clarity, and objection handling
  • Re-angled past winning topics instead of inventing new offers
  • Rebuilt 11 core flows, launched 40+ emails, added upsells, cross-sells, and advanced logic over time
the results
  • 2x monthly email revenue in 60 days
  • 54.6% of total store revenue from email & SMS
  • Open rates climbed from ~25–30% to 60%+
  • 200% increase in popup opt-in rate and list growth
  • Scaled from 7-figures to 8-figures
WHY THIS WORKED
  • Rebuilt the customer lifecycle from the ground up
  • Fixed deliverability before scaling volume
  • Focused on trust, education, and clarity instead of discounts
  • Built systems that compound over time
