THEIR CONSTRAINTS

Before partnering with us, Sauna Space had a solid email foundation but wasn’t reaching its full potential.

Campaigns leaned heavily on promotions, lacked consistency, and weren’t personalized to different audience segments. Only 21 emails had been sent in the 90 days prior—most to the full list—limiting engagement and hurting performance.

Flows were underdeveloped or missing entirely, and there was no clear customer journey to turn one-time buyers into brand evangelists. Pre-purchase education, post-purchase experience, and retention touchpoints were full of gaps.

OUR SOLUTION

Launched a full flow ecosystem built around milestone conversions (sauna → upgrades → accessories → replacements)

Established a 90-day campaign calendar mixing content, education, product storytelling, and promos

Rebuilt campaigns with better segmentation, targeting, and design strategy to boost deliverability and clickthrough

Developed pre-arrival and post-purchase flows to reduce returns, reinforce value, and build trust

Rolled out split testing, monthly reporting, and optimization loops in sync with paid + product strategies

Activated SMS to support key flows and campaigns with segment-specific targeting

Retention Studios has been a great partner for Ancient Crunch. On the qualitative side, the emails they write are consistently send-ready with de minimus review for my team, they are active participants in building a campaign schedule, and frankly the emails are just beautiful. Quantitatively, Retention has helped us to dramatically improve our repeat performance, and account for 38.2% of our online business today.
