🛠️ The Fastest Way to Grow Revenue? Stop the Leaks
Think of your brand like a bucket. If there are holes in it, pouring more water (traffic, ad spend) won’t fill it.
Most ecommerce brands obsess over growth hacks. New ads, flashy influencers, viral TikToks.
But here’s the truth: your biggest revenue gains often come from fixing what’s broken.

🔍 Where Most Brands Leak Revenue
Here are the most common leaks we find when auditing ecommerce stores:
Email Deliverability
If your emails are landing in spam, you’re invisible.
Many brands run campaigns that never even reach 20% of their audience.
Fix: authenticate your domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), warm up sending, and clean inactive subscribers.
Broken Flows
Abandoned cart emails with broken links or missing product images.
Post-purchase flows that stop after a single “thank you.”
Fix: audit all automations quarterly. Test every link. Add urgency + cross-sells.
Unoptimized Pop-Ups
A bad signup form means wasted traffic and higher CAC.
Fix: A/B test copy, add non-discount incentives (early access, giveaways), and use mobile-friendly triggers.
UX Issues on Site
Slow load speeds, hidden CTAs, confusing checkout steps.
Fix: run a CRO audit, simplify checkout, and use trust badges where drop-offs are highest.
Segmentation Gaps
Sending the same email to VIPs and one-time buyers.
Fix: segment by engagement, lifetime value, and product interest
⚡ Real Impact
One brand we audited had:
A cart flow that wasn’t firing on mobile.
A welcome pop-up converting at just 2%.
Fixing those two things alone added $45K/month in recovered revenue. No new ads. No extra spend.
âś… Takeaway
The fastest way to grow revenue isn’t by adding more.
It’s by patching the leaks already costing you money every day.
