Why DTC listeners should care:
As acquisition costs rise and margins tighten, converting the traffic you’re already paying for is non-negotiable. Liam shares how Instant helps brands like ThirdLove, Truly Beauty, and Karen Kane generate compounding email revenue—often seeing 11–21x ROI in weeks, not months.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Instant identifies and emails 40% of anonymous visitors
- What makes Instant AI’s flows more effective (and hands-free)
- Real-world case studies showing rapid, scalable email revenue growth
- Why retention teams are using Instant as their co-pilot for Q4 prep
- What separates brands who see huge value vs. those who don’t
If your site gets traffic but your email list isn’t growing fast enough—and your flows aren’t converting as they should—this is the bonus episode to get ahead before Q4.
