🎙️ In Today’s Episode:


We have a special episode featuring two of our e-commerce partners—Femallay and Desert Does It. Both brands have been working with our agency for over a year, starting with email marketing and later expanding to Google Ads and SMS marketing. Today, we’ll take a deep dive into their journeys, challenges, and the results they’ve achieved through strategic partnerships.


💡 Meet Our Guests:


Aaron – CEO & Co-Founder of Femallay


Femallay is a feminine wellness brand dedicated to providing natural, toxin-free alternatives for women’s intimate health. Their product line includes vaginal melts for intimacy, menopause support, and cleansing, all designed to promote comfort and well-being through gentle, eco-friendly solutions. Aaron shares how he and his wife built the brand from the ground up, the struggles they faced managing everything on their own, and why they ultimately partnered with specialized agencies. He also reveals how email marketing continued generating revenue for months—even after they briefly paused the service—leading them to re-engage with our agency.


Sarah – Marketing Manager at Desert Does It


Desert Does It is a US-based brand specializing in patented off-road car accessories. Sarah walks us through their challenges with scaling consistently, improving conversion rates, and maximizing revenue from email marketing. She also shares how working with our team helped double their email marketing revenue in just a couple of months and how testing the right discount strategy led to more profitable conversions.


📌 Key Takeaways:


✅ How Femallay continued generating $8K–$9K per month from email marketing—even after they paused it

✅ How Desert Does It doubled their email marketing revenue in just two months

✅ The importance of Google Ads tracking & optimization before scaling ad spend

✅ How trying to DIY every part of your business can hurt your growth (and what to do instead)
