Scott Austin here.
In this episode, I'm going to ask just one question and have you think about it for your business. And that is how aggressive is your marketing? What I'm going to do to demonstrate this is I'm going to go through a ecommerce store's emails that they've sent me for the past month, and I'm going to do this in a video.
if you're listening to the audio version, you
you can go to the show notes and see the link for the video. Now, the brand that we're going to talk about is Bearskin Tactical. And I bought a hoodie through them about six months ago. I'm not related. I've never worked on the business or have any any relationship with them at all.
So it's just as a customer. I've watched what they've been doing and I'd say they're very aggressive in their marketing, and today we're just going to focus on their emails. So here it is as I'm recording this in late January, and if I look back to a month ago, this email that you see on the screen right now is from the 26th of December.
So it's the day after Christmas and I'm going to go through all the emails they sent me in the past month and there were 62 of them. So you're going to see how often they send email, you know, on average twice a day for the past month. And how they're doing that in January, which is typically a slow time for businesses.
So on this first email, it's an ongoing email. It's a Christmas clearance sale. And in the emails they use a lot of graphics. And the graphic that I'm looking at right now is a gif, but it's just it's a really simple gif actually. It just you know, has a little bit of a highlight and color of text and a little bell kind of rotating difference because they said, Hey, we've extended the sales of the bells, let you know, Hey, you're running out of time kind of thing.
And these are a lot of emojis in their email and they actually do a good job reading brief little
copy. But copy, that's kind of relevant and seems, you know, personal to the situation going on
Bear Bearskin uses a tactic in their marketing that I do not recommend for almost any brand and that is they lie right and what it is is you'll see here up to 70% off sale extended today and they say this is the biggest sale ever.
Cylance today, 70% off. Get it now before it's gone. Let's actually read the copy. Right. Hey, Scott, it's Bruce from Bearskin Tactical. As the Christmas lights dim, so does our extended sale. So don't let the deals melt away. There's still time to snag your favorite bearskin gear at discounts up to 70% off, plus free delivery on orders over $115.
When you're gearing up for the next adventure. A cozy evening in this is your last call. So what they're lying about here is the sale, right? They actually don't put their products on sale. What they do is their products are always well, the right way to say it is their products. They'll say, hey, this is a $300 fleece.
And it right now, you know, it's only $99, so it's 67% off. The thing is, no one would ever buy that fleece for $300. So they're their list price base. And then they have a more realistic, probably still a bit of a high price, but it looks cheaper because you get to see 67% off and then never changes.
Right. So all these the sale here that we're talking about, when the sale is over, the prices on the products will not have changed the next day. All right. So that's the lying part of what they do.
it seems to work for them because as I've watched these guys for the past six months, you know, they're adding new products to their catalog.
They're doing more and more emails are doing more and more ads. I see them across more and more things, which to me is just an indication that this strategy is working for them. Would not recommend this exact strategy for most people of lying about a sale. But I do think there's a lot to admire in how aggressive they are in the number of emails they send out and how unique the copy is and all that kind of stuff.
So I think they're worth looking at as a case study. So I click on the Shop now button on this email, and what I love about your shop now Buttons is they actually have fire emojis in them, right, to, you know, get that excitement or urgency going kind of thing. I guess a nice little touch. And I click on that and it takes me to here's another one of their best practices that I would not recommend and that is right now as I'm recording this in the end of January, it's beer week, whatever organization has beer week, right?
So the landing page I landed on is, you know, a category slash offers.
they're recycling their landing pages for different campaigns. I would recommend it's a best practice using a different landing page for each campaign so that you can reuse them next year and then they stay in the SEO for the next year. So if people are looking for beer week deals next year, if you left your beer week sale page up, they're more likely to find you than had you recycled that page and use it for something else.
But in this sale that we're looking at, they actually are sending the customer to a collection page where they see all the different products and they can see the astronomically base list price and then what their sale price is sale in air quotes, and they can see the savings, which is, you know, anywhere from 33% to 67%. So it looks like it's a huge sale.
But like I said, every day of the week, it's the same numbers. They don't they don't change their prices. Not that I've seen at least. I'm sure they do it a little bit sometimes.
But they've got this
compelling mail. You know, they've got this animated graphics going on. They've got a personalized message about this one. That's not the same message on the previous email or the next email.
They've got really good photography for their products that they include in their email. So the photos look great
and then we'll go on to the next email. All right. So this is the Christmas clearance sale extended ends today, up to 70% off. So we go to the and this is on the 26th of December. The next email was on the 27th of December.
The next day, flash sale, the bear skin waterproof jacket, 60% off, free to end free delivery shop now And now they have a lot longer copy on this one. We'll actually read it for a little bit here. Soggy, damp and downright disappointing. Most waterproof jackets on the market will either make you sweat because they don't breathe or they leave you freezing because the wet material clings to your skin and it goes on and on.
So they actually they write good copy.
They're explaining their products, how they're differentiated, they're timely, they're relevant to the topic they got going on. You can tell they've got probably a full time, dedicated person just on email because each email is different than the previous email. If you're going to send 60 emails in 30 days, you cannot send the same 60 emails.
You know, over the 30 day time period in each one of the ones I got from them is different now. You'll see they recycle a lot. You know, they've got, you know, recipes or formulas going on. But they are unique emails in this one is a flash sale on a specific product. So the previous email was an extended sale for all of their products in their catalog.
Now they switch your tactics flash sale one day only for this specific product you see here back on the 27th of December, it's a 60% off. They click on that shop now linked. It'll take me to that product and magically it's still 60% off because they never change their prices. Now the nice thing they do on this product page, this one was about a product.
So take me straight to the product page and they've got a lot of good content on their product. They're really good at building out marketing. I remember I said, How aggressive is your marketing? So if you look at their product photos, you know, they got a lot of great product photos, you know, manly men wearing their stuff. They've got infographics that they've made.
They've even come up with terms and, you know, you know, unique term for their, their
features. And then they even have a you know, because this email sent them to the product page about a specific product. But they also say select your style to top. And it's other types of products. They're all, you know, well, not all men's sweat pants, but I have a choice between a hoodie, a woman's hoodie, a soft shell, which is the product that I clicked on in the ad, a vest in a sweat pants.
So if this email was too specific, they give you the chance to swap out and see what those other products will look like. Also, normally I don't recommend that, but because they're doing so much aggressive marketing and bringing new customers to their store, straight to their product pages, it's probably a good idea for them to add their product page level to be promoting other products.
So that's email number two. It's 62 of these to go through. Now, I won't take as long for all of them. You'll start to see some trends here though, right? So that was on the 27th of December. The next email is on the 28th of December. This one has an animated gif. This guy has, you know, got a motion going on and now this is the New Year's winter clearance sale.
Their last sale just ended sale in air quotes ended two days ago
Their new sale with all products up to 70% off and free delivery starts on the 28th. The exact same sale but they use different messaging right. So welcome to a fresh start with their skin. Our New Year's winter clearance is your tickets. Epic savings on top notch outdoor gear Dive into the unbeatable comfort, durability and style of bearskin hoodies, jackets and accessories up to 70% off, plus free delivery on orders over $115.
So same sales, same basic message, but they do change up the copy, right? And each one has a different animated gif at the top of it. And that's the big bold part of the page that looks different every time.
So now let's go on to the next email. So this was December 28th, the next one is also December 28th, and this one says, you know, another enemy to gift New Year's winner clearance sale, all products up to 70% off.
So the same sale promoting it again it's time to kick off 2024 and style the bearskin New Year's winner clearance is live with the entire store up to 70% off for sleek free delivery on orders over $115 from badass hoodies to rugged jackets, this is your chance to snap top tier gear at prices that won't mess with your gains.
Don't sleep on it. Let the adventure begin. So they sent out this an email. Two of them in one day for the same sale and a lot of my clients are always hesitant like, if I send out two emails on the same day about a sale, my customers are going to know with me. They're going to unsubscribe.
But the reality is, most people today consume email like it's a feed, like an Instagram feed where, you know, 20 years ago we consumed email like a queue in a queue. You went through all your emails, you checked them all out, you archive them, deleted them, whatever you're going to do in an Instagram feed, if you don't see that post today, you're not going to see it tomorrow because there's new content showing up.
So most of all, manage your inbox today like a feed and not a queue. So even if you send out two emails in the same day about the same sale, most people are not going to see both. Most people actually wanted to see either one, which is one of the reasons you need to send so many emails
now that is December 28th.
Let's go to the next one, December 29th. We're still talking about our New Year's winter clearance sale. All products up to 70% off and free delivery. This one says our New Year's clearance brings you exclusive discounts on the gear that's ready to take on any adventure, dive into the unbeatable quality style of bearskin hoodies. Now 67% off, plus free delivery on all orders, over $115.
So next day they're promoting the same sale. Now, the next email once again on December 29th, the same day as the previous one, once again promoting that sale, different banner image and different copies. It's only a paragraph of text, but it is fresh and different from the previous one sent out. Next email is December 30th. Once again, we've got a new graphic.
This one is the New Year's winter clearance sale. So the same sale is still going on now they're copy once again unique. Our winter clearance extravaganza is in full swing, offering mind blowing discounts on the coziest hoodies, rugged jackets and more. Everything up to 70% off, plus free delivery on orders over $115. And they show all their products and link to them on this email.
That is December 30th. The next email again, December 30th. Now they're doing they're showing another unique image. And the copy on this one is time to heat up things with the bare skin. Winter clearance are hoodies and jackets are are on a rampage, bringing you warmth and style at insane prices. Everything at 7% off. So they're getting a little more aggressive with their copy there.
It sounds like maybe just having fun with it. The next email, December 31st, New Year's winner clearance sale ends tomorrow. So now they're starting to establish a sense of urgency. Are sales going to end on the first of the year? The clock is ticking on our winter clearance and tomorrow marks the end of epic savings. Our entire store up to 70% off, plus free delivery on all orders, over $115.
This is your final call to score unbeatable deals on hoodies, jackets and more. Seize the moment and gear up for a winter filled with adventure and style. Now, remember,
this is the sale is completely fake. There's no change in their price, but they're using this to create an artificial sense of urgency. Now, you with a respectable brand should probably have a real sense of urgency, but senses of urgency are effective in driving behaviors.
Now we click on the link to this The sale page
is that beer week landing page. So like I said before, they're using that landing page over and over again, which I would not recommend doing the
Next email, same day, December 31st. Now I've got this red flashing light lit from the top of an ambulance.
New Year's winter sale ends tomorrow, so they're enhancing that sense of urgency. Time is running out on bearskin winter clearance and you don't want to miss this. Grab your gear before it's gone. So now it might be out of stock. Also creating another artificial sense of urgency. And let's kick off the new Year in full beast mode unleashed the Savage within last call for epic deals.
So they're letting them know, Hey, this is your last chance to get these fabulous products on this deep, deep discounts. Before we end our sale, let's go to the next email. It is now January 1st. New Year's winter clearance sale ends today.
Another unique new graphic the moment is now. Today marks the end of our winter clearance. And this is your final chance to snag top tier gear and mind blowing prices, hoodies, jackets and more await you get everything up to 70% off, plus free delivery on orders, over $150. Act fast and embrace the warmth and style of bearskin peace.
Happy New Year. I love that little piece. It's kind of cute.
So once again, all a complete lie, but it's driving behavior right there, creating these senses of urgency. They're getting their name in front of their customers over and over again. So now it's January 1st, another one on January 1st. New Year's winter clearance sale ends today. The copy is the bearskin winter clearance is in its final hours.
This is your last call to score insane deals on imagery, the rest of it. All right, let's go to the next one. Jan uary second, New Year's winter cleared sale extended 24 hours only, so our sale expired yesterday, but they're extending it for another day. Great news due to popular demand. We've extended our winter clearance for one more day.
This is your bonus chance to grab hoodies, jackets and more at jaw dropping prices. Everything up to 70% off, plus free delivery on orders over $115. Don't miss out on the additional hours. Seize the opportunity now.
Next email. January 3rd. It's the next day. And this say not one email on this extended sale in air quotes I'm doing here.
So now we have a flash sale Lumberjack it 2.0 60% off. I think we had another flash sale earlier so they had a long period sale over Christmas. Then they had a flash sale. They did another long period sale of her New Year's. Now we have another flash sale. This one's about one specific product. So they go in a little more detail about that one specific product.
They show some of the good imagery and infographics. They have it. If I click on the shop now link for that product, it takes me to the product page. And here they're doing another really good marketing thing. So I can buy one of these for $99 and they have, you know, like a product option to buy to and save money because they're only $94.95 each.
If I buy two and if that's not good enough, I can buy three and they're only 8996 each. In reality, you're spending $270, but they list the prices not on the total price, but in the price each of the products. And I absolutely love that. I love that I do that in a lot of my stores. We actually show the full price, so we're going to charge them for the three products.
But we do show the price each because then the customers can easily look at the price each and go, I am saving money by buying more. And I think this is an absolute genius is best practice that many stores could be leveraging, right? Allowing your customers to buy in multiple quantities and seeing that savings right there on the product page.
So that flash sale for that jacket was on the January 3rd. We go to January 4th and we now start our winter clearance sale. I forget the name of the sale that was over New Year's,
but now there's another one. Two days later, the bearskin winter clearance has officially kicked off and it's your golden ticket to Epic Savings on all of our tactical gear.
Whether you're gearing up for outdoor adventures or just want to stay cozy in style, we've got you covered. And here's the kicker All products are up to 60% off. Plus, enjoy free delivery on orders. Over $115 is the same value prop every single time because it must be working for them right now because they do this so much, their average length of customers getting emails before they unsubscribe is probably not that long unless the people are really fans of the product and they stay, you know, watching it kind of thing because they are rolling out new products all the time and expanding their catalog.
you know, some people will argue and maybe rightfully so, that this is going to wear out the ability of customers to stay on the list. And that may be true for some of them. But that's the kind of looking at the metrics in your in your marketing. You get to see, you know, if you push with more aggressive marketing and that increases your sales, but it decreases your list size over time, it's just a business equation.
Which one is better for you? Is the increased sales outweigh the benefits you could have from people on your list for a longer period of time? Right. And you know, only you close to the brand looking at your numbers can make that decision, but you can look at the numbers and make that decision.
So this winter clearance sale is on January 4th.
We go to our next email. It is January 4th. Again, they are promoting the winter sale, new graphic, new copy. I'm not going to read every paragraph of copy from now on because they become a little bit similar, but they do change the copy every time. And I'll show you that a couple of times, because I really do respect the energy and effort they're putting in to making sure that every email is different and unique from all the other ones.
All right. So now we have the winter clearance sale is ending tomorrow and our email says time is ticking on our winter clearance and tomorrow marks the end of epic savings. This is your final call to score unbeatable deals on all your tactical essentials, and that is on the 6th of January. We go to our next email still on the 6th of January explaining, Hey, the sale stops tomorrow.
It's your last chance. Hurry now get these fabulous savings.
Now the next emails on the seventh savings Today we've got an alarm clock with a bright red exclamation point, creating that sense of urgency, letting people know that the moment is now. Today marks the end of our winter clearance. And this is your final chance to snag top tier tactical gear at mindblowing prices, which, by the way, will be the exact same price they have tomorrow.
So here we are, January 7th sales ending
another email on January 7th sailings. Today, the clock is ticking
and guess what happens on January 8th? You'll never guess. Yes, they've extended their sale. Their winter clearance sale has been extended, but great news due to popular demand. We've extended our winter clearance for a couple more days. Well, not even for a day on this one.
This is your bonus chance to grab hoodies, jackets and more at jaw dropping prices. All products are up to 60% off and the icing on the cake, get free delivery on orders. Over 115 out, $15 as January 8th, January 8th, another email on sale being extended
January 9th, which are clearance sale last day. So our extended sale is about to expire.
Another email on January 9th. This one just this last day and then the animated graphic and all their graphics. I think all of them, if not almost all of them, are animated and they're not complex animations and not as little movie screens. It's just alternating between highlighting a little bit of text or having the clock gif move a little bit or something like that.
But each one has really big bold banners that are easy to read and do have some animations in them to grab your attention.
So that is January 9th,
January 10th.
So our sales over our extended sale ended. Guess what happens the next day? You guessed it, a flash sale. This one's for the bear skin hoodie 3.0, 67% off and because it's a product flash sale, they go into a lot of information about the product they show they're really good product photography and they're
infographics.
If we click on the Shop now button, it is going to take us to their goods, their good product page that also highlights the other products that may be interesting to me,
and that is on the 10th of January. We go to our next email. It is now on the 11th of January and you'll never guess what happens on the 11th, the day after the flash sale, the day after their last full sale for all their products, winter survival sale, all products up to 60% off the trees Bear So this is going back to their copyright their copies unique every time the trees bear, the winds howling and the chills biting.
But with their skin, you're more than ready to face the tail end of winter. Our winter survival sale offers everything you need to stay warm and active, with up to 60% off, plus free delivery on orders over $115. If we click on this one, it says Brace the cold for the call to action button with the fire emojis.
And it goes to that same collection that they keep reusing over and over again for their landing page on their sales. So that is on the 11th. The next email is on the 11th. It is all about the same sale. The next email is on the 12th. Now this one, So they've got their sale on going supposedly, right, with that sense of urgency, limited time.
But in the middle of this one they actually promote a product new in bearskin waterproof rain jacket. And I don't know if this one's actually new at this time or if it's been around for a while. They have launched a lot of new products lately, but they use new a lot. You know, like, hey, check out our latest and greatest products where I'm not sure, you know, it's it's brand new.
They might have been promoting this for the past three or four months kind of thing, but this one might actually be new. But this one talks about the product and has a call to action being 33% off. They can buy, you know, one for $79, buy two. It's $75 each by three at $7 each.
And that is on the 12th of January.
We go to our next email. We're still on 12th of January. Now, this is an interesting one because it's the first time I think we've seen and we've been through about 30 emails without a big banner image at the top. And this one is about a product. So it's about the Bearskin Lumberjack, which is a flash sale a few days ago, and they're just promoting it again.
And because, you know, they've always got these prices that are, you know, some reasonable prices, although I think this jacket being $99 seems a little bit expensive. But they say, you know, was $249. Right. So every single message they put out gets to say you're saving tons and tons of money because, you know, they're selling their own products.
So they could say, hey, the list price is $250, but they're selling it right now for only 99.
All right. So that is the 12th of January. The next email is on the 13th of January. We still have our winter survival sale going on. It ends tomorrow. So you got to catch the final deals is the call to action.
This one's copy as winter makes its final frosty stand. Don't get left in the cold. Are winter survival sales wrapping up. You've got just until tomorrow to claim your bearskin gear up to 60% off. guess what? You also get free shipping of $5 just for the sale. All right. Our next email
is a product one again. So they're putting a lot of product ones in the middle of the sale to be interesting.
Understand why they're doing that. But this is their bearskin hoodie takes you straight to the product page, which always shows as 60% off.
It's interesting on this product and this is like their their flagship product on the product page. They've actually got today's date in the ad to cart button and says January 28 -67% off select size now So they're that little date thing probably updates every single day.
And just another thing creating that artificial sense of urgency that this fabulous 67% off price could go away tomorrow and you're pay $300 if you come back.
we go, that's January 13th. We've got our next email. Also on January 13th, another product, new arrival, the bearskin Bomber jacket. They talk a lot about the product. They show the great photography and infographics they have for it.
I would imagine the call to action takes you to the product page. It does. And this one has the buy one by two for lesser price and by three for even more savings. Type merchandizing
the next one also on the 13th. This one is about the all weather jacket, which is their Greenland jackets, their promoting a lot of their products in this day or two that we're talking about here.
They send out an email for like three or four products in a row that we've been looking at here.
And now another one on January 13th. This is the winter survival sales. And now they're merchandizing. The sale again ends tomorrow, creating that sense of urgency.
The next one is on January 14th. It's about our survival. So now it does say everything must go.
So it sounds like a clearance sale, right? And 60% off. Everything must go. But none of these products are on armed clearance. They're they're all products that they're still selling today. So it's just once again, adding a little bit of that sense of urgency or letting you feel like you're getting a better deal. You know, there's this exclusivity, there's this limited time, all those kind of things.
So it's January 14th, the next email, January 14th. Still, we're back to I think this is just a product like this is their bearskin hoodie again. Yeah, it's their bearskin hoodie, which they sent an email on yesterday.
next one is January 14th, new Bearskin Vapor shirts. So now it's another product based one of their product ones I like you know they're emails about have, you know, some content about them, their infographics, their images, all that kind of stuff.
So that's all good. There's animations in all of them.
Now here we are on the 14th and the winter survival sale ends today. Everything must go on the copy here. So the winter survival sale is down to the wire and the deals are blazing. Grab your must have bearskin gear at up to 60% off. Plus enjoy the sweet bonus of free delivery on orders over $115.
This is your final shot to conquer the cold and make this season epic with bearskin. Don't let the winter blues dictate the game. Finish strong and stay savage. So they're really, you know, pushing it, really trying to hype you up and make you think that this is something special and unique and you know, your opportunity is about to evaporate.
So that is January 14th. Our next email is January 15th. And guess what happens? The winter survival sale has been extended.
just when you thought our witch survival sale was over, we're back with an extension. The cold isn't ready to leave, and neither are we. Seizes extra time to stock up on bear skins, top notch gear.
Next email, January 15th. And we're talking about their Greenland parka. So another product email Now, like all their ones, they get to say, you know, hey, 50% off on this one because their prices are always 50% off from their artificially inflated list prices that they show on all their product pages.
Next email, January 15th, same day, winter survival still extended, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
next email on the 16th winter survival sale. Last chance. Still talking about the extension of it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
All right, the next email, January 16th. This is about their boxers on some of their product. Most interesting, they don't show the photos until farther down. And it's kind of jarring to me because I'm so used to their big, bold graphics on most of their emails when they don't have it.
I'm like, it's hard for me to understand the context. I actually like the visual at the top to set the context of what it is we're here to talk about. Right? The subject line does say upgrade your underwear, a game with bearskin boxers, but when I went to my Amy, I don't look at that and actually see bearskin boxers in the email copies in the third line so like I got to read and I'm not a fan of reading personally, but I would just have a graphic at the top of this because the graphics are actually so good and compelling.
Now the next email on January 16th, we're still on the same day. Winter survival sale. Last chance for Epic Savings. You know what it says.
All right, now we have moved to January 17th, so it's the next day. And guess what? They have a flash sale on the fur line. Greenlane jacket, only 50% off or it's wonderful. It's 50% off.
Ever, ever. I have to say that. And let me drop some news that'll heat you up faster than a mug of hot cocoa on a snowy day for today. Only far up a flash sale on our crowd favorite, the bearskin fur lined Greenland jacket. Yes, you heard that right. A whopping 50% plus free delivery on orders, over $115.
Why should this jacket be your next best buddy, you ask. Let me break it down. And they talk about their value props for their jacket. Once again, really good graphics.
in our next email is also on the 17th. And it's about the t shirt. So it's a product based email highlighting that.
now on the 18th New Day, and now we have to conquer the cold sale.
Hey there. Frosty feeling like a human popsicle in this snowstorm. So that's interesting. I don't know. Of course, January this year, it's been pretty cold and there's been some pretty severe weather. So it'd be really good on their part if they actually saw that happening and came up with this update to their copy to be very timely and relevant.

you know, you can see how it does become a little bit repetitive, a little bit formulaic, but they do a really good job when you look at any one thing, right?
The biggest fallacy is their pricing, which never, ever changes, right? None of these sales are real. It's complete vaporware, but the execution really well done. Right? So remember they begin the podcast. The question I asked was how aggressive is your marketing? I want you to look at your emails for the past month and ask yourself how many campaign emails did you send out?
You know, you should be sending out way more than you think. You don't have to be deceiving. You don't have to be, you know, lying or exaggerating kind stuff, but constantly putting yourself in front of your clients with a new and unique message is very valuable. Are you can't have the same message now these guys it is the same message you know formulaic wise over and over again.
And I you know, my guess is for them to scale to the next level, they're going to have to figure out how get around that and what the next step of that is going to be. But the fact that they're, you know, aggressive in how many emails they send out in a month and each and every single one of them is unique.
That is something, you know, that I really respect about what they're doing. So, you know, I encourage you take a look at your emails for the past month and say, how many campaign emails did you send out and what could you do differently? You know, what is a what would be your aggressive marketing plan? An email campaigns looking back at the month of February, the month of January, and then think about that and then apply that to the month of February, another slow month, unless you're a Valentines based business, what can you do in February to drive up your sales year over year by being a little bit more aggressive with your email marketing?
So hopefully, you know, that was insightful for you and you can learn from the things that is doing right, which is a lot of those things. You can also learn from the things that they're doing wrong because there's also some of those things.
