Hi {{first_name}},
I noticed {{company_name}} has been building a strong product catalog, and I wanted to share something that might help you scale faster without burning through ad spend.
Most small e-commerce brands we work with are stuck in a cycle of rising customer acquisition costs while margins shrink. We help founders like you reduce CAC by 30-40% by shifting budget toward channels that actually convert.
Would it make sense to compare notes on what's working for similar brands right now? 8-12% reply rate
