Meet Nexus Nutrition
Nexus Nutrition is a well-known name in the Australian health and wellness scene. Recently, they grabbed attention with a high-profile collaboration with Netflix’s Cobra Kai.
But behind the scenes, they were tackling a significant challenge: growing their email list.
The challenge
Like many ecommerce brands, Nexus Nutrition initially relied on a straightforward approach: a discount popup during Afterpay Day, a major Australian shopping holiday.
The idea was simple: offer a discount in exchange for an email address.
While this method did bring in some new subscribers, it wasn’t enough to meet their growth goals.
The solution
Luckily, this was the point when E2 Agency by Jason K Williamson took control and helped Nexus Nutrition to supercharge their email list-building.
E2 decided to try something new: instead of just offering a straightforward discount, they tapped into the power of curiosity by creating a mystery discount popup.
Customers were asked to enter their email to unlock a mystery discount, which led to higher engagement and more sign-ups.
But E2 Agency didn’t stop there. They took things to the next level with the Trojan Horse method, developed by Jason K Williamson.
This strategy involved a two-step process: first, they asked customers for their email address. Then, once they’d opted in, they invited them to join the SMS club in exchange for exclusive perks like early access to sales and new products.
E2 Agency’s Optimized Welcome Series template delivers impressive results. The first email sees on average a 15%+ click rate.
Here’s the structure:
- Hero section with a “Click to activate” discount code (auto-applied).
- Short copy explaining the offer and urgency (48-hour limit).
- Bestsellers and top collections highlighted with 4-6 product cards.
- 1-3 testimonials.
- Final CTA to “Activate 10% savings” and shop.
The results
After installing a new popup, they saw 686 new sign-ups, generating an extra $21,000 in revenue from June to July. Before this, the previous welcome flow made no revenue for two months.
The Trojan Horse method certainly delivered—Nexus, with the help of E2 Agency, has achieved an 11.78% conversion rate for emails and a 4.28% conversion rate for phone numbers.
This case study is a testament to the power of collaboration. E2 Agency helped Nexus achieve exceptional results by taking the lead and providing guidance.
With over 11 years of experience, working with over 1,000 brands, and generating over $200 million in revenue, E2 Agency is a proven leader in the industry.
As a lead email/SMS mentor at Daily Mentor, they are committed to helping businesses optimize their marketing strategies.
