Email Marketing & Social Media

My favorite eCommerce email marketing and social media scheduling platforms. Plus, tools to help you grow your list and optimize your conversion.

Klaviyo

My go-to email marketing platform for most eCommerce businesses. Great for wide product assortments and advanced features such as dynamic content that shows/hides based on conditions you set.

Omnisend

The closest competitor to Klaviyo in terms of features, with some exclusive functions Klaviyo doesn’t have. Reporting isn’t quite as reliable, but still a great platform.

Drip

By far the most flexible automations including moving people from one flow to another without any workarounds. Not as much flexibility when featuring products in emails, so best for smaller product assortments.

Manychat

Grow your email list from social media. Approved by Instagram, auto-reply to comments, collect emails in the DMs, and export them directly to your email marketing platform.

Revenue Hunt Quiz

Product recommendations quiz platform. Best for wide product assortments. Upvote recommendations by collection and organize results in “slots.” (Ex. 1 Cleanser, 1 Serum)

Prehook quiz

A solid product recommendations quiz platform for Shopify. Best for smaller product assortments and delivering single product recommendations.

Planoly

Social media scheduler for Instagram + Facebook. Curate the perfect grid, auto-post to your business account and save your best hashtags for faster social media management.

Plann

A social media marketing scheduling tool that lets you save draft captions, duplicate posts for multiple platforms and edit the content individually. They even have content prompts prompts built into the platform!

Site Optimization Tools

On-site optimization tools for better conversions, engagement, and revenue.

Shopify

Shopify is my preferred eCommerce platform because it’s simple to use and built to scale. It’s the iPhone of eCommerce… clean, powerful, and first in line for integrations.

Shopify Secrets

A focused course on Shopify’s advanced internal features, designed to help you better organize your store, use the platform more intentionally, and automate repetitive tasks.

Reconvert

A post-purchase cross-sell app that lets you sell more to your customers when they’re most primed to buy. Once someone has committed to spending their money with you, it’s A LOT easier to get them to spend more.

Referral Candy

Judge Me Reviews

Years ago I found this to be slow loading, but since Shopify 2.0, that is no longer the case. With just 1 price tier to get ALL the features and the ability to collect store reviews (vs. just product reviews) this the all around best option.

Stamped Rewards

A product review + now loyalty platform with all the features you need to increase brand loyalty + accelerate brand growth. Integrate with your favorite tools, like Klaviyo too!

Design Tools & Templates

A collection of design tools and templates to help you create clean, on-brand visuals for email, social, and your Shopify site—without overthinking or starting from scratch.

Modern Canva templates for social media and email that save you serious time while keeping your graphics elevated. Designed with marketing strategy in mind… and they’re really freakin’ pretty.
