@wellcopymax Such a sick offer! @aftersellbyrokt ‼️‼️ 👋 Yo! I’m Max. 5 years ago I got into e-commerce through running my own online store. What I loved most was the marketing, direct response, and seeing numbers go up on a screen... That obsession led me to email, and I’ve been living and breathing it for the past 5 years. I went in-house first. Lead email marketer for multiple 8-figure brands at the same time until I built my agency, Well Copy. We’ve now worked with 300+ ecommerce brands and currently manage email, sms, and subscription programs for 100+ actively... We help brands scale from 7 to 9 figures, and have generated $250M+ from email in the process. I’m 23 and built this all while in college and graduating in May 2025. This is all I do. All I think about. And I’m just getting started. I post about email, SMS, and subscription brand growth... the strategies the fastest-growing brands are actually using TODAY. If that’s what you’re here for, follow along 🤝 Direct message me “EMAILZ” to get free resources or explore working together (you can also hit the link in my bio). Follow @wellcopymax for more.

Transcript

One of the smartest upsells that I've ever seen, and the numbers behind it are crazy. This upsells people who place a onetime order to get them to subscribe immediately. The upsell is absolutely brilliant. You say tier refunded $16 instantly. That's the subscription discount, but it's framed as a refund. The person placed the full $65, but they can refund right here on the immediate post purchase page. Then boom, right here upsold. It's the same offer on the website. It's $16 cheaper to buy on subscription. No they just have people place a onetime order and then be like, hey. If you wanna get refunded, you just get changed to the subscription, then you have this. It's brilliant. Try it out. And the tech behind this is on better sale.
