How ehouse Pioneered AI-Enhanced Email Marketing to Scale Premium Services Without Sacrificing Quality

When a celebrity skincare brand demanded 25+ high-touch email campaigns monthly, most agencies would either hire more staff or compromise on quality. ehouse saw a different opportunity: pioneer a new service model that could deliver premium results at scale.

The Challenge: Premium Brands Need Premium Volume

ehouse built its reputation delivering unified commerce solutions for Shopify brands. Their sophisticated lifecycle marketing strategies are known to deliver meticulously crafted retention campaigns.

But when one celebrity skincare client's explosive growth required 25+ campaigns monthly, ehouse faced a strategic decision. The traditional agency playbook would mean either:

• Hiring additional copywriters (increasing overhead and complexity)

• Reducing campaign sophistication (compromising their premium positioning)

• Turning away high-value clients (limiting growth)

None of these options aligned with ehouse's vision to help top Shopify brands unlock their full commerce potential. 

The Innovation: Reimagining the Service Model

Instead of scaling headcount, ehouse's leadership team identified an opportunity to reimagine how premium email marketing services could be delivered. They envisioned a hybrid model where AI could handle the foundational work while their talented team focused on strategy, creativity, and client relationships.

After evaluating several AI tools, eHouse selected Raleon's AI Strategist to power campaign planning and copywriting for this high-growth skincare brand.

Strategic Planning Revolution

Annie Tompkins, ehouse’s lead strategist on the account, transformed monthly planning from a multi-day process into a strategic powerhouse session. By inputting high-level campaign concepts into Raleon, she could instantly generate comprehensive monthly calendars complete with send dates, audience segments, and campaign concepts. This freed her to spend time on what truly mattered: diving deep with the client to identify new opportunities and develop sophisticated retention strategies.

Design-Led Execution

Andrea Nichola, their designer, became the creative director of each campaign. Instead of waiting for copy or recycling old content, she could access multiple on-brand copy options instantly from Raleon, select the best approach, and move directly into creative execution in Figma. Andrea has worked with this particular brand for some time, and this new capability gave her experience new leverage to execute the brand’s vision quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

Performance Excellence

Raleon’s AI-powered segmentation didn't just save time, it dramatically improved campaign performance. Raleon's behavioral segments consistently outperformed the traditional 180-day engaged list, with their "On-Site Engagement" segment achieving 94% higher click rates and "Loyal Customers" delivering 83% higher engagement.

This precision targeting meant every campaign reached the right audience with the right message at the right time - boosting sales and deliverability.
