Subject: Looking for a Deck Building Company to Send Phone Calls

Hi there,

Would you be the right person to talk to about referring some customers your way?

I recently built a website for one of my deck building clients but he’s kind of out of town, and it’s generating steady leads for services.

I just don’t wanna lose these leads. I know how valuable they are and I’ve got about 3 right now in and around Milwaukee. I just need to give them off to somebody for a while until I figure out what to do with the site.

So if you’re taking in more work, please let me know and I would be happy to provide you with more information and answer any questions you may have.

Analysis

Open Rate:

Sequence 1 had a slightly higher open rate (48.7%) compared to Sequence 2 (41.62%). This indicates the subject line and sender information were engaging enough for recipients to open the emails.

Click Rate:

Both sequences had a 0% click rate, which is expected since no links were included in the emails. Future campaigns might benefit from including relevant links or CTAs.

Reply Rate:

Sequence 1 had a higher reply rate (9.57%) compared to Sequence 2 (3.47%). This indicates that the email content in Sequence 1 was more engaging or relevant to the recipients.

Appointments Booked:

Sequence 1 resulted in 9 appointments booked, while Sequence 2 led to 11 bookings. This shows that the campaign successfully converted email engagements into tangible business opportunities.

Conclusion

The outreach email campaign showed potential with reasonable open and reply rates and successfully converted engagements into appointments. By refining the email content, enhancing the CTA, and implementing a follow-up strategy, we can expect even better results in future campaigns.

Xquizit Domains needed to get in front of SEOs and digital entrepreneurs who buy aged and premium domains. The goal was simple. Write ad copy that spoke directly to that audience, made the product feel like a no brainer and drove people to sign up for a free trial. All on a shoestring budget.

The Copy Approach

The audience buys domains for SEO advantage. They know what a good domain is worth, and they hate wasting time hunting for one. So the copy leaned straight into that frustration.

No fluff, no vague claims. Just a direct conversation with someone who’s been burned by bad domains and slow bidding processes before. The ad walked through four specific pain points: wasted time searching, buying domains blind, missing out on auctions and losing bidding wars, and positioned Xquizit as the solution to each one.

The CTA pushed a 30 day free trial with a soft deadline to create just enough urgency without feeling forced.

Results

• 3,119 impressions
• 41 unique link clicks
• 1.59% CTR
• $2.21 cost per click
• 4 qualified leads generated
• Total spend: $104

What the numbers say

A 1.59% CTR on a cold audience with no brand recognition is a copy win. The ad was shown to people who had never heard of Xquizit Domains and over 1 in every 100 people who saw it clicked. For context, the average Facebook ad CTR sits around 0.9%. This one ran at nearly double that on a $104 budget.

The copy did its job. It found the right nerve, said the right thing and got people moving.

The client had a natural healing product targeting people tired of chronic pain, expensive medical bills and the side effects that come with mainstream medication. The audience was skeptical by nature.

These are people who have tried things before and been let down. The copy had to earn their trust before asking for anything.

The Copy Approach

This called for long form direct response copy. Not a quick punchy ad. A story.

The copy opened by going straight at the pain.

Chronic conditions, mounting medical bills, the fear of needles, the frustration of treatments that never fix the root cause. It spoke to someone who had watched people they love suffer and felt powerless about it.

From there it introduced the solution as something the audience had probably never considered.

Not another pill. Not another appointment. A simple 3 minute routine built on ancient healing principles with no needles, no side effects and no practitioner needed.

The middle section built credibility through specificity. Over 150 conditions covered. Precise pressure points. The kind of detail that makes a skeptical reader think this person actually knows what they’re talking about.

The close painted the picture of what life looks like on the other side. Waking up without pain. A doctor surprised by your numbers. Your family healthier without spending thousands on treatments.

Then a soft but clear CTA directing people to a private presentation.

Results

• Reach: 21,384 people
• Unique link clicks: 648
• CTR: 2.59%, nearly three times the industry average of 0.9%
• Cost per click: $0.57
• Landing page views: 621
• Checkouts initiated: 44
• Total ad spend: $388.06
• Total sales generated: $50,000 in 4 months
• Return on ad spend: over 128x

What made it work

The copy respected the reader’s intelligence. It didn’t shout benefits at them or make claims that felt too good to be true. It told a story they recognised, walked them through a solution that made sense and let them arrive at the decision themselves.

A 2.59% CTR on a cold audience in a skeptical health niche is not an accident. Neither is $50k from $388 in spend. That’s what happens when the copy is doing its actual job.
