Every marketing team wants higher open rates, but the metrics that actually matter — list churn, segment responsiveness, and deliverability decay — rarely make it into the headlines. In each episode, Lucas and Luna cut through the email-marketing noise, dissecting real newsletter strategies from brands like Morning Brew, The Hustle, and Substack’s top earners. They walk through specific A/B test results (subject-line length, send-time windows, preview-text impact), debate the trade-offs between daily and weekly cadences, and map out how subscriber-growth tactics shift when a list grows from 1,000 to 100,000. Luna challenges Lucas to defend his skepticism of open-rate benchmarks, while Lucas pushes Luna to prove that sequencing and automation deliver more than one-off blasts. They name the tools they trust (and the ones they don't), cite actual case studies from B2C and B2B campaigns, and never resort to vague 'best practices.' Together, they figure out what separates a newsletter peopl

How Email Content Formats Drive Revenue
Oct 3, 202611 minS5
We break down the revenue impact of pure text emails versus HTML-rich newsletters using data from a major SaaS company’s A-B tests. Lucas and Luna discuss why plain text often outperforms complex designs, how to measure engagement beyond clicks, and practical steps for marketers to optimize their content strategy for higher conversion rates in Q4. #EmailMarketing #ContentStrategy #PlainVsHtml #ConversionRate #SaaSMarketing #A/BTesting #EmailDesign #ReaderEngagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTips #RevenueGrowth #DigitalPublishing #CustomerRetention #EmailAnalytics #TextBasedEmails #HTMLTemplates #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The Email Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna dismantle the myth that broad segments are enough for modern growth. They examine a specific case where a mid-sized SaaS company stopped segmenting by job title and started segmenting by behavioral intensity—specifically tracking how many times a user engaged with onboarding tutorials before triggering a high-value upsell email. The result was a twenty-two percent lift in conversion rates without increasing send volume. Lucas breaks down the mechanics of intent scoring, while Luna challenges whether this level of granularity is scalable for smaller teams. By October two thousand twenty-six, the market has moved past basic demographic splits into real-time action-based triggers, and this episode shows you exactly how to build that architecture without needing an enterprise data warehouse. #EmailMarketing #BehavioralSegmentation #SaaSGrowth #CustomerRetention #DigitalStrategy #ConversionOptimization #DataDrivenMarketing #OnboardingFunnel #IntentScoring #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingTech #UserEngagement #RevenueGrowth #EmailAutomation #ListManagement #B2BMarketing #CustomerExperience Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We explore why email open rates have collapsed to single digits and what that means for customer retention. Using data from October 2026, we examine how zero-click inboxes and AI summaries are stripping away the visual cues marketers relied on for decades. The focus is not on getting clicks, but on building trust through utility and brevity. We look at specific shifts in consumer behavior and the strategic pivot required for brands that can no longer rely on the subject line hook. #EmailMarketing #InboxStrategy #OpenRateDecline #ZeroClickInboxes #CustomerRetention #AIInSummaries #DigitalTrust #ContentUtility #BrandLoyalty #EmailAnalytics #MarketingTrends2026 #ConsumerBehavior #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingInsights #EmailDesign #SubscriberGrowth #DirectResponse Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Email Revenue Stagnates Despite High Open Rates
Sep 30, 20269 minS5
Open rates are lying to you. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dissect why high engagement metrics mask a deeper problem: the shift from inbox-centric reading to zero-click ecosystems. We examine how Apple’s iOS updates and Google’s new UI have decoupled opens from actual consumption, forcing marketers to rethink attribution. Using data from major retail campaigns in September 2026, we show how 'zero-click' opens are inflating vanity metrics while conversion rates flatline. The solution isn't better subject lines—it's designing for the glance, not the click. Learn how to measure true engagement when your primary channel is no longer visible. #EmailMarketing #ZeroClickInbox #AppleiOSUpdates #GoogleGmailUI #MarketingAttribution #OpenRateMetrics #SubscriberEngagement #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DigitalStrategy #PrivacyFirstMarketing #ConversionOptimization #MobileFirstDesign #RetailAnalytics #DataDrivenDecisions #UXDesign #ConsumerBehavior #EmailDeliverability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Most marketers obsess over subject lines and send times, but in September 2026, the real bottleneck is often your own internal tracking. We break down how third-party pixel tracking is silently inflating open rates while poisoning sender reputation with major ISPs. Lucas and Luna examine the shift toward privacy-centric inbox experiences, specifically looking at Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection and Google’s Zero-Click environment. You will learn why your open rate is now a vanity metric that misleads budget decisions, and discover the specific alternative KPIs—like click-through rate and conversion volume—that actually predict revenue growth. This episode offers a concrete framework for auditing your current email stack to remove tracking pixels without sacrificing performance insights. #EmailMarketing #Deliverability #MailPrivacyProtection #OpenRateMyth #PixelTracking #ApplePrivacy #GoogleZeroClick #ISPReputation #SenderScore #EmailAnalytics #CTR #ConversionMetrics #ListHygiene #EmailTechStack #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingStrategy #DataPrivacy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
