Meet Maven Lane
Maven Lane is a furniture brand that makes beautiful, timeless design accessible to everyone. They believe in creating quality furniture pieces that transform living spaces and help people express their personal style, without breaking the bank.
When Jacob Connell, Director of Marketing at Maven Lane, first approached Inbox Army, the premium furniture brand was struggling to make email marketing work. With no structured email marketing program and inconsistent campaigns, Maven Lane was missing out on a significant revenue opportunity.
The Typical Email Marketing Challenges
Maven Lane faced many of the challenges that growing e-commerce brands often face:
-
Absence of automated customer journeys to nurture leads and drive sales -
An underwhelming welcome sequence that failed to engage new subscribers -
Lost revenue from abandoned carts, slipping through the cracks -
Email designs that didn’t align with Maven Lane’s premium brand image
Perhaps, what the client told us resonates with the pain many hyper-growth e-commerce brands experience:
We had good products and a great brand, but our email marketing was stuck in the past,” said Connell. “We knew we were missing out on so much potential.
A Strategic Roadmap to $700K+ Revenue
Take a few pages from its proven e-commerce email playbook, Inbox Army proposed a strategic plan focused on three key areas:
1. Automated Customer Journeys
-
Welcome series revamp
Crafted an on-brand sequence showcasing bestsellers and Maven Lane’s core values.
-
Abandoned cart recovery
Designed a fully personalized sequence to recover lost sales.
-
Post-purchase sequence
This often-overlooked revenue generator was fine-tuned using personalization, segmentation, and optimal timing.
2. Strategic Broadcast Campaigns
Inbox Army developed engaging campaigns that consistently drove revenue, including:
-
New product launches featuring Maven Lane’s collections
-
Seasonal promotions
(e.g., Independence Day, Labor Day)
-
Educational content about furniture styling
-
Flash sales and limited-time offers
3. Professional Design & Branding
A modern, on-brand email template was designed to reflect Maven Lane’s premium image. We also prioritized mobile optimization to ensure a seamless experience across all devices.
Inbox Army didn't just do the work - they took the time to fully understand our brand, customers, and goals," said Connell. "The strategic thinking behind their approach was what really made the difference.

I searched through a number of forums and word of mouth on the web, and their name consistently came up. They have been in business longer than any email marketing company that I can remember talking with.
Our company needed to revamp our entire email system for our main brand of bicycles, Sixthreezero. We hired InboxArmy to build out new automated flows, post purchase email flows, marketing campaigns, and anything else we could come up with to stimulate our sales. I worked with the director and his designers to develop the emails that would connect with our target market. InboxArmy managed me, I literally had to keep up with how fast they work.
Immediate increase in revenues, our return customer conversion rate increased by roughly 50%, and our open to click rates all increased. The ROI was about 26 to 1. Zero complaints, our resources were not wasted hiring InboxArmy.
