Technology: Mailchimp
Service: Email Newsletter Design, Campaign Strategy, Marketing Automation
Smart Meals needed a way to consistently turn their subscriber list into repeat orders without relying solely on paid ads or one-off promotions. With a menu that rotates across meal categories, protein-focused options, and seasonal offerings, the brand needed email campaigns that could highlight the right products to the right segment of their list at the right time, rather than sending the same generic blast to everyone.
At the same time, new subscribers who signed up but never converted to a first purchase represented an untapped opportunity. Without an automated nurture sequence, those contacts sat idle on the list with no structured follow-up based on how they actually engaged with Smart Meals’ emails. The brand needed both stronger campaign-level design and a smarter, engagement-based automation system working in the background.
• Rebuild the website on WordPress with a clear, conversion-focused design
• Set up a CRM to capture and manage all incoming client inquiries automatically
• Implement a group calendar so clients can self-book therapy sessions online
• Launch a monthly email newsletter to re-engage past clients and nurture new leads
• Automate social media publishing for consistent brand visibility
Whippet Creative designs and sends Smart Meals’ newsletter campaigns in Mailchimp, building branded templates that showcase specific meal categories, like the “Protein Lovers” campaign highlighting high-protein menu options, and strategically resending campaigns to engaged non-openers to capture additional revenue from the same send. Alongside campaign work, we built a fully automated welcome workflow that tags new subscribers, sends an initial welcome email, and then branches subscribers down different follow-up paths based on whether they opened and engaged with prior emails, with timed delays between each touchpoint to keep the sequence feeling natural rather than automated.
