Writing Emails that Make People Want to Buy | Privy

Written by Lauren Hall

Over the years, Ryan Lee has created a handful of ecommerce businesses that have generated seven figures a month in revenue.

In that time, he has absolutely mastered email.

While most brands focus entirely on the product, Ryan’s main goal is to make business more personal by building a connection that goes way beyond just the product.
I mean, just look at his latest email…

Not your average email from a brand, right?
