Mike Beaulieu shares his journey from starting a painting business during the 2008 recession to selling his $2 million company, crediting his success to email marketing strategies that maintained 40-50% open rates and consistently reactivated past customers.

• Started painting business in 2008 during recession, sold it after growing to over $2 million in annual revenue
• Realized clients forget painting contractors among numerous service providers they hire
• Shifted from discount-oriented emails to valuable content about design trends and color forecasts
• Achieved consistent 40-50% email open rates with click rates between 1-5%
• Spent only 1-1.5% of revenue on marketing through effective customer reactivation
• Clean email lists and compelling subject lines essential for ensuring deliverability
• Business sold successfully because of solid systems and recurring revenue from past clients
• Comprehensive customer experience important from first contact through post-project engagement
• Used combination of employees and subcontractors with clear roles and management structure
