Why Email Still Drives the Highest ROI in Ecommerce with Jordan Dean Gordon
Inside Marketing with MarketSurge | Featuring Jordan Dean Gordon
Email has been declared “dead” for years — yet it continues to outperform almost every other marketing channel when done right.
In this episode of Inside Marketing with MarketSurge, Reed Hansen sits down with Jordan Dean Gordon, a 25-year veteran of ecommerce, email CRM, and customer retention. Jordan has held leadership roles across startups, successful exits, Amazon, and Realtor.com, and today leads teams at PilotHouse while hosting the World’s Best Email and Retention Podcast.
This conversation dives deep into why email remains one of the most powerful drivers of profitability, how it improves paid advertising ROI, and what most brands get wrong about funnels, metrics, and customer experience.
If you care about retention, scalability, and building an audience you actually own, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why email and SMS are more relevant today than ever before
- How email directly improves paid media ROI and lowers acquisition costs
- Why most brands chase the wrong metrics in email and CRO
- The role of abandonment, lifecycle flows, and long-term follow-up
- The 120-second psychological journey every website visitor goes through
- Which metrics matter at each stage of the funnel and which are overrated
- Why investing in the bottom of the funnel creates compounding growth
Key Takeaways:
- Email touches every stage of the customer lifecycle at a lower cost than ads
- Retention channels unlock revenue without increasing ad spend
- Conversion rate optimization can double revenue without more traffic
- Funnels fail when clarity, speed, and intent are ignored
- Brands that invest in email and CX scale faster and more profitably
