💼 Meet Melissa Williams of Pea Pod Country
When you’re making and selling candles and wax melts, your time goes into what you do best—pouring, scenting, and creating products your customers love. For Melissa Williams, founder of Pea Pod Country, most of her business hours are spent in production mode, crafting the candles and wax melts that keep her customers coming back.
She knew email marketing would help her business grow. But between production, fulfillment, and running her business alongside full-time commitments, actually setting it up kept getting pushed to tomorrow.
😫 Challenge: Not Enough Time for Email Marketing
For Melissa, the biggest challenge was finding the time to do email marketing.
“As a maker running a side business, I spend most of my business time in production,” Melissa explains.
Setting up her branded emails, building message templates, and creating a landing page? It was always on her to-do list, but she never quite found the time.
Meanwhile, her business needed consistent customer communication to keep growing. But she was too busy making products to set up the system that would help her reach more customers.
✅ Solution: AWeber’s Done-For-You Service
When Melissa discovered AWeber’s Done-For-You (DFY) service, the decision was simple:
- Let email experts set it up the right way instead of learning it herself
- Get up and running quickly without waiting for free time
- Get email templates and pages that match her brand
- Set up a sign up form to collect new leads
- Keep her time where it mattered most—creating products
“When I saw AWeber offered done for you service, it was an easy decision to make the investment. I didn’t have to keep waiting on myself to stop and figure email out.”
How DFY works: She provided her brand colors, logo, and business story—things she already had. AWeber’s team of email experts built her branded landing page, created email templates, and set up her email marketing.
Now, instead of staring at a blank screen each week, Melissa receives AI-drafted emails tailored to her business. She reviews them, provides any feedback, and schedules. Done.
