Email · a list that travels
An inbox program built for customers who move around.
Davin & Adley sells pumping and nursing bras to moms — people at a busy, moving moment of life. Across Hampton Roads, where a lot of the list relocates every few years, the inbox is the one address that moves with them.
We built the launch sends, the restock calendar and the care-guide education that kept the relationship going between purchases, all written and designed in the brand's own voice.

Get the store built — or get the one you have selling better.
A build is one project: the design and theme, your catalog, the move off whatever you’re on now, and a launch somebody watches. From $10,000 one-time, and you own every bit of it.
Already on Shopify? Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, from $2,250/mo. Ads, email, search and testing go on top when they’ll pay for themselves.
Questions, Virginia Beach edition.
Are you actually in Virginia Beach?
We're a remote agency, so there's no office to visit anywhere — ours or anyone else's. Our people are spread across the US and we run on video calls, which is how we'd work with you either way. Our home base is outside Philadelphia, and Hampton Roads is a day's drive down the coast if a kickoff in person matters to you.
Our customers move away every couple of years. Is that a problem?
It changes what loyalty looks like. Around Hampton Roads a brand can lose a good customer to a transfer rather than to a competitor, which means email is worth more than a local loyalty card — the address changes, the inbox doesn't.
We're seasonal because of the beach. How do we use the winter?
To build the list you sell to next summer. A Virginia Beach brand with a summer-weighted year should be spending the quiet months on content and email rather than dark, because the cheapest customer in June is the one who subscribed in February.
A lot of our customers are Navy families. What does the store need?
A checkout that works at an APO or FPO address, first of all, with shipping rates that actually return a price for one — test it before you promise it. Then say so on the product page. With the world's largest naval base down the road, some of your best customers are going to be ordering from a ship or an overseas posting.
Visitors love us. How do we keep selling to them after they go home?
Get the email before they leave. Virginia Beach saw 14.3 million visitors in 2024, and every one of them goes home — so the counter, the receipt and the packaging should all point to a sign-up with a reason to give it, and the store should ship home to wherever they came from.
Where we work
Virginia Beach, Norfolk and the rest of Hampton Roads.
Hampton Roads is seven cities that behave like one market split by water, and a lot of the brands here sell to a military community that moves every few years — which makes the customer list unusually mobile.
We’re a remote agency with a home base in Norristown, Pennsylvania — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
