Story-driven copywriting & email marketing for early childhood brands

Turn your emails into a can't-put-down series that resonates — creating more engagement, sales, and happy children learning through play.

trusted by:

because stories are the best teachers.

They bring understanding to complex ideas, spark imaginations, and evoke emotions. This is powerful, so I approach all my email marketing projects as a story unfolding. 

Why Storytelling?

Your ideal customers read the introduction, feel the call to action, and then are invited to team up with you to wrap it all up. It’s your brand's story, crafted into a captivating narrative your reader will love to follow. 

If you’ve tried creating your own emails, but time is short and the right words are elusive, I can help. Sometimes the right words just don’t come naturally. You know, those compelling words that make your readers click ‘add to cart’. Or the relatable ones that have them chuckling quietly to themselves while in line at the grocery store. 

Parents everywhere are looking to connect with others in the same stage of life.

Using my connection-focused approach, I'll craft your emails into an unforgettable narrative that resonates deeply with parents. And even better — helps them foster a lifelong love of learning for their children.

They want to give their kids the magical moments that make childhood special. And you’ve got their solution. But it’s hard to cut through all the noise and chaos of parenting to reach them. 

"Holy moly, holy moly, holy moly! Ashley. Is. Incredible. I’m so grateful for her hard work on our email marketing campaigns. Simply wow. They are too perfect."

it takes time to trust even the main character.

Readers need to experience a story unfolding to really learn about the characters. What’s under the surface? What lights them up and what makes them tick? What do they care about?

Your potential customers want to know these same details about you and your brand. Especially parents trying to decide which products and services to trust with their family. 

Your website is your book’s cover. But in their inbox is where the real story can take place. These communications build the trust and connection your potential buyers need to drive that first purchase. And once they’re in and a part of your story, email can keep the conversation going.

Okay, But Why Email?

Early childhood email marketer

As a parent, I've seen my kids thrive as I’ve learned to let go. When they’re directing their own learning through play and exploration, they light up. And the learning happens naturally. 

One of my greatest joys is watching the wonder of childhood unfold right in front of me. It drives my work and my life. And that’s why I work in early childhood and parenting. I hope to help more parents find the confidence to trust their children and the learning process. 

Through data-driven marketing that's rooted in story, I help early childhood companies create meaningful and magical brand experiences, leading to increased customer loyalty and revenue. 

Hi, I’m Ashley Crowe — Parenting and Early Childhood Email Marketer, Numbers Geek, and Unschooling Mom of 3

Growing your business means more children learning through play — and that’s my ultimate “why”.

Your products lay the foundation for play-based learning (and wild imaginations).

They deserve a thoughtful strategy sprinkled with just the right amount of childhood magic and fun. This kind of intentional and responsible marketing can help you find your unique voice, grow your revenue, and set a new tone for an industry filled with screens and plastic.

Need some numbers?
  • Email marketing revenue is estimated to reach almost $11 billion by the end of 2023. (Statista)
  • 50% of people buy from marketing emails at least once per month. (SaleCycle)
  • For every $1 you spend on email marketing, you can expect an average return of $42. (DMA)

To flip to the ending — parents are looking for YOU.

Are your email marketing stats reflective of the numbers above? If not, it's time to partner up and create some magic.

And the right strategy can help them fall in love with your mission to build a more sustainable and inspired world for children everywhere.
