Email marketing
that thinks for you

We watch the calendar, learn your business, and tell you when it's time to reach out to customers. You just approve and send. Like having a marketing partner who actually pays attention.

First campaign free. Pay based on results. No subscription.

You've tried this before

You signed up for an email tool. Stared at the dashboard. Maybe sent one email. Then life happened, and it's been sitting there untouched ever since.

Other platforms

"Figure out what to send, when to send it, write the copy, design the template..."

You said "I need to send an email" 10 times this month. You sent zero.

Cherub Email

"Hey, Small Business Saturday is in 2 weeks. Here's an email we drafted. Want to send it?"

That's it. We think. You approve.

Sound familiar?

"I pay $20/month for a tool I use twice a year"
"I stare at the blank page and have no idea what to write"
"Audience segments, automations, A/B tests... I just want to send a note"
"I got flagged for spam because I didn't send for 6 months"

It's not you. Those platforms are built for marketers with time to spare. You're running a business.

We do the thinking, you do the approving

You See What Worked

See real dollars, not vanity metrics.

Like having a marketing partner on staff

We Watch the Calendar

Small Business Saturday, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day — we track what matters for your industry and nudge you at the right time.

Real Revenue Tracking

Your POS shows us actual dollars from promo redemptions. Real money that hit your register, not vanity metrics. It's how we price.

Email + SMS Together

Reach customers where they are. Send emails, texts, or both. We handle toll-free verification and compliance—you just approve.

Is Cherub right for you?

Cherub is built for you if...

  • You run a brick-and-mortar business
  • You're the owner and the marketer
  • You use Square, Shopify, or Mindbody
  • You'd rather approve than create

It's probably not for you if...

  • You run an online-only e-commerce store
  • You have a marketing team that builds campaigns
  • You need complex automation flows
  • You want full creative control over every detail

We'd rather be honest upfront than have you sign up and realize it's not what you need.

Honest marketing. On purpose.

Most marketing software is built to help you extract more from customers. Ours is built to help you communicate with them.

Things we'll never do

Fake urgency or countdown timers that reset
Manufactured scarcity ("Only 3 left!" when there are 300)
Subject lines designed to exploit anxiety or FOMO
Drip sequences that badger people into buying
Dark patterns or confusing cancellation flows

What we do instead

Write clear, honest copy your customers will actually trust
Only suggest campaigns when there's a genuine reason to reach out
Track real dollars from your register, not vanity metrics
Tie our pricing to your results — we don't get paid if it doesn't work
Make it easy to cancel, pause, or walk away — no tricks

This isn't a positioning strategy. After 25 years in UX — including building enterprise email systems at Microsoft — I've seen how businesses treat manipulation as acceptable. Cherub exists because I think there's a better way. — Bryan

I've been trying to get into email and SMS marketing for years, but it always felt like too much work—too much setup, too much knowledge required. It just never got done. Then my brother introduced me to Cherub Email, and everything changed.

Setting up my account took just a couple of minutes while we were chatting on the phone. I printed the QR code, started getting signups, and sent my first campaign to 23 people. Ten of them redeemed the welcome code, and I netted $150. I couldn't believe how easy it was—and how much the system handled for me.

Recently, Cherub suggested a Valentine's Day campaign. All I had to do was tweak the message and approve it. The system took care of everything else. It's ridiculously easy, and I love seeing real ROI—actual revenue tied directly to the campaigns I send.

Now, I'm excited to try other marketing tactics with Cherub because it's so simple and effective. It's ridiculously cheap for the impact it's had on my coffee shop. I can't recommend it enough.
