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 Mailchimp. Stared at the dashboard. Maybe sent one email. Then life happened, and now you feel guilty every time you think about it.

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"
"The drag-and-drop builder takes 2 hours to make one email"
"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"
"They keep asking me to upgrade but I barely use the free tier"
"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

Real revenue from your POS. 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 Square or Clover shows us actual dollars from promo redemptions. Real money that hit your register, not vanity metrics. It's how we price—and why it's required.

Honest Copy, Always

Straightforward emails that respect your customers. No fake urgency, no manipulation tactics, no ALL CAPS nonsense.

Email + SMS Together

Reach customers where they are. Send emails, texts, or both. We handle carrier registration and compliance—you just approve.

QR Code Sign-Up

Print a QR code for your counter. Customers scan, send a quick email, and they're on your list. No apps, no typing.

Things we refuse to do

Most email tools push you toward manipulation tactics. We built Cherub to be the opposite.

Fake urgency

"ONLY 2 HOURS LEFT!" when there's no actual deadline. We don't fabricate pressure.

Fake scarcity

"Only 3 left!" when you have plenty. We won't manufacture FOMO.

ALL CAPS YELLING

It's rude. Your customers deserve to be spoken to, not shouted at.

Guilt trips

"We miss you!" or "You haven't opened our emails." Your inbox isn't a relationship to guilt-trip.

Dark patterns

Tiny unsubscribe links, confusing opt-outs. We make leaving as easy as joining.

Misleading subject lines

"RE: Your order" when there's no order. Clickbait erodes trust.

A quality product should stand on its own. If you need tricks to sell it, maybe the problem isn't your marketing.

"

I've spent 19 years in enterprise email—from Microsoft Exchange to sending 20M emails a month. My brother runs a coffee shop—he shouldn't need to become a marketing expert just to send the same level of marketing emails. That's backwards.

Everyone builds for big marketing teams with budgets and staff. Small business owners get the same complicated software and are told to figure it out.

And most email tools push you toward manipulative tactics—fake urgency, ALL CAPS, psychological tricks. We don't believe in that.

A quality product should stand on its own.

Not for you if...

  • You don't use Square or Clover
  • You have a marketing team or agency
  • You need complex automations & A/B testing
  • You run an e-commerce store (try Klaviyo)

Perfect for you if...

  • You use Square or Clover at your register
  • You're the owner AND the marketer
  • You know email matters but don't have time
  • You want someone else to think about it

We're careful with your information

Your lists stay yours

We never sell, share, or use your subscriber data for anything except sending your emails.

We don't touch your business data

We read your products and track promo redemptions. The only thing we create are campaign discount codes—we never touch your inventory, customers, or transactions.

Export anytime

Download your full subscriber list whenever you want. No lock-in, no export fees, no waiting period.

No third-party tracking

We track opens and clicks to measure campaign performance, but we don't share that data with advertisers or anyone else.
