“Very concretely, we doubled our revenue, we doubled the number of clients, we doubled our conversions on everything across the board. Our launches doubled in size from the very first campaign we did together, so it was an incredibly apparent benefit from [digital advertising] and it far exceeded the initial investment.”
April Whitney, founder of Smalletics, a fitness and nutrition community for petite women, joins us on the podcast to talk about her marketing funnel from opt-in to cart-close, and how she encourages her list to get off the fence and take action.

About April Whitney…
April is the founder of Smalletics, a health company she started to support petite women—a majority, yet under-served group within the larger health community. As a 5’1″ petite woman herself, she experienced #shortgirlproblems firsthand throughout her entire life—from being judged and underestimated as an internationally competitive athlete in the sport of fencing, to having to ask my boyfriend for help retrieving that last sock out of the bottom of the dryer.
As both an athlete, certified personal trainer and nutrition coach, she learned that everything is designed for those of average height—including some of today’s most popular fitness and nutrition programs, and even the machines at the gym.
April started Smalletics in order to provide reliable health information tailored for petites, as well as to build a platform for short female empowerment. Today, Smalletics is the collective voice of petite women who seek a healthy lifestyle.
