The client

Harlow Payments delivers accessible, low-cost point-of-sale and payment processing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses across the United States. Their products focus on minimizing transaction fees, integrating cleanly with ecommerce and professional platforms, and providing customer-centric support for merchants in retail, fitness, professional services, and hospitality.

The challenge

Harlow Payments needed an outbound campaign capable of consistently reaching business owners and operations leaders in sectors where efficient, affordable merchant processing can directly improve profitability and operations. Their ideal prospects were local law firms, fitness centers, retail establishments, and accounting service providers looking for flexible, low-fee payment options.

Our solution

A three-month cold email campaign targeted ICP-fit SMBs in legal, financial, fitness, and retail verticals, with dynamic list segmentation, feature-led messaging, and rigorous reply review. All positive responses were manually screened for industry and role to keep pipeline quality and vertical alignment tight.

The results

  • 106,062 emails sent
  • 20,308 unique leads contacted
  • 1,047 replies
  • 49 qualified leads

An "interested prospect" is defined as a business owner or service firm manager who replied positively and requested a review, demo, or quote for Harlow's POS and payment processing solutions.

Notable companies generated
