ADVANCE YOUR EMAIL MARKETING
data-fuelled ∙ customer-centred ∙ story-drivenAnyone can come along and tell you what you should be doing with email marketing. That's not my job.
My job is to deliver you an email marketing strategy that gives you maximum reward (revenue and customer experience) being mindful of your time (the biggest problem we face as email marketers. A lack of time.) We work together. We learn together.
To work seamlessly with your team. To build, manage and optimise the advanced email marketing strategies that drive real growth.
So let's get started.
- Gathering relevant actionable customer insight from the outset
- Creating product/category based welcome series that are tailored to behaviour not hunches.
- Building value-creation flows that inspire people to buy into your brand (rather than just buy from your brand)
- Optimise cart abandonment campaigns based on cart value, products and location
- Make greater use of order confirmation and delivery update emails...
and this is before we even consider newsletters, winbacks, review requests, post-purchase flows, loyalty rewards, VIPs, non-purchasers and more...
...and then there's the copy, the imagery and the connection you make with your subscriber through the email you dispatch to their inbox. How you make your email matter.
You know what? The vast majority of online retailers still overlook the magnificent revenue opportunity email marketing can provide. And it's tremendously profitable when done right.
Why? Email marketing is still a labour-intensive task for many. Something we'd all love to be doing 'right', but dedicating the time is impossible. So the 'templated' approach is followed. You're not a template brand are you?
It's my job to introduce an email marketing process to your ecommerce business. One that's profitable. One that's sustainable. One that's workable.
