Our Approach
What you can expect from our email marketing work
Our email marketing engagements are modular, designed to scale from single campaign sends to full lifecycle email programs. A comprehensive engagement can include:
Foundation & Deliverability
01
Email Deliverability Audit
Before we design or send anything, we audit your technical email infrastructure, reviewing and correcting SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication) records where needed. These three DNS-level configurations are mandatory under modern Google and Yahoo bulk sender guidelines, which enforce a maximum 0.3% spam complaint threshold and require one-click unsubscribe compliance for anyone sending at volume. They separate email that lands in the inbox from email that lands in spam. Most businesses have at least one misconfigured, and we fix them before they silently kill your campaigns. We also audit and implement one-click unsubscribe headers across your campaigns, a requirement for bulk senders under current Google and Yahoo guidelines and a best practice for protecting sender reputation regardless of send volume.
02
Platform Setup & Configuration
Whether you're on Constant Contact, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Klaviyo, or a CRM-native email tool, we set up or audit your sending environment: domain authentication, sending domain configuration, list import, and platform-specific deliverability settings. For clients without an email platform, we recommend and set up the right one for your needs and budget.
03
Analytics Integration & Tracking
Email campaign performance connected to your broader analytics stack: UTM parameters on every link, GA4 integration for tracking email-driven traffic and conversions, and platform-native analytics configured for meaningful reporting. Email performance doesn't live in a silo, so we connect it to the full picture of your digital marketing data.
04
Custom HTML Email Template Development
Every email template we build is coded in HTML table-based architecture, not assembled in a drag-and-drop editor. Table-based HTML is the only reliable way to ensure consistent rendering across legacy Microsoft Outlook versions, Apple Mail, Gmail, and every other email client your subscribers use. Templates are custom-designed to your brand standards and built to be reused across campaign types, so every send looks like it came from the same professional brand.
05
List Segmentation & Hygiene
Subscriber lists segmented by behavior, engagement level, purchase history, and any other data available, so the right message reaches the right person. List hygiene is managed on an ongoing basis where in scope, with bounces removed, unengaged subscribers identified, and unsubscribes processed cleanly to protect sender reputation and deliverability.
Campaigns & Growth
06
Email Campaign Production
One-off campaigns, newsletters, promotional sends, and announcement emails, all written, designed, and deployed on the agreed cadence. Copy is produced by our in-house team or designed around client-provided content depending on scope. Every campaign is tested across email clients before send.
07
Automated Email Sequences
Welcome series, drip campaigns, lead nurturing sequences, post-purchase follow-ups, re-engagement campaigns, and cart abandonment sequences, all built in your email platform and triggered by subscriber behavior. Automation that runs continuously in the background, delivering the right message at the right moment without manual intervention.
08
Cart Abandonment Email Setup
For eCommerce clients without cart abandonment emails in place, we configure and deploy the sequence: connecting your store to your email platform, triggering abandoned cart emails at the right intervals, and writing and designing the email sequence to recover lost revenue. It's one of the highest-ROI automations an eCommerce business can have.
09
List Building & Subscriber Growth
Signup forms, embedded newsletter opt-ins, exit-intent pop-ups, and lead magnet landing pages built to grow your subscriber list with qualified contacts. Opt-in incentives developed where relevant (content offers, discount codes, resource downloads) designed to attract subscribers who actually want to hear from you.
10
Reporting & Recommendations
Monthly email performance reporting across all active campaigns and automations: click-through rates, conversion rates, unsubscribe rates, list growth, and Apple-adjusted open rate trends. Because Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) automatically pre-loads emails in the background (artificially inflating raw open rates for over 50% of email clients globally) we focus on hard engagement metrics and GA4 conversion integration rather than vanity open rate figures to measure the true financial impact of your campaigns. Every report includes strategic recommendations for the next send cycle.
