Email Marketing
Emails people actually open.
Your inbox is the one marketing channel you own. No algorithms, no gatekeepers. Just a direct line to the people who want to hear from you.
The Problem
Social media reach keeps shrinking.
You spend hours crafting the perfect social media post and 3% of your followers see it. Meanwhile, email open rates sit at 30-50%. The maths is simple.
Email is the one channel where you control the relationship. Your list can't be taken away by an algorithm change. Your reach doesn't depend on paying to boost. When someone gives you their email, they're saying "yes, I want to hear from you." That's worth more than a thousand followers.
What You Get
Email that works for you.
Email strategy
We plan what to send, when to send it, and who to send it to. Not random blasts to your whole list - targeted campaigns that match where people are in their journey.
Newsletter design and writing
Professional newsletters that people actually want to read. Clean design, good writing, clear calls to action. We can handle everything from strategy to hitting send.
Automated sequences
Welcome series, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase follow-ups, re-engagement campaigns. Set them up once and they work forever.
List management
Segmentation, tagging, and cleanup so you're sending the right message to the right people. A small, engaged list beats a big, dead one every time.
Template design
Custom email templates that match your brand. Mobile-responsive, fast-loading, and designed to drive action. You can reuse them yourself or we send for you.
Reporting and optimisation
Open rates, click rates, unsubscribes, revenue attribution. We track what matters and use it to make every campaign better than the last.
Pricing
Transparent pricing.
Simple monthly plans or one-off project quotes.

Common questions.
How much does email marketing cost?
Ongoing email marketing management starts at $500/month, which covers strategy, content creation, design, and sending. One-off projects like setting up automated sequences or designing templates are quoted individually.
What platform do you use?
We work with whatever platform suits your business - HubSpot, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, or others. If you're already using something, we'll work with it. If you're starting fresh, we'll recommend the best fit.
How often should we send emails?
It depends on your audience and what you have to say. For most businesses, once a week or fortnightly is the sweet spot. Consistency matters more than frequency - it's better to send one great email a month than four mediocre ones.
Will people unsubscribe?
Some will, and that's fine. People who don't want to hear from you aren't going to buy from you. A smaller, engaged list is more valuable than a big list of people who never open your emails.
Can you write the emails for us?
Yes. We handle strategy, writing, design, and sending. You review and approve before anything goes out. Most clients prefer this because it actually gets done instead of sitting on a to-do list.
Is email marketing still worth it?
Email consistently delivers the highest ROI of any marketing channel. Unlike social media, you own your list. The algorithm can't hide your content. And people check their email every day. It's not glamorous, but it works.
