The numbers

Each day we facilitate

Real results we help our clients achieve, day in, day out.

Campaign types

The emails that do the heavy lifting.

Most of the money email marketing makes comes from a handful of well-timed campaigns rather than a bigger send list. These are the ones we usually build first.

Welcome sequences

The first few emails after someone signs up, while interest is at its highest. A good welcome series introduces you and earns that first sale.

Basket and browse recovery

Automatic reminders for people who looked, added to their basket and left. Quiet, well-timed nudges that recover sales you would otherwise lose.

Win-back and promos

Seasonal offers and gentle prompts for customers who have gone quiet, bringing lapsed buyers back without discounting everything to everyone.

FAQs

Email marketing FAQs

Common questions about frequency, automation, sales impact and whether email fits your business.

Email marketing is sending targeted, permission-based messages to your audience to promote products and services and keep customers engaged.

Frequency depends on your goals and how your audience behaves, but consistent, value-led content matters far more than volume.

Yes. When messages are relevant and well timed, email drives repeat engagement and conversions, and it reliably returns more per pound than most channels.

Yes. Automation lets you send targeted sequences triggered by behaviour and where each subscriber is in their journey, so the right message goes out at the right time.

Almost always. Any business with an audience and a goal for engagement or sales can benefit, and we will tell you honestly if it is not the right fit.
