MARKETING
Email marketing is a part of digital marketing focused on nurturing and "warming up" leads, building long-term relationships with consumers and partners, and increasing repeat sales.
But today, email alone is not enough. You need to deal with retention in general — connect additional channels (push, SMS, pop-ups on the website and inside the product, messengers and chatbots), to be where it is more convenient for the consumer and get the maximum response.

WHAT HAS CHANGED
IN EMAIL MARKETING?
IN EMAIL MARKETING?
Proper email marketing still brings a significant share of the revenue.
If we are talking about e-commerce, then email marketing can bring from 10% to 30% on thousands of orders. Conversion from email is 2−5 times higher than the average for the website. For an IT product (SaaS, marketplace, etc.), email can change the entire business model and unit economics.

Email shows a drop in responses in the b2c segment — Open Rate and Click Rate. Users stopped writing letters to other people. Now your inbox is filled with work emails and offers from other companies.
We communicate with friends and relatives on social networks and messengers.
So we took our expertise in email marketing (and we've been working with email marketing since 2008) and changed the paradigm.

But…
Email is just the delivery route for retention marketing. Maximizing response
Email is one of the transports and methods for delivering a message to a consumer.
Other transports that we use to collect leads, "warm-up", train, build relationships, and sell are mobile and web push, SMS, social networks and messengers, chatbots (Facebook, Whatsapp, Telegram, Viber etc.), pop-ups on the website and in-app, remarketing in PPC ads.
The consumer receive messages where it is more convenient for them, so we maximize the response.
For each channel, we customize the communication — it would be strange to send a long sheet of text where people are used to emojis and short messages.
The most important thing in this process is to build a retention marketing strategy, define triggers, periods, and frequency, and draw up a content plan.

RETENTION MARKETING STRATEGY
1
Clients base analysis to determine
where to place the "traps" and "tripwires"
where to place the "traps" and "tripwires"
We determine the best places for triggers within the LifeCycle framework by Jim Novo, author of The Drilling Down, a textbook on database marketing, RFM analysis, and working with large databases.
2
Deliverability analysis and monitoring setup
We use a 7-step framework that allows you to get into the inbox and keeps all deliverability indicators in the "green zone." We also validate the existing database.
3
Analysis and setup of lead capture mechanics.
We set up the correct and proactive collection of contacts using active pop-ups and other lead capturing mechanics.
4
Prioritizing the work with orders funnel:
0 → 1 or 1 → 2
0 → 1 or 1 → 2
Usually, there are two main funnels for a business: turn a lead / registration into a customer and turn a customer into a repeat customer. Having worked through these funnels, the business changes its unit economics and business model, increasing LTV from the user. For example, for Sokol.ua, we increased repeat sales by 42%.
5
Determining the four types of communications
- "promo" or bulk messages
- triggered messages
- welcome series or autoresponders
- cold sale
6
Drafting a content plan
using newsbreaks of the project

We mix promo, educational, and engaging messages so that people do not unsubscribe but instead go to the next step in the funnel and buy.
7
Setting up the ready-to-use communications,
writing and repackaging content
writing and repackaging content
We use available business content materials (videos, social media, and blog posts) and create new ones, if necessary. We top it up with personalization.
8
Building time-tested regular mechanics:
collecting feedback, measuring Net Promoter Score

We set up mechanics that have been working for years and solved business problems, such as quality control of service and proactive reputation management.
9
Response, retention, and sales analytics
We analyze feedback on communications, long-term trends in contacts' behavior, and its impact on sales.
