The bigger email list you have, the better your reach will be

The foundational way to craft a brand marketing strategy has been to create a value proposition for your brand, think who could be possibly interested in it, and then target those people with your marketing communication in media. But without first starting with broad reach, many of your potential consumers are liable to never hear of your brand, message or proposition. A few other reasons to seriously consider building a target email list are:

Email is Personal

Brand humanizing is taking the centre stage in marketing as consumers behavior have evolved to be more intelligent at analysing brands.

Preferred for Business

People use email to talk more about business as compared to social media. Building a quality email marketing list fosters more email communication.

Build Intimate Relationship

The best one to one business communication medium is via email. It provides a private space to have discussions with your customers.

Email is Targeted

List building can be targeted towards a specific audience and segmentation makes it possible to filter down communication to smaller target groups.

What You'll Get

Our custom list building service coupled with strategic email campaign management makes it possible to not only pinpoint your target, but also to communicate directly to carefully chosen target groups. To ensure that your list building campaign is driving meaningful result we keep track of vital metrics and optimize them accordingly, some of which are list growth rate​, growth source, contact quality, click-through rate, open rate, and conversions.

Additionally, we deal with some of the major bottlenecks encountered during email list building and that is “High Churn Rate”. Unsubscribes and bounces are the major contributors to churn rate which can be caused by a flaw in the list building process cycle. So we endeavour to curb the churn rate by following best practices during implementation phase.

Some of the best practices we follow include giving subscribers an option to set preferences during signup, using double opt in to ensure  we get only interested subscribers and personalization of welcome email series.

Email List Building Process

In a bid to ensure that we deliver top quality service to all our clients, we have developed an exhaustive email list building process which we follow for every project and optimize continuously along the way. We start by consulting with your team to discuss your marketing goals, identify and categorize the probable end users of your products and services, create contact personas for B2C lists and contact profiles for B2B lists, find where these contacts live online, how to reach them and identify channels to collect their information.

Next we morph the data we’ve gathered into a strategy to develop your email lists by working with you to create lead magnet that incentivize people to provide their data in exchange for something of value. We then implement the lead magnet on a landing page or your website through intuitive call to actions and lead forms placed in strategic locations.

Next we create a welcome series email automation containing 3 unique email design; a welcome email, lead magnet offer fulfilment email, and a sales pitch email. First email in the sequence is triggered when a subscriber completely opts in to a list. Next we run advertising campaigns to promote the lead magnets using either paid social advertising or search engine marketing.

Lastly we move into list monitoring or maintenance phase where we constantly optimize all the afore-mentioned processes leading to this stage on an ongoing basis, perform quality check on the data by running them through a verification system and finally provide reports that analyse the performance of your list building campaign with focus on metrics such as subscribers, open-rates, click-through rates, and conversions.

Feedbacks From Our Clients

We’ve had the honour of creating beautiful experiences for a number of clients who have now turned family. Our utmost desire is to see our client’s business flourish by leveraging on the digital opportunity to increase revenue.

Frustratingly the Website template we purchased did not work how I wanted. To shorten the launch process we engaged Smartecniqs, who quickly and efficiently developed our business website and worked out the nuances of the template. Now people look at the website and comment on how professional it looks.

They transformed our old and outdated website into a modern and incredibly attractive site. My project meetings with them yielded results in a short time
