Email marketing automation: what it is, which flows work and how to choose the tools
Email marketing automation sends messages automatically when a contact takes an action: signing up, abandoning a basket, visiting a page. In 2024…

IN SHORT
Automated emails (welcome, abandoned basket, behaviour-triggered messages, re-engagement) are a small share of what gets sent and bring in a huge share of email sales. We design them, write them and connect them to your e-commerce and CRM. Before anything else, though, we get the domain in order, so the emails actually arrive.

Built once, it works every night. The hard part isn’t the tool: it’s deciding what happens to someone who downloads a catalogue at 11 pm on a Tuesday and then goes quiet.
What’s included
01
Welcome, abandoned basket, post-purchase, repeat purchase, re-engagement. Flows that run by themselves all year round.
02
An editorial plan consistent with the automated flows, so the people receiving them hear a single voice.
03
Contacts segmented by behaviour, value, interests and stage of their relationship with you.
04
SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured (the signatures that prove the email really comes from you), clean lists, a well-kept domain reputation. An email that ends up in spam doesn't count.
05
Klaviyo for e-commerce, HubSpot and ActiveCampaign for companies selling to other businesses, Brevo for getting started. All connected to your website, shop and CRM.
Automated emails are a small part of what gets sent and a large part of what gets sold. A well-written welcome, a basket reminder, a tip after the purchase. We design them by following the customer journey and write them in the same voice as the rest of your communication.
When automated flows and newsletters work well together, the results come in steadily. We keep the two together and measure them on the revenue and leads they bring, not just on open rates.
How we work




STEP 01 OF 04
01
Consent, segments, dead addresses. A smaller, clean list brings more results than a big one full of ghosts, and keeps you out of spam.
02
One idea per email, a reason to open it and a reason to reply. Design helps, but the copy does the work.
03
Abandoned basket, catalogue downloaded, quote not signed. Every action triggers the right sequence.
04
Clicks, replies, unsubscribes, sales. Every month we cut what doesn't work and rewrite what only half works.
WHAT WE WORK WITH
We did it for
Better said up front
NO
We don't work on bought lists. Besides the legal risk, you burn the domain and then can't even reach the people who are waiting for your emails.
NO
Without useful content, all that's left is promotions, and promotions get tiring fast. First you find something to say.
NO
It costs little and returns nothing. Better a few well-made emails, when there's a real reason to write them.
The questions we get asked
It's emails that go out by themselves when someone does something: signs up, abandons a basket, downloads a catalogue, hasn't bought anything for six months. You write them once and they work every day, with a message suited to the moment.
It helps choose send times and subject lines and personalise messages. Strategy and brand voice are still work for people. We use it as a tool, and the ones deciding what to say and to whom are us, together with you.
With domain authentication and a clean list. Then the welcome email, which is almost always the one that performs best. From there we add the behaviour-triggered flows.
We’ve written about it

Half an hour on your list, numbers and copy. The tool usually has little to do with it.
