“As a company, you need to get to the future first, ahead of your customers, and be ready to greet them when they arrive.” Mark Benioff, Founder & CEO, Salesforce
Strategy is where the road to a successful email marketing campaign begins and Email-Postman can help you define what you’re trying to achieve.
Setting your goals is where it all starts. Once you know what you’re trying to achieve, you need to understand who your audience so you can start to define your message. Then you need to decide frequency – how often you want to send it.
The campaign should lead your audience on a journey that invites them to find out more about the product or service you’re offering. These days, audiences buy into the journey or the story more than they do the actual item you’re offering. Your campaign should include an aspiration and put the customer right at the centre of the story to keep them engaged with it.
Make sure too, you include a method of acquiring new subscribers such as a Sign Up form on your website – a great way of ensuring the people on your email list actually want to receive emails from you. Having an easy method for them to opt out will keep your list current.
Strategy also involves selecting the right platform. Think about how many contacts you have and the frequency with which you’re planning on sending emails. Without question, every strategy should also involve a method of testing and measuring, seeing what’s working and what isn’t so you can optimise the campaign

Shaun from Email-Postman is a steady force for the marketing team at BBC Maestro and has a real passion for email marketing. Always willing to help us turn around a campaign (sometimes with very short notice), he’s been a real asset to the company. Thanks Shaun!
Shaun at Email-Postman has been a brilliant support for the team in the last 9 months, helping us to create and develop campaigns and automations on Klaviyo. He is incredibly passionate about email marketing and always has such a positive outlook. Any email / CRM team will be lucky to have him!
Swizzels needed a Mailchimp marketing expert, and Shaun at Email-Postman was recommended to me. It’s been very easy to work with him, he spoke without jargon, explained to us clearly what we should do, and once agreed he then went and did it – all in a short time frame and without issue.
Shaun at Email-Postman is one of the best email contractors I’ve worked with in the last 10 years. His willingness, knowledge and expertise has been invaluable during his contract at YuMOVE. And, even though a freelancer, he has fitted in with the team and been a seamless extended arm. You’ll be missed Shaun but wishing you all the best for the future.
Fantastic working with Shaun on our mail chimp set up at Ish Fish ! There really are levels to this and Shaun has shown us he’s at the very highest point. Couldn’t recommend him enough and I’ve already set up meeting for him with more companies in my area
Shaun is simply the king of Mailchimp! I met Shaun when we needed to optimise our automation emails. Beforehand we were told that personalisation of our email content can’t be done and since we offer personalised books for children that was a big issue for us. Well, Shaun sorted it out incl. a quick test in literally 5 minutes! He genuinely loves helping businesses and is someone who you definitely want to have on your team.
I met Shaun after a PSA on LinkedIn asking for Email Marketing experts, I was inundated with specialists but Shaun’s approach really stood out to me. Shaun’s ability to break things down is super impressive, he was able to do this for myself, my team and our clients. Shaun is super quick and extremely knowledgable, only ever a phone call or a screen share away and I’m so glad to have him in my network!
I cannot recommend Shaun highly enough. His expert knowledge and incredible skill set combined with unparalleled customer service and attention is a recipe for success! You won’t regret using Shaun for any of your digital marketing requirements!
Shaun took our project on board and built a complete set of automated flows to ensure we covered all the bases from starting ‘hello’ email to ‘sunset series’ which ensure we are not paying for profiles that never engage with our brand. The whole process was painless. After a chat to understand our needs, we were pretty much hands off until the project was delivered on time an on budget.
Shaun really is an email genius! He has played a vital role in making our email creation process more efficient as well as carrying out integral data segmentation work allowing us to send more targeted and personalised communication to our customers. He has given our team the tools to really make the most of our email marketing and increase our ROI.
