Why email still matters

Especially in a small market like Bemidji.

Email can be useful when customers have agreed to receive it and the business has something relevant to send. The right choice depends on the audience, the purpose of the messages and how results can be checked.

The work includes choosing useful content, writing in the business’s voice and setting up a schedule the team can maintain.

What I build

  • Welcome sequences, useful messages that explain what new subscribers can expect and deliver any offer they signed up for
  • Broadcast campaigns, the weekly or monthly newsletter, promotional sends, seasonal nudges, and time-sensitive offers
  • Messages tied to customer events, birthday flows, post-purchase, anniversary, milestone, win-back, anything triggered by a customer event
  • Messages for past customers, relevant updates for people whose permissions and preferences allow contact
  • Checkout and product reminders, where the store setup and customer permissions support them
  • List growth, opt-in placement, lead magnets, popup strategy, integration with the rest of the marketing stack
Tools I work in

Platform-agnostic, with strong opinions.

I build email systems in whatever tool fits the business: Klaviyo for serious eCommerce, Mailchimp for simple newsletter use cases, HighLevel for clients running a full CRM stack, Mailerlite or Beehiiv for content-led businesses. The platform matters less than the system. I'll tell you straight which one fits and why.

How scope works

Build the smallest email system that can do the job.

Start with the Talk with Chris. We review the list, tools, current automations, sending rhythm, and the revenue moments email should support. Then I recommend either a focused foundation build or an ongoing partnership. The deliverables, timeline, and complete investment are written down before you decide.

Common questions

Before you reach out.

There is no universal list-size threshold. We look at permissions, how active the list is, what customers would find useful and the cost of maintaining the work.
Not if the foundation is right. Most deliverability issues come from authentication gaps (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), sending to stale lists, or templates that look like phishing. I check all three on every build.
An older list needs a review before sending. We check how it was collected, permissions, past sending and available delivery records before deciding which contacts can be used and what to send.
I write them. You review and adjust the voice until they sound like you. After the first month or two of calibration, most clients approve drafts in under five minutes.
Yes, different shape than eCommerce, but the math still works. Service businesses use email for booking nudges, seasonal reminders, referral asks, win-back flows for past customers, and quiet relationship-building between jobs. Often the highest-ROI channel a local service business has.
