Our Email Marketing Services
Email Marketing Strategy & Set up
Don’t let your emails go stale under a pile of spam. We’ll guide you through platform selection, setup, content strategy and segmentation to make every email hit the mark.
Email Design
Up your email game with intentional designs that capture attention and keep readers intrigued. From monthly newsletters to e-blasts, lead nurturing and everything in between, they won’t be able to look away.
Email Marketing Campaign Management
From privacy rights and deliverability to content planning, we tackle the technical stuff so you can focus on your business and manage as needed through live reporting dashboards.
Email List Building & Management
Raising revenue through email marketing relies on the quality of your list. Our management strategies can help you engage current customers, attract new subscribers and build loyalty for both.
Email Program Optimization
Using promotional, seasonal and behavior-based campaigns, we produce emails that are personalized to your consumers’ interests. This helps grow trust, customer value — and your bottom line.
Our Step-By-Step Process
Marketing is nearly impossible when you’re going at it alone. That’s why our workflow prioritizes collaboration between our team and yours. With a dedicated team of experts focused on your brand, marketing in a silo is a thing of the past.
Discovery & Research
Our first step in email development starts with answering several important questions like: What platform(s) are you on? How many times are you getting in front of your audience? Do you have any segmentation set up? What are your marketing goals? What are your competitors doing? With answers to these and others, we can better inform our strategic approach for your email marketing campaign.
Strategy & Concept Development
Armed with insights, we then come up with custom platform recommendations that will align your email communications with identified goals for the year. You’ll walk away from this step with clear objectives, a template mockup, email send types & frequency recommendations, and a list organization and growth strategy.
Planning & Setup
After strategy and design are given the green light, the real fun begins. In this step, our team will implement all approved recommendations and build out your new email marketing system. This includes platform setup (or platform optimization if you already have an email platform account), contact list organization & clean-up, a detailed content calendar and template buildout.
Email Development & List Management
Once your email strategy recommendations are in place and your templates are developed, it’s time for launch. In this phase, we create and send email content and implement tactics to grow and manage your contact lists.
Performance Management
To get the most out of your email marketing campaign, we recommend ongoing performance management services to optimize the lifetime results of your email marketing. In this phase, we analyze results from past email sends to make recommendations for future engagements. These recommendations may impact content, design, scheduling or landing page features in order to improve ROI over time.

FAQs
What email platforms does BBR support?
We can provide support with Hubspot, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and Klaviyo email platforms. If you’re currently using a different email platform, please contact us to discuss it further.
Is email marketing effective?
Yes! Today, email marketing campaigns are still capable of driving significant growth for business when done correctly. In fact, 70% of millennials say that email is their preferred way to receive ads and promotions. Meanwhile, studies show that email produces 174% more total conversions than social media. It’s a direct line of communication to your audience and can be a cost-effective way of amplifying your message with a high ROI (a 42:1 return on average).
What types of email campaigns does BBR do?
Within our email services, we can develop a variety of email types to meet your needs. These emails may include welcome emails, promotional emails, transactional emails, newsletters, educational emails, engagement emails & surveys, drip campaigns and integrated marketing campaign pushes.
What is an email list growth strategy?
Email list growth strategies are plans that help increase your number of email subscribers. A strategy could include any number of tactics or phases that expose your target audiences (and lookalike audiences) to your brand, encouraging them to subscribe for regular communication and offers. Popular tactics that often attract new email subscribers include regular publishing of educational/insightful information, company updates or sale discounts.
Can I just buy a contact list?
Although purchasing an email contact list is “legal,” this usually comes with big risks. The list you buy may not be ethically sourced with qualified subscribers who are interested in your brand and services.
Because of this, your emails may be flagged as spam by recipients who don’t know who you are or why they’re receiving your emails. This can lead to serious email reputation issues or the inability to send future emails from your account.
Why is a send schedule and content calendar important?
By having a consistent email send schedule, your subscribers will know how often to expect communications from you. Meanwhile, your content calendar will ensure that you are sending a variety of content types throughout the month and year, so you can engage the different interests of your total audience.
Without a send schedule or content calendar, it can also be difficult to track performance based on when you sent an email or see what type of content is delivering the best results. By having a documented plan in place, you can manage your email plan effectively and optimize with new data each month.
Do I need to be concerned about CAN-SPAM & GDPR?
Yes, both CAN-SPAM and GDPR could affect your business if your email communications do not follow legally outlined regulations. By understanding these laws and integrating best practices into your email strategy that adhere to them, you can protect your business and build trust with your subscribers and potential subscribers as well.
What are ethical email practices?
Ethical email practices are ones that help you build trust and consistency with your audiences. By nature, these practices also help protect your business from violations with CAN-SPAM and GDPR. Ethical email practices include codes of conduct like obtaining subscribers’ explicit permission before adding them to a list; only sending relevant communications that subscribers opted into; not sharing subscriber data with other parties without permission; identifying yourself clearly in every communication; and enabling subscribers to quickly and easily remove themselves from your list(s).
Featured Case Study
TABASCO® Country Store
Direct-to-Consumer Email Marketing Program
Food & Beverage
In 2014, TABASCO® had a large list of brand loyal customers and over 2500 SKUs of TABASCO® branded products ready to sell through their online store — but no real strategy for reaching customers regularly and enticing them to buy. BBR developed an email marketing strategy and implemented an annual, recurring direct-to-consumer marketing plan to engage and convert customers, increasing online revenue, especially during the Q4 holiday gifting season.
