Email marketing setup ยท South Africa
Turn first-time visitors into repeat customers
Never sent a marketing email before? We handle the technical setup, deliverability, design, and your first automated sequence, so first-time visitors don't just disappear after one visit.
Sound familiar?
Most first-time visitors never come back
First-time visitors leave and never come back
Someone lands on your site, doesn't buy or enquire immediately, and disappears forever. Without email, you have no way to bring them back.
Emails land in spam or never send at all
Without proper domain authentication, even genuine emails to real customers can bounce or land in spam, quietly killing a campaign before it starts.
No idea where to even start
Choosing a platform, setting up authentication, writing copy that doesn't sound like spam, this is a lot to figure out alone if you've never done it before.
One-off emails with no strategy
Sending the occasional promotion with no welcome sequence, no automation, and no data on what's actually working leaves real revenue on the table.
What's included
Everything needed to send your first campaign
Technical setup & deliverability
We configure domain authentication, DMARC, DKIM, and SPF, so your emails reliably bypass spam folders and actually reach the inbox.
Platform integration & migration
We connect Brevo to your website, migrate any existing contacts, and make sure signups from your site flow straight into your list.
Automated welcome sequence
A new subscriber shouldn't hear from you once and never again. We build an automated flow that nurtures them from day one.
Copywriting & template design
High-converting subject lines and email copy, paired with a clean, on-brand template that works on every device.
A/B testing & weekly analytics
We test subject lines and content, then report weekly on opens, clicks, and what's actually driving results.
Month-end strategy review
After the first month we sit down and decide together whether an ongoing retainer for monthly campaigns makes sense for your business.
Why it matters
Most visitors need more than one visit before they buy
A visitor who lands on your site, doesn't convert immediately, and leaves is not a lost cause, they're a missed follow-up. Email is the cheapest, most direct way to stay in front of someone after that first visit, without paying for another click. Read more on our blog: Email marketing for new customers.

Frequently asked
I've never done email marketing before, is that a problem?
Not at all, this service exists specifically for businesses starting from zero. We handle every technical and creative step so you don't need any prior experience.
Why does domain authentication matter so much?
Without proper DMARC, DKIM, and SPF records, email providers like Gmail and Outlook are far more likely to send your emails straight to spam, or block them entirely. Getting this right from day one protects your domain's sending reputation long term.
Why Brevo specifically?
Brevo offers a strong free and low-cost tier for businesses just starting out, solid automation tools, and straightforward integration with most website platforms, making it a practical starting point for a first email marketing setup.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to your domain's DNS settings (or someone who can make the changes), your logo and brand colours, and a rough idea of what you'd like your welcome sequence to say. We handle the rest.
What happens after the first month?
We review what's working, what isn't, and whether an ongoing monthly retainer to write and send regular campaigns makes sense for your business. There's no obligation to continue.
Do I need a website already?
Yes, since we connect your signup forms directly to your site. If you don't have a website yet, our Website Launch package is the right starting point first.
