Email Marketing Agency Hiring Guide

What is an email marketing agency?

An email marketing agency creates tailored email campaigns to engage customers, aiming to foster relationships, improve brand loyalty, and drive conversions. Its expertise lies in understanding customer behavior, preferences, and triggers, which they use to build meaningful connections.

What does an email marketing company do?

An email marketing company uses email as a channel to promote brands, their products, and/or services.  

Their job is to send targeted email messages to prospects and customers to boost sales, attain brand loyalty, and increase returning customers. They can also track user interactions and refine their strategies based on real-time feedback, ensuring that the content they create continuously meets the needs and preferences of their audience. 

Their primary objective is to optimize email communication for maximum impact and return on investment (ROI). To achieve clients’ goals, email marketing companies: 

  • Employ personalized content and timely triggers 
  • Ensure emails are engaging, responsive, and look great on all devices 
  • Stay current on email marketing trends and best practices 

Some types of email content an email marketer can create include: 

  • Welcome email series 
  • Email blasts
  • Newsletters 
  • Seasonal promotions 
  • Post-purchase drips 
  • Connect-via-social campaigns 
  • Abandoned cart emails 
  • Win-back campaigns 
  • And more

What is the main purpose of email marketing?

The primary purpose of email marketing is to establish and maintain meaningful connections with your audience, drive desired actions or conversions, and contribute to your business's overall growth and success. 

Effective email marketing allows companies to deliver personalized, timely, and relevant messages that resonate with subscribers, ultimately leading to increased customer engagement, loyalty, and revenue. As a direct line of communication, email marketing enables businesses to inform their audience about new products, offers, or company updates. 

This case study from SmartSites demonstrates how strategic email marketing can produce results that other digital marketing channels can’t. Virtual real estate brokerage eRealty Advisors wanted to engage more real estate agents to join its membership program.  

SmartSites sent out monthly newsletters and email campaigns via MailChimp and automated email flows for new subscribers and leads. These and other efforts increased the conversion rate by a whopping 480% and leads by 360%.

How do email campaigns work?

Email campaigns work by sending targeted emails to a specific target audience. These emails can promote products or services, share news, or provide information. 

The process goes as follows: 

  1. Marketers collect email addresses, often through website sign-ups or other lead-generation tactics.  
  2. Leads are segmented by engagement, location, or other strategies. 
  3. Email marketing companies then create and send targeted emails for each segment and send them out at strategic times.  
  4. They then measure the success of email marketing campaigns by monitoring open rates, click-throughs, and conversions.

What services does an email marketing company provide?

An email marketing company provides the following main services: 

  • Email audit: The first step before developing a strategy, audits provide agencies with a clear picture of what the client does well, their challenges, and potential opportunities. Understanding past creative directions and distribution strategies is key to planning future improvements.  
  • Email strategy: During the strategic planning, email marketing agencies conduct audience research to pinpoint the most effective messaging, offers, and timing for the target market. This later informs decisions on which automation opportunities, subscriber acquisition methods, and basic best practices (e.g., double opt-in, receipts/invoices, transactional emails) to adopt. 
  • Email template development: These specialized agencies design and develop templates for organizations that don’t have the in-house expertise and resources to do it on their own. These templates can be reused in a variety of scenarios by swapping out text, images, and links.  
  • Custom creatives: If a template doesn't meet your needs, custom creatives might. These may include a combination of content, design, and development.  
  • Email campaign management: This includes full-service campaign execution and management, whether on an ongoing basis or for a one-time campaign.

What’s the difference between email marketing vs. marketing automation?

The main difference between email marketing and email automation is that the former covers a broader range of activities and monitors the direct actions users take on your emails, while the latter automates tedious tasks related to email marketing like collecting essential data from a wide variety of touchpoints. 

Email marketing is a digital marketing channel that focuses on creating email campaigns to help brands connect with their target audiences. This includes: 

  • Analyzing market research 
  • Writing and designing email content 
  • Scheduling and sending emails 

Marketing automation refers to the use of specialized software to streamline repetitive marketing tasks on various channels, including social media, websites, and email marketing. Some of the most commonly automated email tasks include: 

  • Gathering comprehensive data on customer demographics and behavior 
  • Segmenting the market 
  • Customizing content and sending emails based on time or activity-based triggers 
  • Monitoring profit across the email journey

What are the types of email marketing?

There are two primary types of email marketing: inbound email marketing and outbound email marketing. 

1. Inbound email marketing  

Inbound email marketing targets your existing customers throughout their customer journey. Its goal is to improve brand awareness, engagement, and customer loyalty as well as highlight new offerings. 

The inbound email marketing can be further categorized into: 

  • Welcome emails 
  • Transactional emails 
  • Promotional emails 
  • Abandoned cart emails 
  • Re-engagement emails 
  • Survey emails 
  • Recap emails 
  • Product update emails 
  • Email newsletters 

2. Outbound email marketing  

Outbound email marketing targets a broader audience (i.e., people not on your email list). Its main objectives are to boost brand recognition and attract new customers to your brand, products, or services.  

The types of emails under this category are: 

  • Cold emails 
  • Follow-up emails

Why should I hire a trusted email marketing agency?

You should hire a trusted email marketing agency for the following reasons: 

  • High ROI: Email is the most important marketing channel for businesses because of its ROI. For every $1 spent, it generates an average return of $42 – making it even more budget-friendly than social advertising or display advertising. 
  • Overcome common challenges: Email marketing agencies address typical issues such as limited resources (40%), lack of data (30%), strategy (25%), outdated processes (22%), and content creation (20%). 
  • Growing email usage: Email users are projected to reach 4.48 billion by 2024, and agencies can help tap into this expanding audience effectively. 
  • Expertise in engagement: Professional agencies understand how to combat declining open rates, which averaged 22.1% in 2019 – an 8% drop from 2018. 
  • Effective subject lines: Agencies excel in crafting compelling subject lines, which is essential as 64% of recipients base their decision to open an email on the subject line. 
  • Improved metrics: Agencies are skilled in boosting open rates, click-through rates, and overall conversions. Many focus on ways to personalize your emails, which leads to 50% higher open rates.  
  • Adaptation to trends: They stay abreast of evolving email marketing trends and technologies to create more effective email campaigns. 

Here’s a case study that demonstrates how effective an email marketing agency can be. Coldie Holdie struggled with low organic website traffic and ineffective customer retention despite a strong product range and initial success in PPC campaigns. Its marketing efforts were held back by poor SEO, underutilized email marketing, and frequent product suspensions on Google. 

SmartSites implemented a robust SEO and email marketing strategy, focusing on link building, automated email sequences, and a unified omnichannel approach. This strategy led to a remarkable 1,162% increase in email traffic and a 485% boost in email revenue.
