Email Marketing Fundamentals

• Email marketing is a core business tool and should be a priority
• Use a simple, cost-effective platform (e.g., MailerLite over more complex tools)
• Connect your email system with your website/products if possible (automation)

Two Types of Emails

• Newsletter (value-based)
  • Informational, conversational content
  • Includes tips, updates, or insights
  • Ends with a soft call-to-action
• Sales Email (digital flyer)
  • Focused purely on one offer
  • Minimal text, clear and direct
  • Designed to drive immediate conversions

One Clear Offer Strategy

• Focus on a single, simple offer (e.g., 4 weeks for £20)
• Avoid multiple promotions at once
• Keep messaging consistent across all platforms

Digital Assets Approach

  • Emails
  • Social media posts/reels
  • Graphics (e.g., Canva)
