Email That Drives Growth
Most businesses think of email as a quick way to send updates or promote offers.
At Your Marketing Department, we see it as one of the most powerful ways to build lasting relationships, nurture leads and stay connected to the customers who already trust you.
​
Used well, it becomes the bridge between interest and action.
It keeps your brand front of mind and helps your audience move naturally through their journey, from first contact to repeat purchase and advocacy.
​
Whether you want to stay connected with your customers, convert new leads or bring structure to your communications, we create email marketing strategies that work as part of the bigger picture.

Why Email Marketing Matters
Email marketing plays a vital role in any strategic marketing plan.
It gives you a direct, personal and measurable way to reach the people who matter most, while building the trust and consistency that drive long-term loyalty.
​
That’s why we never look at email in isolation. Every campaign we design supports your wider marketing strategy and fits seamlessly with your brand voice and customer journey.
​
Email marketing at YMD is always clarity-first.
We make sure every message has purpose, whether that’s to build trust, generate leads or guide your customers towards a next step.
​
From onboarding and nurture sequences to newsletters, internal updates and supplier communications, we build systems that make every email count.
​
It’s also why we link this service closely with Retention Marketing. Together, they help you stay connected with your audience, strengthen relationships and drive consistent growth over time.

How We Work
Every business is different, so we start with your strategy. We look at your audience, customer journey and existing data to build an approach that feels natural to your business and the way your customers buy.
​
We help you make sense of your CRM, clean up your data and define the right segments to target. We then plan and implement tailored email flows that meet your objectives, whether that’s new business, retention or brand awareness.
​
Our work covers all areas of email communication:
-
Welcome and sign-up sequences
-
Customer nurture and retention emails
-
Business updates and newsletters
-
Thank-you emails and abandoned checkouts
-
Cold outreach campaigns and lead magnet promotion
-
Internal and supplier communications ​
We can work within your existing systems or recommend the best setup for you. We regularly support clients on Mailchimp, HubSpot and Lemlist, but we’re equally comfortable working within any platform you already use or prefer.
​
Throughout every campaign we manage the detail including writing, design, scheduling and reporting, so you can be confident your emails are consistent, relevant and on-brand.

Email Marketing in Action:
Samtaler
This is a title.
When Samtaler needed to bring more structure to their marketing, we helped them make sense of a complex HubSpot setup, reorganising and segmenting their CRM so every contact sat in the right place with a clear purpose. This created the foundation for an email programme that supported their wider goals rather than working in isolation.
​
We refreshed their Social Value Files newsletter to give it a stronger voice and clearer format, helping them communicate their insight in a consistent and professional way.
​
Alongside this, we developed targeted outreach through Lemlist to promote their Social Value Assessment lead magnet tool, attracting new, relevant contacts and directing them back into HubSpot for future nurturing.
​
The result was a more confident and coordinated approach to communication. Their email activity became a dependable way to share expertise, strengthen relationships and support long-term growth.

Why It Works
Email works because it speaks directly to people who already recognise your business. When the message, timing and purpose are clear, it becomes one of the easiest and most effective ways to guide someone from awareness to action.
​
The real value comes when email is connected to your wider marketing. When it reflects your brand voice, supports your website content and complements your retention plans, it feels consistent and builds trust over time. Small improvements then compound, turning your email activity into a steady source of engagement and growth.
​
With regular monitoring and refinement, email becomes not just a channel, but a reliable part of how your business communicates and moves forward.
