Email & Retention Marketing for Kenyan Brands

Acquiring a new customer in Kenya costs 5–7x more than keeping one. We build automated flows that turn one-time buyers into loyal advocates.

Are you leaving money in abandoned carts?

One-Time Buyers

You're successfully acquiring customers, but they buy once and never return. You have no system to bring them back.

Abandoned Carts Ignored

70% of carts are abandoned, and you don't have a sequence to follow up and recover that lost revenue.

Spammy Broadcasts

You're just blasting your entire list with discounts, training them to only buy when there's a sale.

How we approach email & retention marketing

01

Welcome series and core flows

We set up the foundational automations: Welcome Series, Abandoned Cart, Browse Abandonment, and Post-Purchase.

02

Segmentation strategy

We segment your list into VIPs, unengaged, window shoppers, etc., so you send relevant messages.

03

SMS Marketing (Kenya-specific)

Since email open rates vary in Kenya, we integrate SMS for high-priority transactional and promotional alerts.

04

Klaviyo / Mailchimp setup

We handle the technical integration, ensuring all your Shopify/WooCommerce data syncs perfectly.

This service is right for you if...

  • Stores with an existing customer list of 1,000+ people
  • Brands selling consumable or repeat-purchase goods
  • Founders wanting to increase Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV)

This isn't for you if...

  • Stores selling one-off items people only buy once a decade
  • Brands without an email marketing platform budget

For most serious ecommerce stores, we recommend Klaviyo due to its deep integration with Shopify and superior segmentation capabilities.
