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)

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

Frequently asked questions

Do Kenyans read emails?

Yes, particularly in B2B and higher-end B2C. However, SMS marketing is often a critical counterpart in the Kenyan market for urgent communications.

Which platform do you recommend?

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

What percentage of revenue should email generate?

A healthy ecommerce store should drive 20% to 30% of its total revenue from owned marketing channels (email and SMS).
