| MailboxFox: Overview & Pricing Breakdown |
The success of MailboxFox goes hand-in-hand with its clients. That’s why our main focus is to manage your email marketing as if it was our own, ensuring the best possible return.
As most marketing departments lack either the time or the facilities to manage their own email marketing why not capitalise on our experience in creating eye-catching, profit generating email marketing campaigns.
MailboxFox offers 3 different types of email marketing service levels:
1. Managed PLUS |
MailboxFox will act as your very own email marketing department, from creating a range of ‘on-brand’ emails to sending and reporting on its success.
Key features include:
• Unlimited list sizes • Free data cleansing / de-duping • Connect MailboxFox to your website to add subscribers • Dynamic content • Refer a friend link • Social networking link • FREE Survey builder | • FREE Micro site builder (for dedicated newsletter landing pages) • FREE unlimited test sends • Send from your companydomain.com* • Triggered event emails – E.g. Up Sell email sent automatically to customers who order product A • Generate a ‘hot prospect’ list based on click-through. • FREE unlimited email support |
Of course you can have as many or as little features as you like – it’s up to you!
So, what is included?
| We will design and build your email newsletters |
Our expert creative folk will work with your marketing/brand strategy and supplied content to generate eye-popping designs that get results.
Our experience says that touching base with your database approximately every 10 days is the best way of avoiding ‘spamming’ your lists, that’s why this package includes 1 custom design every 10 days. If you require more custom templates, please contact us to discuss a more tailored solution.
Key areas we would require from you before starting the design process are:
• Your brand • Your website • Key messages to deliver | • Offers/content to include • Examples of your competitors emails |
We will design your emails following our strict best-practice methodology, always ensuring the best possible return for you.
Our MailboxFox experts will upload your email lists, while simultaneously de-duping it to your account.
This also includes adding unique data fields to help with segmentation purposes in the future. We can create extra ‘custom’ fields to each contact so you can segment or user for dynamic content. For example, one of our flight operator clients wanted to know what the user’s local airport is to send targeted dynamic content for that airport. They saw an increase of 150% on local airport sales.
Finally, after every ‘send’ we will report to you on hard and soft bounces, unsubscribes and additional sign ups.
| We will send your campaigns |
Before sending your email, using our advanced send tools, we will test it in over 20 of the leading email clients (Outlook, Hotmail, AOL etc), to ensure that your message can be seen by as many recipients as possible.
MailboxFox will send your email campaigns on your behalf. Depending on the campaign strategy, this could mean a segmented send (smaller chunks of an email list to better handle response levels), scheduled (send in the future automatically) or immediate.
We can even test your emails using A / B random samples and discover which style of message your database prefers.
You can send dynamic content emails, which means that the email system will automatically change the content in your email so it is tailored to the subscriber. For example, if a user has previously bought CD’s then the email system will change the content to show them only CD offers, if they had bought DVD’s, then it will show only DVD offers.
Sending your campaign can be as simple or complex as you prefer.
| We will report on your campaigns success |
MailboxFox offers advanced reporting capabilities including ‘hotspots’, graphical representations and more. We will work with you to generate custom reports showing you the results of your campaign in a way more suitable for you and your business.
Optional extras are:
| Monthly retainer of email marketing consultancy |
One of our experienced email marketing guru’s will have a dedicated set number of hours per month, purely to provide you with profitable ideas on the best way to marketing your company via email.
Combining two of our greatest strengths; knowledge and creativity, we will create your email marketing strategy. Our email marketing guru’s will work with our creative wizards to generate a unique strategy that hits your key target markets, is on-brand and delivers your key messages to generate the best results for you.
There will be a short-term, mid-term and long-term action plan along with recommendations for marketing (this could include particular offers to help generate interaction with subscribers i.e. win an iPod etc).
Once the marketing strategy has been signed off by you, we will begin executing the plan straight away…
