What this service is for

What can an email marketer help you improve?

An email marketer can help you send more useful messages at the right time, from a one-off campaign to a more considered customer journey.

Turn new subscribers into customers

Create welcome emails that introduce your offer, answer common questions, and give people a clear reason to take the next step.

Bring customers back

Plan campaigns and automated messages around repeat purchases, seasonal moments, new products, or useful updates.

Make the list more useful

Improve signup points, segments, and reporting so people receive more relevant communication and your team can see what is working.

Pricing guidance

How much does email marketing cost?

Costs depend on the size and condition of your list, your email platform, the number of emails or automations, and how much content needs creating.

NZ$500–$1,500

A more complete piece of work such as improving lifecycle flows, segments, templates, and reporting around a priority customer journey.

NZ$1,500–$4,500

Ongoing email support

Regular campaign planning, writing, building, testing, and optimisation; the range changes with send frequency, list size, and creative requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before you hire.

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Still deciding what you need?

Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.

What should I include in an email marketing brief?

Include your email platform, list size, customer type, current campaigns or automations, what you want to improve, and any upcoming sales or launches.

Can a freelancer work in our existing email platform?

Often, yes. Name the platform and any connected ecommerce, CRM, or booking tools in the brief so the freelancer can confirm the right approach.

Do we need lots of subscribers before investing in email marketing?

Not necessarily. A smaller engaged list can still benefit from clear welcome emails, customer follow-up, and useful campaigns. The right first project depends on how you collect and use customer details.

How long does an email marketing project take?

A focused campaign or small sequence may take a few weeks. A broader automation project takes longer when list cleanup, content, integrations, and testing are involved.

How do I choose the right email marketing freelancer?

Compare relevant platform and business-model experience, their proposed customer journey, their approach to testing and reporting, timing, and pricing before requesting an introduction.

Ready to get moving?

Tell us what you want email to achieve.

Start with the customer moment you want to improve, whether that is a welcome, a campaign, a repeat purchase, or a better follow-up process.
