SOLUTIONS / EARNED MEDIA

Email Marketing

Email still reaches people who will not install another app, and it remains the cleanest owned list you can have. We build programmes that load on a phone, stay light on images, and tell the truth about stock, delivery and local payment options so the message survives a sceptical inbox.

ROI
Industry DMA and similar studies have repeatedly ranked email among the highest-ROI digital channels. That is a sector benchmark, not an Accerstus client multiple.
Mobile
Industry email-client reports show most opens on phones. A desktop-only template is a failed send in this region.
Light
Heavy HTML and auto-loading video burn data. Industry practice for emerging markets is lean templates, compressed images and a plain-text part.
List
Industry deliverability consensus: permission and engagement beat bought files. We do not load scraped or purchased addresses.

Industry benchmarks, not Accerstus client results. Verify before citing.

We write mail people can load, trust and act on from a phone.

FRAMEWORK APPROACH

Email is a system: capture, consent, lifecycle, deliverability and content. A pretty newsletter without list hygiene is how brands land in spam and stay there.

Earn the address, keep the permission.

Forms that say what people will get, double opt-in where the law or the ESP requires it, and a clear way out. POPIA and similar rules are the floor, not a slogan.

Design for the client, not the mockup.

Gmail, Outlook and native iOS. Single-column, large tap targets, EcoCash or Ozow named in the offer, not a generic 'checkout'.

Automate the useful journeys.

Welcome, abandoned browse, restock, and post-purchase that actually help. We do not drip seven teasers for a webinar nobody asked for.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The list is an asset

We suppress unengaged addresses before we 'win back' them to death. Deliverability protects everyone still paying attention.

One job per send

A price, a restock, a guide. Newsletters that try to be a homepage get deleted on the kombis wifi.

WhatsApp is a sibling, not a replacement

Broadcast lists and email have different consent and different jobs. We will not dump the email file into WhatsApp against the rules.

Measure to the click you own

Open rates are noisy under Apple Mail Privacy. We brief on clicks, replies and revenue where the shop can attribute it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for receipts, longer explanations and people who will not join a broadcast list. WhatsApp and email should share the offer, not fight for the same message with different consent.
We implement on the ESP you already have, or we recommend one that matches list size and shop stack. Klaviyo, Mailchimp and similar tools are platforms we work with, not exclusive partnerships.
No. Open rates are distorted by privacy features and by list quality. We set goals on clicks, conversions and list health.
SMS and WhatsApp can sit in the same lifecycle map when they are in scope and compliant. They are not assumed in an email-only brief.
