Services — Email & Lifecycle

An email marketing agency that turns buyers into regulars.

Retention is the cheapest growth there is. Shmeer is an email marketing agency that builds the flows, campaigns and segmentation that turn one-time buyers into a retention moat, on Klaviyo, Customer.io or HubSpot, the platform you already pay for.

01 — The problem

Most businesses pay to win customers, then forget them.

Why lifecycle matters

Acquisition costs keep rising, yet many businesses send the occasional newsletter and leave their email platform half set up: no welcome series, a basic abandoned-cart email, no win-back, and one list that gets the same message as everyone else.

Lifecycle marketing fixes that. The right message at each stage, from first sign-up to first purchase, repeat purchase and lapse, sent automatically and personalized to what each customer did.

Done well, owned channels become a compounding revenue engine. In our DTC engagements, retention channels typically contribute 35 to 45% of revenue, which is what makes paid acquisition profitable at scale.

05 — FAQ

Email marketing, answered.

What does an email marketing agency do?

An email marketing agency plans, builds and runs your email (and often SMS) program: platform setup, automated flows, segmentation, campaigns, design and copy, deliverability and reporting.

What is lifecycle marketing?

Lifecycle marketing sends customers the right message at each stage of their relationship with you, from first sign-up to first purchase, repeat purchases and win-back when they lapse, mostly through automated email and SMS.

Do you work with Klaviyo?

Yes. We set up, audit and run Klaviyo programs for ecommerce brands, and also work with Customer.io and HubSpot for SaaS and B2B companies.

Do you do B2B email marketing?

Yes. For B2B we focus on lead nurturing, onboarding, product adoption and re-engagement, usually in HubSpot or Customer.io, connected to your CRM and sales process.

Why are my emails going to spam?

Common causes are missing SPF, DKIM or DMARC records, sending to old or unengaged lists, and sudden spikes in volume. A deliverability audit finds and fixes the specific issues.
