Email marketing consistently outperforms every other digital channel on return on investment. The average return is estimated at £36 for every £1 spent. Most businesses either do not email at all, email inconsistently, or send emails that provide no value and gradually erode list quality.

We manage email campaigns and automation sequences for businesses that want to use their list as a genuine revenue channel. Platform-agnostic: we work with Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign and others.

Why SearchSoda

Email marketing focused on revenue, not open rates

Revenue attribution as the primary metric

Open and click rates are reported. The number we optimise toward is revenue generated per email sent.

Automation that works while you sleep

A properly built welcome sequence and post-purchase programme generates revenue continuously.

List health as a commercial asset

An unengaged list degrades deliverability and eventually stops working. We manage list health actively.

Common Questions

Deliverability depends on domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), list hygiene and engagement rates. We audit and fix deliverability issues before starting.
B2B lists typically respond well to bi-weekly or monthly sends. Ecommerce lists can sustain higher frequency.
Yes. List consent, unsubscribe management and data retention are all addressed as part of the initial platform setup.
EMAIL MARKETING IN DEPTH

Why email consistently delivers the highest ROI in digital marketing and how to achieve it

Email marketing delivers an average return of £42 for every £1 spent, according to the DMA's annual email benchmarks report. No other digital marketing channel comes close to this figure consistently. The reason is structural: you own the relationship with your email list. Unlike social media followers, which are lent to you by the platform and can be taken away by algorithm changes, or paid search visibility, which requires ongoing spend to maintain, an email list is an asset you own outright. When you send an email, it reaches your list regardless of what any algorithm decides.

The most common reason email marketing underperforms is poor list quality rather than poor execution. A list of 10,000 people who want to hear from you will outperform a list of 50,000 people who do not by every meaningful metric. Open rates, click rates, conversion rates and deliverability all benefit from a clean, engaged, permission-based list. Building that list more slowly and maintaining it more carefully produces better commercial outcomes than growing it quickly through questionable means.

Automation is where email marketing becomes scalable. A welcome sequence that introduces new subscribers to the business over several emails, a re-engagement sequence for subscribers who have not opened in 90 days, a post-purchase sequence for ecommerce customers and a lead nurture sequence for service business enquiries can all run automatically, 24 hours a day, creating commercial outcomes without any ongoing manual effort once they are set up correctly.

Deliverability is a technical concern that has significant commercial implications. An email that lands in spam reaches nobody. Sender reputation, SPF and DKIM configuration, list hygiene and sending patterns all affect deliverability. We manage all of these as part of every email marketing engagement, because even the best email campaign is worthless if it does not reach the inbox.

We manage email marketing for businesses across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and throughout the country. We work across Klaviyo, Mailchimp, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and most major email platforms, and can migrate clients between platforms if their current tool is limiting their programme.
