CONNECTING THROUGH THE INBOX

Email marketing at Summit Lawns is a key driver of customer engagement and retention. By crafting compelling messages and visually appealing designs, these campaigns effectively communicate updates, promotions, and service information. Tailored to reach specific audiences, our email marketing strategy strengthens client relationships and encourages action, making it a vital component of the overall marketing approach.

To execute these campaigns efficiently, I use platforms like Mailchimp and Service Autopilot. These tools provide robust capabilities for segmentation, automation, and analytics, enabling us to target the right audiences with precision. They also streamline the design and delivery process, ensuring every email reflects Summit Lawns’ branding and meets the highest professional standards.

2024 SNOW REMOVAL CAMPAIGN

The 2024 Snow Removal campaign is based on the successful Christmas Lights campaign. It uses Mailchimp automation to send a series of 10 emails over a period of 40 days. This slow-trickle approach nurtures leads and educates recipients about snow removal services, encouraging them to make a purchase or unsubscribe. A key goal is to target Christmas lights customers in specific neighborhoods, helping to build dense snow removal routes for greater efficiency.

Key Objectives:

  • Execute a 10-email campaign to engage and nurture potential snow removal customers

  • Target snow removal clients in specific neighborhoods to develop dense service routes

  • Direct recipients to the website to make purchasing decisions and increase snow removal client numbers

Although the 2024 Snow Removal campaign is still in development, the strategy is based on insights from the Christmas Lights campaign. With a similar structure and automation, the campaign is set to achieve high engagement and increase snow removal clients while strategically building dense service routes in key neighborhoods.

2024 CHRISTMAS LIGHTS CAMPAIGN

The 2024 Christmas Lights campaign marks Summit Lawns' first full-scale email marketing initiative using Mailchimp. This 10-email series is designed as a slow trickle, with clients receiving one email every four days. The goal is to nurture potential customers through the decision-making process, with recipients opting out either by unsubscribing or purchasing the service. With over 8,000 recipients, this campaign has shown strong results, establishing a successful foundation for future email campaigns.

Key Objectives:

  • Nurture leads over time with a gradual, 10-email sequence to build anticipation and interest in the Christmas Lights service.

  • Encourage engagement by directing recipients to the Summit Lawns website through clear calls to action.

  • Monitor and optimize open and click rates to continually improve the campaign's effectiveness.

The 2024 Christmas Lights campaign has seen an impressive average open rate between 32-36%, with a 10% click rate. About 60% of those clicks are directed to Summit Lawns' website, which is the desired outcome. The success of this campaign has provided valuable insights into client engagement and email marketing strategies, setting the stage for future campaigns that can be refined based on these results.
