Email & Retention Marketing for Kenyan Brands
Acquiring a new customer in Kenya costs 5–7x more than keeping one. We build automated flows that turn one-time buyers into loyal advocates.

One-Time Buyers
You're successfully acquiring customers, but they buy once and never return. You have no system to bring them back.
Abandoned Carts Ignored
70% of carts are abandoned, and you don't have a sequence to follow up and recover that lost revenue.
Spammy Broadcasts
You're just blasting your entire list with discounts, training them to only buy when there's a sale.
How we approach email & retention marketing
Welcome series and core flows
We set up the foundational automations: Welcome Series, Abandoned Cart, Browse Abandonment, and Post-Purchase.
Segmentation strategy
We segment your list into VIPs, unengaged, window shoppers, etc., so you send relevant messages.
SMS Marketing (Kenya-specific)
Since email open rates vary in Kenya, we integrate SMS for high-priority transactional and promotional alerts.
Klaviyo / Mailchimp setup
We handle the technical integration, ensuring all your Shopify/WooCommerce data syncs perfectly.
