Email Marketing Without the Spam or the Stress
Let’s be real – email marketing can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already wearing a hundred hats as a small business owner. You know it should be helping you bring in more business… but where do you even start?
That’s where I come in.
At That Digital Guru, I help local and growing businesses use email the right way, not to annoy people, but to build trust, boost repeat sales, and turn past customers into loyal fans.
Whether you’re running a boutique, a café, a salon, or a local service business, email marketing can help you:
- Stay top of mind with your customers
- Drive more repeat bookings or purchases
- Gently guide your audience back when they’ve gone quiet
- Make your promotions feel personal – not pushy
And the best part? I take care of everything! So you don’t have to lift a finger (except maybe to hit “approve”).
What I Actually Do (In Plain English)
You don’t need to understand open rates, segmentation rules, or email automation workflows – that’s my job. What you do need is a clear, smart email marketing strategy that keeps your customers coming back and helps your business grow.

🧑🤝🧑 Re-engagement sequences to win back quiet subscribers
Content & Design That Connects

The Challenge
A Nottingham-based boutique fashion brand reached out to That Digital Guru after realising their email list was gathering dust.
The Approach
I began by auditing their existing setup: a neglected list, no segmentation, and zero automation. From there, I implemented:
- A welcome series to onboard new subscribers and drive first purchases
- A product spotlight sequence to highlight bestsellers and new arrivals
- A seasonal campaign calendar to keep promotions consistent and on-brand
- Segmentation based on purchase behavior and local vs online customers
All emails were designed for mobile, written in a tone that reflected the brand’s vibe, and focused on soft-selling and relationship-building – not spammy sales tactics.
The Results (Over 90 Days)
✅ 46% average open rate across campaigns (up from 13%)
✅ 31% click-through rate on product feature emails
✅ 32% increase in online sales directly attributed to email flows
✅ 15% re-engagement of inactive customers with a targeted win-back campaign
Let’s build your brand.
Whether you’re brand new to email or tired of sending newsletters no one reads, I’ll help you build a system that feels good, sounds like you, and gets real results.
Email Marketing FAQs
Does email marketing still work?
Yes! Better than ever. Email marketing remains one of the highest-ROI channels for small businesses. When done right, it keeps your brand top of mind, drives repeat business, and helps turn subscribers into loyal customers, without spending a fortune on ads.
What if I don’t have a big email list?
No problem! We can start small. I’ll help you build and grow your list the right way, through your website, social media, and in-store (if you’re a brick-and-mortar business). A small, engaged list is better than a big, silent one.
Will you write the emails for me?
Yes! I take care of the strategy, copywriting, and design so you don’t have to stress over what to say or how to make it look good. If you’d prefer to be involved in the messaging, we can collaborate, but I’ll do the heavy lifting.
How often will you send emails?
It depends on your goals and audience. For most small businesses, 1–4 emails per month is the sweet spot. We’ll create a content calendar that fits your business rhythm- no spamming, no overloading.
Can email work for service-based businesses too?
Absolutely. Whether you’re a salon, plumber, photographer, or personal trainer, email is a great way to stay connected with your clients, promote offers, and encourage repeat bookings. It’s not just for online shops!
Do I need a fancy email platform to get started?
Nope. I’ll help you set up (or optimise) your email platform, whether you’re using Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, or something else. I work with what fits your needs and budget.
How will I know if it’s working?
You’ll get clear, easy-to-understand reports showing opens, clicks, sales, and more. I also walk you through the results so you know exactly what’s working and what we’ll tweak next for even better performance.
