● Prepared for MailegEmail retention proposalThe Retention Marketers

The first Maileg friend shouldn't be the last.

We help ecommerce brands turn email and SMS into consistent retention and revenue channels. For Maileg, that means building and managing the entire customer journey after someone discovers the brand.

We manage the retention channel for you, from strategy to send.

Repeat purchases, collection expansion and customer lifetime value, driven by email and SMS.

We handle
  • Email & SMS strategy
  • Campaign planning
  • Copywriting
  • Email design
  • Klaviyo build & implementation
  • Automated email & SMS flows
  • Customer segmentation
  • Campaign execution
  • Reporting & optimization

SECTION 01

What we do.

One team managing Maileg's email retention channel from strategy through execution.

You give us the brand. We run the channel.

The plain version

We plan the campaigns → write the copy → design the emails → build them in Klaviyo → segment the audience → schedule and send → analyze results → optimize.

01

Strategy

We determine what Maileg should communicate, to whom, and when.

02

Campaign planning

We build the monthly email calendar around products, launches, seasons and customer behaviour.

03

Creative

We write the copy and design the emails in Maileg's visual direction.

04

Klaviyo

We build the campaigns, flows, segments and targeting inside Klaviyo.

05

Execution

We manage approvals, scheduling and deployment.

06

Optimization

We analyze performance and continuously improve what gets sent, who receives it and how it converts across email and SMS.

The strategy underneath it: turn every Maileg purchase into an invitation to discover what's next.

SECTION 02

The opportunity for Maileg.

What we're ultimately trying to improve: more revenue from existing customers.

A mouse needs a home. A home needs furniture. A season creates a new story.

Why it matters commercially

Customers aren't buying a single item. They're building a world. That gives the retention channel a natural reason to keep selling without discounting.

01

Customer value

Increase the number of products customers purchase over their lifetime.

02

Purchase frequency

Give customers more relevant reasons to return.

03

Cross-sell

Introduce products that naturally complement what they've already purchased.

04

Retention

Keep Maileg top of mind between purchases and gifting occasions.

Email becomes more than a promotional channel. It becomes the system that keeps customers discovering what's next.

SECTION 03

What we'd build for Maileg.

Two engines: a monthly campaign calendar, and automated journeys running in the background.

Campaigns

Every month, we plan and execute a calendar of campaigns around:

Product discovery

Introduce characters, collections and new products.

Storytelling

Turn Maileg's products into stories customers want to explore.

Gifting

Birthdays, holidays, Christmas and other gifting moments.

Seasonal moments

Relevant products and stories throughout the year.

Collection building

Show customers what they can add to the Maileg world they've already started.

Automations

We build and manage the automated journeys that run in the background.

Welcome

New subscriber → Maileg story → Product discovery → First purchase

Post-purchase

Purchase → Product introduction → Inspiration → Complementary products → Next purchase

Browse / Cart

Product interest → Education → Related products → Purchase

Collection Builder

Previous purchase → Relevant characters → Accessories → Furniture → New collections

Winback

No purchase → What's new → Seasonal inspiration → New reason to return

Observed opportunity

Maileg is not currently collecting phone numbers.

That leaves a high-intent owned channel untapped, particularly for launches, cart recovery and time-sensitive gifting moments.

Our recommendation

Start building a compliant SMS audience.

We would introduce phone capture at the right customer touchpoints, establish consent and preference management, then build and manage SMS campaigns and flows alongside email.
