Email marketing and newsletters from CICOR Marketing keep a business in front of its past customers and new leads, the people most likely to buy again or send a referral. We plan the calendar, write and design each send in your brand, build the lists and segments, and send from your own email platform. A monthly report shows what people opened, clicked, and did next. Every send follows consent and CAN-SPAM rules, and every list stays yours. Plans are scoped to your list and how often you send.

Think about everyone who has ever bought from you or asked for a quote. They said yes to hearing from you. Most of them have not heard a word since, while your ads pay to reach strangers.

Email is the one channel where you own the audience. There is no algorithm deciding who sees it and no bid to win. A monthly newsletter, a welcome sequence for new leads, and a reactivation series for old customers keep you in mind for the day they need you again.

The idea is never the problem. Nobody has time to write it, build it, and send it every month. That is the job this service takes off your desk.

Who It Fits

Who this is for, and who it is not

This service fits a business with a real list, or one that can build one fast: past customers, patients, quote requests, event sign-ups, or store buyers. A home services company with 2,000 past customers, a dental practice with a recall list, and a retailer with a year of orders all fit. It also fits an owner who knows email matters and keeps putting it off. It is the simplest service in the Connect and Nurture group.

It is not the right fit if you want to buy a list and blast it. We do not send to purchased or rented lists, ever. It is also not the fit for a business that needs a long, branching follow-up system built. That is Marketing Automation and Lead Nurturing, and we will point you there if it is the better start.

What Is Included

What is included

PLANNING

Email strategy and monthly calendar

We start by asking what you want email to do: repeat business, referrals, bookings, or reorders. Then we build a calendar that maps each send to that goal. You see the plan before we write a word.

CREATIVE

Template design in your brand

We design a template that matches your site and your logo, loads on a phone, and is easy to read. Every send uses it, so your emails look like they came from the same company each time.

CONTENT

Copy and build for every send

We write each email, build it in your platform, test it, and schedule it. You approve the copy before it goes out.

BUILD

List hygiene, segments, and basic automation

We clean the list, remove bad addresses, and group contacts by what they bought or asked about.

REPORTING

Monthly report

Each month you get one page: deliverability, opens, clicks, replies, and what people did after they clicked. It also says what we will change next month.

How We Work

How it works

Email is a rhythm. The first month sets it.

1. Month one. We review your platform, design the template, and clean the list. If your list is ready, the first send goes out in month one. If it needs work, the first send goes out in month two.

2. Every month after. We write and send the emails in your plan, run the welcome and reactivation automations, and deliver the report.

3. Every quarter. We look at what the list responded to and adjust the calendar.

Your part is small. Approve each email, tell us about news worth sharing, and keep collecting addresses at the front desk or at checkout.

A short example

Picture a heating and air company with 2,000 past customers and no newsletter. In September we send a tune-up reminder with a booking link. In November we send a short article on furnace warning signs. In January the reactivation series goes to anyone who has not booked in two years. The example is illustrative; your results depend on your list and your market.

Why It Matters

Why CICOR Marketing for email

We send from your platform, not ours. Your list, your templates, and your history stay in your account. We follow consent and CAN-SPAM rules on every send, because a list built the right way is worth more than a big one.

Email is one part of a larger system. The content in your newsletter is built on the Digital Authority System, so it also works as a page Google can rank and an AI platform can quote. When a lead is ready to talk, the email history lands in your CRM, which is why we build email and CRM Implementation and Integration together.

CICOR Marketing is a full service marketing agency in Tampa, Florida, with a second office in Naperville, Illinois and clients across more than 50 industries.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Most small businesses should send one newsletter a month, plus the automated emails that go out on their own, like a welcome message. Once a month is often enough to stay in mind and rare enough that people keep opening. Send more only when you have more to say, such as a seasonal offer or an event. CICOR Marketing sets the pace from your goals and your list, then adjusts it from the report.

A good open rate is one that holds steady or rises month over month for your own list, because open rates differ by industry, list age, and how the list was built. Apple Mail Privacy also inflates opens, so the number is less reliable than it used to be. CICOR Marketing watches clicks, replies, and bookings first, and treats opens as a trend rather than a score.

Email marketing from CICOR Marketing is priced by the number of sends per month and the automations that run behind them, plus a one-time setup for the template and the list cleanup. You get a scoped plan in writing after a short call. Your email platform fee is separate. Agencies vary widely on price, so ask what the number covers: strategy, writing, design, list work, and reporting, or just the send.

You own your email list, always. CICOR Marketing sends from your own email platform account, so the contacts, templates, and send history stay in your name. We never buy or rent a list for a client, and every send goes only to people who agreed to hear from you. If you ever stop working with us, nothing has to be moved.

CICOR Marketing works in the email platform you already have, such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or HubSpot. If you do not have one, we recommend one based on your list size, your CRM, and your budget. Switching platforms is not required to start, and the platform fee is billed to you by the platform.

Ready When You Are

The list you already have is waiting

Most businesses we talk to are sitting on hundreds of people who once said yes and have not heard from them since. Tell us how big your list is and what you sell, and we will send back a plan and a first calendar.
