Expected Outcomes

Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with email marketing automation.

80% reduction

Campaign Setup Time

Pre-built templates and automated triggers mean campaigns launch in minutes rather than the hours previously spent designing one-off emails.

The Challenge

Common email marketing automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

The business has a database of thousands of past clients but never contacts them, leaving easy revenue from repeat and referral work on the table.

Marketing consists of occasional letterbox drops and sporadic social media posts with no tracking of what actually generates jobs.

Seasonal peaks and troughs are accepted as inevitable because there is no proactive outreach to drive demand during quieter periods.

The office manager tried Mailchimp once but could not figure out segmentation or automation, so the account sits unused.

Implementation

How we implement email marketing automation for your trades & construction business.

Segment by Job Type and Lifecycle

Your customer database is segmented by property type (residential, commercial, strata), job history, suburb, and lifecycle stage. Past clients, quoted-not-won leads, and referral sources each receive distinct messaging.

✓ Tools: Mailchimp, ServiceM8, Make

Build Trade-Specific Campaign Templates

Branded email templates are created for seasonal service reminders, new service announcements, safety compliance updates, and referral reward promotions. Templates match your van livery and website branding.

✓ Tools: Mailchimp, Canva, Make

Configure Behaviour-Based Triggers

Automated sequences trigger on events like job completion, quote expiry, seasonal milestones (pre-summer aircon service, pre-winter heating checks), and post-inspection follow-ups.

✓ Tools: Make, Mailchimp, ServiceM8

Track Performance and Optimise

Open rates, click rates, and conversion to booked jobs are tracked per campaign and segment. A/B testing on subject lines and send times is used to continuously improve engagement.

✓ Tools: Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Google Looker Studio
