Ethical Email Marketing for SMEs
Drive engagement, loyalty and sales with SME Marketing Group’s holistic, values-led approach to email marketing for SMEs.
Email marketing, but not as you know it...
Why Email Marketing Still Reigns for UK SMEs
- Highest ROI in digital: Email regularly delivers £30-plus return for every £1 spent.
- Direct, owned channel: Reach customers without relying on volatile social-media algorithms.
- Personal and permission-based: Speak to people who have actively asked to hear from you.
Our Ethical, Customer-First Philosophy
At SME Marketing Group we refuse to carpet-bomb inboxes. Instead, every campaign is built on three guiding principles:
- Transparency – clear opt-ins, no hidden tricks, GDPR-compliant from day one.
- Relevance – content and timing tailored to each subscriber’s needs, interests and lifecycle stage.
- Value – every send must educate, inspire or reward, not simply sell.
How We Deliver Results
Discovery & Alignment: Deep-dive workshops help us to understand your business goals, audience segments and brand voice. This sets a rock-solid strategic foundation.
Strategy & Planning: We map customer journeys, content themes, automations and KPIs to ensure every email supports measurable objectives.
Creative & Build: Ethical list growth, responsive templates, compelling copy and accessible design, maximises your open, click and conversion rates across devices.
Automation & Personalisation: Behaviour-triggered flows, dynamic content and segmentation boosts relevance, increases lifetime customer value and reduces churn.
Testing & Optimisation: Continuous A/B testing, deliverability checks and monthly performance reviews keep improvement compounding month after month.
