It's been a while — your fall cleanup is due

Fall cleanup
$149 (sample price)

Hi Dana — your last visit with us was in March of last year. A fall cleanup now clears the leaves and readies the beds before the first frost.

Your customer list is the one channel you already paid for. I write to it, turn replies into bookings, and ask happy customers to say so.

Why good customers go quiet

Nobody owns the list

Names sit in the booking software and the invoicing tool. No one's job is to write to them.

Leads that didn't book hear nothing

Someone asked for a quote in March. Nobody followed up, so they called whoever did.

Past customers forget your name

A year later the yard needs work again, and they search "near me" like they never met you.

The result?You pay to win the same customer twice.
The retention loop

One system, six jobs it does every month

Step 1: Capture

Every visitor gets a way onto the list

A signup that asks for an email and gives something useful back.

Step 2: Nurture

New names hear from you in week one

A short welcome series, so the first email isn't a sales pitch a year later.

Step 3: Reactivate

Customers who went quiet get a reason to come back

The list is sorted by last visit. Anyone past their season gets a reminder written for them.

Step 4: Convert

One tap from email to a booked visit

Every email has one clear button, pointed at your booking page.

Step 5: Review

Customers who came back say so

After the visit, a review request goes out while it's still fresh.

"How did Tuesday's visit go? It takes a minute." — the request

Step 6: Measure

A monthly report you can check

Sent, delivered, clicked, booked — each number says where it came from. Opens are shown with their caveat, because Apple Mail inflates them.

Frequently asked questions

Who will I work with?

Me — Edwin Lovett. I write, build and send your campaigns, and I'm the one you talk to.

Who do you email?

Only people who have a relationship with your business: past customers and people who asked to hear from you. Every contact carries where it came from. Bought or rented lists are refused.

What does the $500 Pilot include?

One campaign to the list you already have — written, designed, approved by you, sent from your domain and measured. If you continue, the $500 is credited in full to your first month.

Is my list mine?

Yes. It stays yours, and you can export it any time. If you stop, you leave with everything.

What does "targeted impressions" mean?

On Audience Growth and Growth+, media is a defined number of display impressions with the geography, audience, device, frequency cap and dates written down. It's never sold as a vague budget.

How are results measured?

Each report shows sent, delivered, clicked and booked, and where each number came from. Opens are shown with a caveat, because Apple Mail's privacy protection inflates them.

How do I cancel?

Month-to-month, with 30 days' notice. No long contract.
