About Email Marketing KC
Email Marketing KC is an email writing and sending studio that produces owner-voice emails for Kansas City shops that already have customers and a list.
What Email Marketing KC does
The work is the email, not the software. Short letters that sound like the owner, then sent on a schedule you pick. Full published ladder on pricing.
4-email pilot
Four weekly emails in your voice, you approve. Fee is 10% of coded orders with a floor of $600 to $1,200 set before the first send. Tracking uses a unique code in each email. Request it from pricing or call.
Email review ($747)
A one-time look at the list and the tool. Last eight subjects rewritten, a 90-day send calendar, and a 45-minute call. Paid on Stripe. Details on email review.
Setup ($2,800)
First week launch: clean the list, simple letter template, from-name and footer cleaned, and four emails written. One-time project. See setup.
Monthly emails ($1,850/mo)
One email a month, one offer, subject tests on the last send, and a one-page report. Month-to-month after the first billed month. Monthly emails.
Weekly emails ($3,900/mo)
One email a week, follow-up on quotes that sat, list care each month, and a one-page report. Month-to-month after the first billed month. Weekly emails.
Daily emails
An email every weekday in your voice. Pricing is 8% of list-tied sales with a $6,500 floor, agreed in writing before start. For shops where 8% beats the weekly fee. Daily emails.
What makes Email Marketing KC different
Selling writing and sending, not software
Mailchimp and Klaviyo DIY put the tool in your lap and leave the writing to you. Email Marketing KC writes the letters and sends them. You keep paying for the email tool; the product here is the words and the cadence.
Published pricing vs national agencies at $5k to $12k
National email retainers often quote $5k to $12k and bury writing inside tool fees. Here the ladder is public: review $747, setup $2,800, monthly $1,850, weekly $3,900, plus the pilot and daily terms on pricing.
Month-to-month retainers vs annual marketing contracts
Monthly and Weekly are month-to-month after the first billed month. Cancel with 30 days written notice. No annual retainer required. Daily is custom and agreed in writing before start.
High-ticket local ICP, not ecom blast volume
The shop is built for flooring, specialty retail, trades, and clinics where the average job is a few thousand dollars. Not a volume play for cheap ecom blasts.
You work with John (same person as Kansas City SEO Services)
Customers work with John Alewine. If they also need map-pack listings, that is a separate brand at Kansas City SEO Services. Same person, different shop.
