Repeat enquiries and reminders

A customer who has already paid comes back more cheaply than a new one. We put your own list to work: reasons to return, reminders about dates and a sane frequency — no "message everyone" campaigns.

Outcome

What stays with you afterwards

Reasons instead of mailshots

We write not "we have a sale" but "your date is in a month". Such a message gets read because it is about the customer, not about us.

A frequency you can defend

How many times a year it is appropriate to remind someone, and who should not be written to at all. The rule is written down before the work starts.

Repeat enquiries counted separately

Enquiries from old customers are counted apart from new ones — otherwise the success of this work gets credited to advertising, and a failure the other way round.

Who it fits

When people come to us with this

For whom this work pays back fastest.

The purchase repeats

Servicing, repairs, consumables, seasonal work, renewals. The person will come back on their own — if they are remembered in time.

There is a list, but nobody works with it

Customer contacts sit in a CRM, a spreadsheet or a technician’s phone. The last message went out last year.

There is a date the customer forgets

An inspection, a renewal, a service, a filing. A reminder here is a favour, not an advert.

New enquiries are getting expensive

The auction is hot, the cost per visit is rising — and next to it lies a list of people who have already paid you.

How the work goes

A clear order, no surprises

1 · A conversation and a count

Half an hour about your work: where enquiries come from today, how many there are, who answers them and what counts as a good customer. No access to your systems is needed at this step.

2 · A picture, and one channel

We show what happens to enquiries today and pick where to start: one channel and one way of counting. The picture stays with you either way.

3 · Switch on and count

We turn the channel on, set up intake and source tags, and then look at the numbers with you every week: what works, what we switch off, where the money moves.

The figure is named in a quote for your task, once it is clear which channels we switch on, how many enquiries you get today and who answers them. There is no price list here on purpose: every niche has its own cost per enquiry and its own deal size, and an "average price" means averaged work.

Straight talk

What we do ourselves and what we do with partners

We do this ourselves

We go through the list and work out the reasons together with you; we set the reminders and count repeat enquiries as a separate line.

Replies land in the same inbox as new enquiries, tagged as returning.

We build this out for you

Where the list lives and how you write to it is built out for you: email, a messenger, a call from the technician. A customer portal, if you need one, is a neighbouring job — see the client portal page.

We run this with a partner

Bulk messaging and work with telecom operators we run through specialist contractors, and we keep strictly to consent rules: we will not write to people who did not agree to it.

Where a partner does the work, we stay your single point of contact: we pick the contractor, set the task, watch the timing and answer to you for the result. The contract names the contractor honestly — no "we do everything in-house".

Questions

What people usually ask

Is this a mailshot?
No. A mailshot goes to everyone and is about us; here the message goes to one person and is about them: a date is due, a consumable has run out, it is time to renew.
What if there is no list?
Then we build one honestly first, out of the enquiries arriving now. We do not use bought-in databases and do not advise you to.
How is this different from retargeting?
There advertising follows people who visited the site and bought nothing — that is the returning visitors page. Here we work with people who have already paid, from your own list.
Will customers not be annoyed?
They will, if you write often and without a point. That is why the frequency and the reasons are agreed in advance, and unsubscribing is made simple and visible.
Enquiry

Let us look at your task

Half an hour about where your customers come from — no access to your systems and no commitments.

We call back during working hours. Company details are optional — if you give them, we read the open registries first and come to the conversation prepared.
