the sequence

How an email sequence follows up for you

A sequence starts from one trigger, such as a quote sent or a service coming due.

  • An open moves the contact on to the next message.
  • A quiet contact gets the email again with a new subject and a new angle.
  • A reply or a booking takes them out of the sequence and over to you.

Everyone who enquired through the site, tagged with the page they came from. The first reply to a new enquiry is automated lead follow-up; email handles reminders and seasonal offers after that.

Questions about email marketing

What kinds of email work for a local business?
Service reminders, seasonal offers and follow-ups on quotes that went quiet do most of the work.

Do I need an email list to start?
No. The list builds from people who enquire through your website, and an existing list can be imported.

Who writes the emails?
AI drafts each one in your voice from the offer you describe, and you approve it. On managed plans our team reviews it first.

How do you keep emails out of spam folders?
The platform tracks bounces and inbox placement for every send, and warns you before a sending domain starts to go cold.

How much does email marketing cost with askotter?
Email is included in every plan. On the $600/mo managed plan askotter sets it up, and from $1000/mo askotter runs it for you.
