What does an email marketing agency do?
An email marketing agency plans, builds and maintains the automated flows and campaigns that turn subscribers and one-time buyers into repeat customers. At Devmenta that means platform setup, flow strategy, copy and design, deliverability and reporting, not just a monthly newsletter.
Automated flows do most of the work. They trigger on behavior, such as signing up, abandoning a cart, buying or going quiet, and keep running once built. Campaigns like newsletters and product launches sit on top.
Which email flows should a store set up first?
Start with welcome, abandoned-cart and win-back flows. They target the moments when intent is highest or slipping, and together they cover new subscribers, almost-buyers and lapsed customers. A post-purchase flow is usually next.
- Welcome series: a short sequence introducing the brand, best-sellers and any first-order offer.
- Abandoned cart and checkout: reminders sent within hours of a cart being left, showing the exact products.
- Post-purchase: order follow-up, care or usage tips, review requests and relevant cross-sells.
- Win-back: a sequence for customers who have not ordered in a set period.
Klaviyo, Mailchimp or HubSpot: which platform should you use?
Klaviyo suits most Shopify stores, Mailchimp suits smaller lists and newsletter-led businesses, and HubSpot suits service and B2B companies that need email tied to a CRM. Devmenta works in all three and recommends one based on your store, list size and budget.
Platform subscriptions are billed by Klaviyo, Mailchimp or HubSpot and are separate from Devmenta's fee.
- Klaviyo: deep Shopify integration, product and order data inside every email, strong segmentation.
- Mailchimp: simple to run in-house, well suited to newsletters and smaller lists.
- HubSpot: email inside a full CRM, useful when leads go through a sales process. See CRM development.
Email deliverability: SPF, DKIM and DMARC
If your domain is not authenticated with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, more of your email lands in spam or is rejected outright. Gmail and Yahoo now require bulk senders to authenticate, offer one-click unsubscribe and keep spam complaint rates low.
Devmenta configures the DNS records, sets up a branded sending domain in your platform, starts DMARC in monitoring mode and tightens the policy once reports show legitimate mail passing. Lists are cleaned and inactive contacts are sunset so they do not drag down inbox placement.
How much does an email marketing agency cost?
Devmenta includes email flows in its Scale plan at $1,199 a month or $6,000 billed yearly, alongside the website, e-commerce, GA4 and Meta pixel, monthly SEO reporting, ad management and 24/7 monitoring. If you only need email, Devmenta quotes it to scope.
US and UK email agencies often charge retainers of a few thousand dollars a month, sometimes with separate setup fees. Every Devmenta plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee and no lock-in. See pricing.
Why work with a Pakistan-based email marketing team?
A Pakistan-based team like Devmenta gives you platform setup, design and ongoing management at a fixed monthly price, with working hours on Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) that overlap the full UK and Gulf working day and US East Coast mornings.
Whoever you hire, ask to see flows they have built, how they handle deliverability, and whether the account stays in your name. Devmenta builds inside your own Klaviyo, Mailchimp or HubSpot account, so the list and the flows remain yours.
