[Compare relevant agencies](https://globalleadindex.com/services/email-marketing/#service-agencies) [Prepare the brief](https://globalleadindex.com/services/email-marketing/#brief) ## When this scope is useful You have an audience with a known subscription basis and a meaningful follow-up or retention scenario. A cold prospecting program needs a separate brief, list provenance and delivery review; do not treat it as a newsletter. ## Questions that distinguish the team - How are segments and exclusions defined? - Who owns consent and suppression data? - What happens after a reply, unsubscribe or purchase? ## Inputs before work starts Segment definitions, subscription records, suppression lists, message inventory and event data. ## Three ways to scope the work These are buyer-side scope models, not an agency price list. Use the inputs, client responsibilities and exclusions below for each model. ### 01 / Diagnose **Work:** Audit lists, current journeys and delivery setup. **Handover:** Journey and data-quality audit. ### 02 / Deliver a defined project **Work:** Launch an agreed sequence with tested triggers and exclusions. **Handover:** Approved templates, trigger map and test contacts. ### 03 / Manage and improve **Work:** Review delivery issues, customer actions and overlapping communications. **Handover:** Lifecycle report and change log. ## Acceptance and shared responsibility A test contact receives only the intended sequence; suppression and unsubscribe paths work; purchases stop inappropriate messages. ### Client responsibilities Provide audience provenance, approve messaging and assign reply ownership. ### What needs separate agreement Purchased contact lists, unapproved sends and unscoped CRM migrations are not part of the plan. Ask for a cost estimate based on the actual access, production volume, integrations and review cadence. A comparable price requires the same scope. ### Take this into the brief ```text Service: Email marketing Inputs: Segment definitions, subscription records, suppression lists, message inventory and event data. Acceptance: A test contact receives only the intended sequence; suppression and unsubscribe paths work; purchases stop inappropriate messages. Questions: How are segments and exclusions defined? Who owns consent and suppression data? What happens after a reply, unsubscribe or purchase? ``` ## Common buying questions **Are opens enough to judge success?** No. Inspect relevant clicks, replies and later actions with measurement limits. **Who should receive a sequence?** Define the segment and exclusions before importing contacts. ## Evidence to examine Evidence review ## [Cryptus: preserve ROMI and enquiry definitions](https://globalleadindex.com/cases/cryptus-metric-definition/) The reported figure is labeled ROMI, not ROAS or profit. A course enquiry also does not establish an enrolment or retained customer. Keep both definitions in the brief. ## Sources and review date Sources read on: 2026-09-11. A source review is not an audit of the agency’s systems. - [mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-segments/ ↗](https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-segments/) ## Related work [CRM integration](https://globalleadindex.com/services/crm-integration/) [Marketing analytics](https://globalleadindex.com/services/marketing-analytics/) [International lead generation](https://globalleadindex.com/services/international-lead-generation/) ## Before choosing [How we assess evidence](https://globalleadindex.com/methodology/) [Compare agencies](https://globalleadindex.com/agencies/) ## Editorial selection for this scope Inclusion follows a public service description, not a service-specific score.
