Factors That Affect Pricing
These factors most influence email marketing pricing.
Copy vs. Send-Only
Some clients need full copywriting + design + strategy. Others have copy ready and just need execution. Be explicit about whether your rate covers copywriting, design, strategy, and reporting — or just deployment.
List Size & Segmentation
Managing a 500-person list with one segment is far simpler than a 100,000-person list with complex behavioural segmentation and A/B testing. Price based on list complexity, not just subscriber count.
Platform Complexity
Setting up a simple Mailchimp broadcast is different from configuring Klaviyo flows with conditional logic, custom properties, and Shopify integration. Platform-specific expertise commands a higher rate.
Automation Buildout
Building automated sequences (welcome series, abandoned cart, re-engagement) is a one-time project that delivers ongoing value. Price automation buildouts as projects, separate from monthly management.
Strategy & Analytics
Clients paying for strategy get campaign planning, A/B test design, and monthly performance analysis. This is higher-value work than execution-only. Price it separately if you offer both tiers.
Reporting Cadence
Weekly performance updates, open rate / click rate benchmarking, and list health monitoring all take time. Include your reporting cadence in your retainer scope and factor the hours into your rate.
