Email Marketing for St Ives Businesses
A St Ives business selling to people who work in Cambridge during the day often finds its emails opened in the evening, not at nine in the morning. Working from Hills Road, twenty five minutes away, we check first whether your emails actually arrive, since a missing DMARC record will push you quietly to spam. Only then do we build the flows that fit when your customers genuinely have time to read them.

About us
Clickscope is a small email team based in Cambridge, about twenty five minutes from St Ives. We work on deliverability fixes and automated flows, judged on revenue per email rather than open rates. We're a Cambridge digital marketing agency about 25 minutes away, close enough that email marketing decisions get made in person, not over email chains.
Our MISSION
Fix deliverability, then time the flows around a commuter list
The first check is always whether your emails actually arrive, because authentication problems stay invisible in ordinary reporting until deliverability collapses. Then we build welcome, replenishment and lead nurture flows timed to when a St Ives customer, often home from Cambridge in the evening, actually opens them.

Judged on revenue per email, not open rates
Open rates haven't been a trustworthy figure since Apple began pre-loading images, so instead we report revenue per email sent, revenue per subscriber and click to conversion.
How we run email marketing for St Ives businesses
01 / How we work
Deliverability first, then the flows that earn
Checking SPF, DKIM and DMARC alignment, bounce and complaint rates and spam trap exposure comes before any new copy, since a missing authentication record quietly limits everything built on top of it.

Timed to when people actually read
Send times are tested against your list's real behaviour rather than a default nine o'clock slot, which matters where a large share of readers commute.

Your list, your platform, kept in your name
Klaviyo, Mailchimp or HubSpot, chosen to suit your business, is the platform we work in, and the account stays yours so your team can send without us.
Client Results
One client's segmented sends have hit open rates of 74% against a genuinely engaged list. That level of engagement reflects a list that's properly maintained and wants the emails, which isn't typical. It's a clear example of what list hygiene and relevance are worth.

FAQ
The questions you actually want answered
Do you have an office we can visit near St Ives?
We work from 9 Hills Road, Cambridge, around twenty five minutes from St Ives. Whether that's a call or a visit to your premises, either suits us.
How is email marketing priced?
Pricing is a flat monthly fee agreed upfront and scaled to the campaigns and flows in scope, with no setup fee. You pay the provider directly for platform costs.
Is email marketing run under a binding contract?
No. The engagement rolls monthly, and leaving needs only 30 days' notice, flows and lists included.
Is a guarantee possible that our emails will stop going to spam?
The underlying issue is usually fixable, typically authentication or list hygiene rather than content. We audit SPF, DKIM and DMARC and clean the list, with recovery taking a few weeks.
Many of our St Ives customers are commuters. Does that change when we should send?
Yes. We usually test evening and weekend sends against a standard nine o'clock slot for a commuter heavy list. That's when a large share of your audience is actually free to read email.
Which St Ives sectors do you run email marketing for?
Independent retail, hospitality and riverside leisure, and professional services are sectors we work with here, where seasonal sends around the summer river trade tend to earn well.
Do you only run email marketing for St Ives businesses?
No, Cambridge is our base, and we also serve clients in Cambourne and Waterbeach. Being close to St Ives describes our working relationship, not a limit on who the emails reach.
Is the website our emails link back to something you'd also fix?
Yes, web design and development are handled in-house too, so a landing page behind a campaign that's losing conversions can be fixed alongside it.
What's involved in the first 90 days once email marketing starts?
We start by auditing SPF, DKIM, DMARC and list hygiene, then rebuild the welcome flow, agreeing sending frequency based on engagement rather than a fixed calendar.
By what measure do you know email marketing is working?
Revenue per email sent, revenue per subscriber, click to conversion rate and the share of total revenue from email are the measures, reported separately for flows and campaigns.
St Ives has a strong summer river trade and market days. Should our sending calendar follow that?
It should. We build a sending calendar around market days and the summer river trade rather than a flat pace all year. Demand genuinely moves week to week here.
