Email marketing · Akron + Northeast Ohio

Emails people actually open.

Newsletters, welcome emails, and automated flows that do the follow-up for you. I write them, build them, send them, and tell you what worked.

Your list is full of people who already like you.

They bought from you, booked with you, or asked to hear more. Then life got busy, and the newsletter turned into a someday project. That’s the part I take over!

I plan what to send, write it in your voice, build it, and schedule it. You read it over before it goes out. That’s your whole job.

What I handle

A monthly newsletter.

One email a month your customers look forward to: what’s new, something useful, and one clear thing to do next.

A welcome series.

The first few emails a new subscriber gets. Written once, sent on their own, so nobody signs up and hears nothing.

Automated follow-up.

Emails that send themselves after someone books, buys, or goes quiet: thank-yous, review asks, check-ins, and we-miss-yous.

A tidy list and honest numbers.

I clean up your contacts and sort them into groups that make sense. Every month you hear who opened, who clicked, and what I’m changing next.

What’s a good open rate, anyway?

Across industries, about 31% of people open a business email. The ones that beat it tell a story someone actually wants to hear.

Nobody opens an email for an announcement. They open it for the kitchen that finally got finished, the mom who made it through her first week home, the question your front desk answers ten times a day. Every business has those stories. Most just never get written down!

That’s the part I LOVE. I find the story, write it the way you’d tell it across the counter, and send it to people who asked to hear from you. That’s how the emails I run stay above the average. Average from Constant Contact’s 2026 benchmarks.

How it works

  1. A free 30-minute call.

    Tell me about your business, your customers, and what you’ve sent so far. “Nothing” is a fine answer!

  2. A plan and a setup.

    I pick the tool that fits, clean up your list, and map out what to send and when.

  3. I write, you approve, I send.

    You see every email before it goes out. Then I send it and tell you what happened.

Is this for you?

A great fit if...

You have customers and a list, even a messy one. You want it handled, not a course on doing it yourself. You’d rather sound like yourself than like a coupon flyer.

Probably not a fit if...

You want to buy a list and email strangers. I won’t do that, and it lands you in spam anyway. Or you want the cheapest template with your logo dropped in.

I price email work by the hours it takes, so you only pay for what you need. Tell me about your list and I’ll put together a plan and a price that fit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does email marketing cost for a small business?

It depends on how often you send and how much needs setting up. Linden Lehner Marketing prices email work by the hours it takes, and the first 30-minute call is free. Your email tool has its own monthly fee, and several have free plans for small lists.

How often should a small business send emails?

Once a month is a great place to start, plus automated emails that send on their own. Showing up consistently matters more than showing up often. A monthly email that always arrives beats a weekly one that fizzles out by March.

Should I use Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or Constant Contact?

They all work. Mailchimp and Constant Contact are friendly for simple newsletters. Klaviyo shines when you want emails triggered by what a customer does, like booking or buying. If you already have one, I’ll usually keep you there. If you’re starting fresh, I’ll pick the one that fits your business and budget.

What if I don’t have an email list yet?

Then we start one the right way. I set up a signup form for your website, a good reason for people to join (like a helpful guide), and a welcome email so new subscribers hear from you right away.

Will my emails go to spam?

They’re much less likely to when your list is clean and your account is set up properly. I check the behind-the-scenes settings that tell inboxes your emails are really from you, remove addresses that bounce, and never send to people who didn’t ask to hear from you.

Does Linden Lehner Marketing work with businesses outside Akron?

Yes! Linden Lehner Marketing is based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and works with small businesses and FamTech + FemTech brands all over the country. Email is easy to run from anywhere.
