The Right Email Finds People Before They Start Searching
You start thinking about a purchase, and days later an email shows up from a company offering exactly that thing. It feels like good timing. It is actually good targeting.
That is what our Demand Spark Email Series does for your brand. We build an opted-in audience matching your ideal customer profile, then put your message in front of them even if they have not started actively searching.
Spark demand from new prospects by landing in their inbox when it matters most.
Every Send Makes the Next One Sharper
Every send does two jobs. It puts your brand in front of a qualified audience, and it tells us who to reach next.
- Reach people who match your ideal customer profile and have opted in to hear from brands like yours
- Re-drop to non-openers, or send a follow-up only to the people who opened the first email and are already warm
- Get engagement reporting after every send so each drop is smarter than the last
- Use the curated audience data across your broader strategy, including programmatic, Google, and Meta campaigns
As digital advertising platforms expand their AI-assisted targeting, advertisers are losing the ability to curate their audiences precisely based on interests and demographics. With this product, we can target based on >900 interest, location, and demographic options, making the resulting audience curation highly specific.
How We Measure Success
Opens and clicks are how we measure this channel. Our benchmark is a 15 to 18% open rate and roughly a 1.5% click rate, with open rate the more consistent of the two.
Engagement also has a long tail. We track clicks at the individual level, and calls and form submissions often arrive months after a send. Prospects save the email and come back to it when they are ready to act. We count those as an added benefit rather than the goal, and they say something about how long this channel keeps working.
Who This Is Series For
- Long, multi-touchpoint buying cycles where one impression is never enough
- Businesses that need more top-of-funnel interest feeding everything downstream
- Teams with a clear picture of their target audience who simply need to reach more of them
- Brands opening in new markets who need an audience they cannot reach any other way
- Anyone looking to strengthen audience targeting across their paid campaigns
How the Series Works
The Demand Spark Email Series is a package of 6 to 12 sends, deployed monthly or bimonthly. A steady cadence is what makes this channel work, and it gives us enough data to sharpen targeting and creative with every drop.
Optional add-ons extend the audience beyond email:
- Buy the list for direct mail
- Get hashed email addresses or Mobile Ad IDs (MAIDs) to use the audience in your paid campaigns
- Match the list back against your CRM to see which real customers it reached
