Email Marketing Proposal Template
About the email marketing proposal template
An email marketing proposal is a document used by agencies, freelance email marketers, or marketing consultants to present a proposed email marketing strategy and services to a prospective client. It covers the recommended approach for building or growing an email list, segmenting subscribers, creating campaigns, and measuring performance. Brands use it to evaluate a potential email partner, and agencies use it to win new retainer or project-based work.
Our template includes sections for the current situation or audit summary, campaign goals and KPIs, list management and segmentation strategy, content and send plan, automation overview, platform recommendations, pricing, and timeline. All fields are editable in the PDF Guru editor so you can tailor the document to each client's list size, industry, and goals.
Frequently asked questions
What should an email marketing proposal include?
An email marketing proposal should cover the client's current email situation, the proposed strategy for list growth and segmentation, the types of campaigns to be sent, automation flows, expected KPIs such as open and click rates, a content calendar overview, pricing, and a timeline. The template is structured around these areas.
Can this template be used for both one-time projects and ongoing retainers?
Yes. You can adjust the scope and pricing sections depending on whether you are proposing a single email campaign build-out or an ongoing monthly email marketing retainer. The template is flexible enough for both structures.
What platform details should I include in an email marketing proposal?
If you are recommending a specific email platform such as Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or HubSpot, you can include a brief explanation of why it fits the client's needs, what the setup involves, and any associated platform costs. The template has a section for platform recommendations that you can fill in or remove.
