Question 1

Does email marketing work in Cameroon?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the audience. For B2B, institutions, NGOs, training, property and the diaspora it works well, because those audiences use email daily. For walk-in retail and impulse purchases, WhatsApp broadcast and Status perform better.

Question 2

I have no email list. Where do subscribers come from?

Accepted Answer

From people already touching the business: website visitors, WhatsApp enquiries, past customers and event attendees. A list grows from an offer worth joining for, not from a subscribe box in the footer.

Question 3

Can I email a purchased list?

Accepted Answer

No. It is illegal in most markets, complaint rates rise immediately, and the damage lands on the domain reputation used by your website and quotes. A small opted-in list outperforms a large bought one.

Question 4

How often should I email my list?

Accepted Answer

Once a month, consistently, is a good starting point. What damages a list is irrelevance and irregularity rather than frequency.

Question 5

Do you write emails in French as well as English?

Accepted Answer

Yes, written rather than translated and sent to the correct segment. A translated subject line does not open at the same rate as one written in French.

Question 6

Which email platform do you use?

Accepted Answer

Whichever suits the list size and budget, several of which have free tiers. The account is created in the client's name so the list and sequences belong to them.

Question 7

What does email marketing cost?

Accepted Answer

Setup and sequence writing are quoted as a one-off after the audit, and monthly campaigns quoted separately. Platform fees are paid directly by the client.

Question 8

Who owns the list?

Accepted Answer

The client, entirely. It sits in their account, in their name, and can be exported at any time.
