Lead Nurturing Services and Optimization

Establishing Connections That Convert

Every customer journey begins somewhere. Sometimes it’s a contact form submission. Other times, it’s a newsletter signup, a click on a paid ad, or a chat message. But no matter where that first spark of interest starts, what happens next determines whether that lead turns into a loyal customer or simply fades away.

Work With Us

At ES, we understand that lead nurturing is where real growth happens. It’s not just about the first impression; it’s about what you do after that to guide someone through your funnel, build trust, and keep your brand top of mind. Because let’s face it: most leads won’t be ready to convert on day one. That’s where a strategic, data-informed nurturing strategy becomes critical.

Nurture with Purpose, Not Just Persistence

Today’s consumers expect more than a sales pitch. They want information, value, and a sense that they’re being understood. A one-size-fits-all message isn’t enough to move them through the funnel. That’s why our approach to lead nurturing combines smart automation with strategic personalization.

We help you keep the conversation going, on the right channels, at the right cadence, and with the right message so that when your leads are ready to act, it’s you they choose.

Our Lead Nurturing Toolkit

We leverage a mix of email and SMS marketing to keep leads engaged across key points of their journey. Using a blend of thoughtful content, segmentation, and testing, we help turn interest into intent, and intent into action.

Here’s how we do it:

Targeted Creative and Content Development

We craft messages that speak directly to your leads based on where they are in the funnel, what they’ve shown interest in, and what information will help them take the next step.

Multiple-Touch Contact Strategy

One message won’t do it. We map out sequences that span days, weeks, or even months, designed to guide leads through their journey and keep your brand top-of-mind.

A/B Testing

We test subject lines, message formats, send times, and calls-to-action to continuously refine your nurturing efforts and maximize engagement.

Personalization

Using the data you have, whether it’s lead source, location, name, or interest area. we personalize messages to feel more relevant and less like bulk outreach.

List Management

We keep your contact lists healthy by segmenting audiences, removing duplicates or inactive leads, and organizing contacts in a way that improves targeting and reporting.

Multi-Channel Techniques

Email and SMS are just the start. We’ll help you explore additional nurturing channels like retargeting, direct mail, or social messaging depending on your goals and tech stack.

Strategy First, Tactics Second

Before jumping into message creation, we take the time to audit your current lead nurturing efforts, review your audience journey maps, and identify where leads may be falling off. We’ll assess:

Your current contact sequences
Audience segmentation strategies
Programmatic setup and workflows
Overall cadence and timing
Testing performance and optimization potential

From there, we’ll provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen what’s working and rebuild what’s not.

What We Deliver

Once the strategy is set, we bring it to life with engaging, on-brand content and creative that helps leads move forward. That includes:

A Range of HTML Templates
We design email templates for various use cases; everything from evergreen nurture messages to holiday themes, event reminders, and performance-based variations for A/B testing.
Content Built Around Core Messaging
Our writers develop messaging that highlights your unique selling points, shares important updates or deadlines, and integrates insights from key stakeholders across your organization.
Behavior-Informed Follow-Ups
Leads don’t all move at the same pace. We help set up responsive messaging based on user behavior so if someone clicks, downloads, or replies, they get the right follow-up, automatically.
