Art & Craft
Overview: Your Comms Group

This project was delivered as part of a strategic collaboration with Your Comms Group, supporting businesses within the Art & Craft industry across the UK and other countries.

As Your Comms Group expanded into creative and handmade business sectors, they identified a clear operational gap. While their sales and account management teams were strong, they lacked the internal systems and dedicated resources required to execute large-scale outbound email marketing and structured lead generation campaigns for Art & Craft brands.

They weren’t looking for consultation.
They needed scalable execution.

Our objective was to build and manage a fully operational email marketing backend that would consistently generate qualified leads from Art & Craft businesses without interrupting their internal workflows.

Challenges for Art & Craft Industry

This project required strong backend infrastructure rather than creative storytelling.

1. No Outbound Engine

Your Comms Group had:

  • Sales representatives

  • Account managers

But no consistent outbound system to generate leads within the Art & Craft sector.

Building internally would require:

  • Hiring outreach specialists

  • Tool stack setup

  • Deliverability testing

  • Data sourcing and validation

They chose outsourced execution for faster scalability.

2. Deliverability Risk

Cold email campaigns fail when:

  • Domains are not warmed

  • Sending limits are exceeded

  • DNS records are misconfigured

  • Lists are poorly targeted

Protecting domain reputation was essential for long-term scalability.

3. Data Relevance

Sending emails is simple.
Reaching the right creative business owners is not.

Data needed to be:

  • Industry-specific

  • Owner/founder-level targeted

  • Verified and updated

  • Categorised before outreach

  • Precision targeting ensured better engagement.

Art & Craft

We built a structured outbound email marketing backend designed to independently generate and qualify Art & Craft leads.

Step 1: Team Deployment

A 12-member team was structured across:

  • Data research & mining

  • Email infrastructure & warm-up

  • Campaign execution

  • Performance tracking

Each role operated independently to maintain quality and accountability.

Step 2: Lead Mining & Verification

We used industry research workflows and tools such as Snov.io for sourcing.

Initial focus:

  • Handmade product brands

  • Craft suppliers

  • Art studios and workshops

  • Online craft store owners

All leads were:

  • Verified

  • Cleaned

  • Categorised before campaign launch

Step 3: Email Infrastructure & Warm-Up

We implemented a multi-domain strategy:

  • 8–10 sending domains

  • 2–4 email accounts per domain

  • Gradual warm-up over 4–6 weeks

Key actions:

  • DNS configuration

  • SPF, DKIM, DMARC setup

  • Controlled sending increases

  • Ongoing monitoring

This ensured:

  • Strong inbox placement

  • Domain health protection

  • Scalable outreach

Step 4: Campaign Execution

Campaigns focused on:

  • Personalised outreach

  • Creative industry-specific messaging

  • Soft call-to-action

  • Value-driven communication

Leads were categorised by:

  • Opens

  • Clicks

  • Replies

Only engaged prospects were forwarded to sales.

Step 5: Sales Handover Workflow

The logic was simple:

  • Open + click → flagged

  • Direct reply → prioritised

  • Sales contacted only warm leads

No cold calling from raw lists.
No wasted sales time.
