Thumbnail King Email Automation

I’m replacing costly Google Ads with a fully-engineered, automated email marketing system for https://www.thumbnailking.com. The goal is to reach new potential customers sourced through a lead-finding tool or other public business data, focusing on: • Businesses that sell products or services online • Marketing agencies and social media managers Scope I must be able to upload fresh contacts, build a campaign, hit Send, or schedule multi-step sequences that run hands-free—complete with AI-driven personalisation and follow-ups. Every send has to land in the inbox, not spam, so please design around proper SPF, DKIM, DMARC, dedicated IP warm-up, bounce handling, and reputation monitoring. Infrastructure can live on platforms such as Amazon SES, Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, Klaviyo, or a comparable stack—whatever best meets deliverability and cost goals—but I expect total transparency on monthly fees and any sending limits. Deliverables • Production-ready email platform (dashboard + automation workflows) • List enrichment or API linkage to my chosen lead-finding tool • Template library with dynamic fields and AI personalisation logic • Conversion tracking tied to ThumbnailKing.com (UTM, webhook, or pixel) • Reporting on opens, clicks, replies, and attributed sales • Documentation and a short hand-off call so I can manage campaigns solo Acceptance Criteria 1. Test send to 1,000 cold contacts achieves at least 85 % inbox placement and <2 % bounce/complaint rate. 2. Authentication passes SPF, DKIM, and DMARC at p=none or stronger. 3. Dashboard shows real-time metrics and lets me duplicate or pause sequences without developer help. If you have the technical depth to craft, test, and prove this system, I’m ready to start right away—just outline your proposed stack, timeline, and any warm-up steps you’ll need.
