If you skim, read this

- Use a domain you control; authenticate sends (SPF/DKIM).
- Warm lists; clean bounces before big campaigns.
- One primary action per email—same discipline as SMS.

Key takeaway

If customers do not receive your email, the problem is often setup—not your subject line. Fix the plumbing once; then improve content with Pulse and Hub.

SMS gets attention on the phone in Kenya; **email** still carries statements, contracts, onboarding packs, and B2B updates. Many SMEs defer email because setup feels technical—DNS records, sender reputation, templates that break on mobile.

**That is enablement territory.** We help you get email-ready so marketing, finance, and customer success can focus on message and timing—not fighting spam folders.

### Branded sending domain

Send from `@yourcompany.com`, not a free generic address. Customers and inbox filters both treat this as **legitimate business mail**.

### Authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

These tell inbox providers your messages are authorized. Skipping them is the fastest way to land in spam—no matter how good your copy is.

### List hygiene and compliance

Confirmed opt-in where required, clear unsubscribe, bounce and complaint handling. Especially important if you sync CRM exports into campaigns.

### Template and mobile readability

One column, obvious CTA button, plain-language subject. Same behavioral ideas as SMS: **salience and one next step.**

### How this connects to Kilele

[Hub](https://kilelehub.com/hub) is adding email on its channel roadmap alongside SMS. [Pulse](https://kilelehub.com/pulse) helps you diagnose why people open but do not click or complete. Enablement is the **go-live layer** today—domain, deliverability basics, and handoff to your ESP or Hub when ready.

**You run the business; we help email actually arrive.**
