Email Marketing Funnel Design

Thousands of small Indian businesses, coaching institutes, course sellers, boutique studios, are sitting on email lists they spent years building and use roughly once a month for a discount blast. The list opens at eleven percent, almost nobody clicks, and the owner concludes that email is dead. What is actually dead is the absence of a system: nothing greets a new subscriber, nothing follows the person who reached the payment page and left, and nobody ever writes to the subscribers who have gone quiet.

The intern designs the funnel that should exist for Sanchay Skills, a fictional spoken-English and interview-prep academy in Nagpur selling a ₹2,499 course. The work covers a five-stage lifecycle map drawn in canva, twenty-two fully written emails in google-docs with three subject-line variants each, a trigger and timing logic sheet plus a segmentation schema in google-sheets, a revenue forecast model with three scenarios, a swipe-file teardown of fifteen real brand emails, and a notion handover board the founder's associate can work through step by step.

Completing the project teaches the intern lifecycle marketing the way retention teams actually practise it: mapping states and triggers before writing a single line, writing copy that carries one job per email, testing subject lines against a hypothesis rather than a hunch, and defending a revenue number with funnel arithmetic. Email and CRM roles are among the easiest marketing jobs for a fresher to enter and among the hardest to fake, and a repository containing a working funnel design answers the only question that matters in an interview: can you build something a business would switch on tomorrow.
