First Impressions & Welcome Emails

Welcome emails are sent to new subscribers to thank them for subscribing and to provide an introduction to your company. This is your opportunity to make a good first impression. Don’t waste it!
According to Klaviyo, welcome email automations earn 4x the click rate and 23x the conversion rate of a standard email marketing campaign. Welcome emails have a great ROI and have become a best practice for any email marketing strategy.
Tip: Automated email can be used to create an entire welcome series drip marketing campaign that fully introduces your company and encourages new subscribers to take action. MailChimp reported, on average, sending a series of welcome emails yields an average of 51% more revenue than a single welcome email.
Content that Connects
Email marketing is a cost-effective and efficient way to build a loyal customer base. More than 300+ billion emails are sent and received each day, so it’s important to provide valuable content to your audience.

The answer will depend on your audience and company offerings. Target audience research can help you form a solid strategy to make sure you are sending the right message. The more you know about your audience, the more specific your messaging can be. The more specific the message, the more likely recipients will be to open and read the emails you send.
