Do you have a welcome email for your new subscribers? 🤔
So you’ve got your website and email marketing platform set up, now it’s time to think about creating an automated welcome email for your subscribers! 📧
Welcome emails are an incredibly important tool for creating a pathway of communication between you (and your business) and a potential customer! ↔️
Not sending a welcome email to new subscribers can affect your customer conversion rate and damage the leads you have only just gained 😵💫
Every welcome email should engage your new subscriber with personalisation, value, a strong call to action and opportunities for them to connect with you on social media! Additionally, having a subject line that grabs their attention is a key element to an optimal welcome email 👀
