When someone signs up for your mailing list, do you send them a welcome email? Unfortunately, many businesses fail to take advantage of this momentum. By providing you with their address and allowing you to communicate with them, customers are giving you something extremely valuable—access to their inbox. You should seize this opportunity to strengthen your relationship with them.
What is a welcome email, exactly?
A welcome email is an automated message that is sent as soon as someone subscribes to your mailing list. It should begin by thanking the subscriber for allowing you to send them email communications. You may also want to set expectations, such as describing the type of content you will be sending them (informative, promotional, etc.) and how often, for instance. If your business uses discount coupons, you might want to include one with your welcome message—it will stimulate the subscriber’s purchase experience with your company. In short, by signing up for your mailing list, subscribers are expressing their interest in your business, so it’s up to you to make the best of this opportunity!
