Why the welcome email matters
It arrives at the attention peak: the subscriber just asked to hear from you, and no later email will be as expected or as read. What it teaches, about tone, value, and frequency, sets how the rest of the list relationship goes.
What a welcome series covers
- The promised incentive, delivered without hunting
- What the brand is and why it exists
- Bestsellers and where to start
- Expectations: what you’ll send and how often
Questions
One welcome email or a series?
A short series spreads the story without cramming: incentive first, brand second, products third. Each email keeps one job.
When should the first sale push happen?
The incentive email is already the push; let it work. Aggressive discounting stacked through the whole series teaches the subscriber to never buy without one.
