Welcome emails, explained

The welcome email is the first thing a new subscriber gets, and the moment they are most interested in you. Here is what to send, and how to turn that attention into a first order.

Why it matters

A welcome email has the highest open and click rates of anything you will send, because the subscriber just raised their hand. That attention fades fast, so the welcome is where you make a first impression and set up the first purchase, while interest is at its peak.

What to include

  • A warm thank-you. Acknowledge the signup and make it feel human, not automated.
  • Who you are. A sentence or two on what your brand stands for gives the relationship a reason to continue.
  • Your best products. Show best-sellers with live product blocks so the price and image are always current.
  • A reason to buy now. A first-order incentive, if you offer one, turns a subscriber into a customer.

One email or a series?

A single welcome email works, but a shortwelcome seriesof two or three messages performs better. It gives you room to introduce your brand, share proof and products, and follow up with the ones who have not bought yet, all automatically.

Common questions

What is a welcome email?

A welcome email is the first message sent to someone right after they subscribe. It has the highest open rates of any email you send, because the subscriber just chose to hear from you.

Should it be one email or a series?

A single welcome email is good; a short welcome series is better. Two or three messages let you introduce your brand, share your best products, and guide the subscriber to a first order.

Should the welcome email include a discount?

Often yes. A first-order incentive is a proven way to convert a new subscriber into a first-time buyer, especially if you promised one at signup.
