emails

A welcome sequence typically runs 5-7 emails over 12-14 days: deliver the promised value immediately, then a quick win, your story, social proof, objection handling, a feature highlight, and finally a conversion ask. Each email gets one primary CTA and 1-2 day spacing early on.

Lead nurture sequences work best at 6-8 emails over 2-3 weeks. Start by delivering the lead magnet, expand on the topic, deep-dive the problem, present your solution framework, share a case study, differentiate, handle objections, and close with a direct offer.

Send the first email immediately after the trigger, space early sequence emails 1-2 days apart, nurture emails 2-4 days apart, and long-term emails weekly or bi-weekly. B2B senders should avoid weekends and send at the recipient's local time.

Diagnose sender reputation, list hygiene, subject line quality, and sending frequency before blaming copy alone. Run a re-engagement sequence to clean inactive subscribers, then test subject line patterns like questions, how-tos, and numbers at 40-60 characters.

Trigger a re-engagement sequence after 30-60 days of subscriber inactivity. Use 3-4 emails over two weeks: a genuine check-in, a value reminder, an incentive, and a final last-chance email, then remove non-responders to protect deliverability.

Email supports onboarding but cannot replace in-app activation flows, checklists, or product tours. For users who sign up but never complete setup, coordinate email nudges with in-app onboarding rather than relying on email alone.
