Email marketing automation: 3 workflows that work
Three essential sequences to boost conversions and retention without manual work.
Email automation isn’t for sending more messages, it’s for sending the right ones. These three workflows are enough for 90% of businesses.
1) Welcome series (3-5 emails)
Goal: turn a contact into a relationship. Suggested content:
- who you are and what you do
- short case study
- CTA to a resource or a call
2) Abandonment (cart or form)
Goal: recover warm intent. Rules:
- first follow-up after 2 hours
- second after 24 hours
- third with a light incentive
3) Post-purchase and retention
Goal: increase customer value. Examples:
- usage guide or onboarding
- targeted upsell after 7 days
- request for feedback or a review
