Give your new subscriber a warm welcome!
By Zandra Preston | zandra.preston@ungapped.com
Did you know that the welcome-email that’s automatically sent to the new subscriber after s/he has confirmed their email address is one of the most read transactional emails? Don’t miss this opportunity, and deliver some value to your new subscriber!
Here are some tips:
- Say Thank you!
This subscriber has shown an interest in your company and taken the time to sign up for your newsletter. Why not give something back?
Besides a heartfelt “Thank you” you can for example insert a code to a gift they can pick up in your shop, offer free delivery in your webshop, a free download of a useful book/report etc. - Insert an obvious Call to action
It could be a link to your webshop or a Sign in-button. Make sure the CTA stands out and can’t be missed!
(Tip: Make the button BIG and with a color that stands out.) - Ask the subscriber to add your email address to their address book
If the subscriber whitelists you it means your messages will be more likely to reach their inbox. - Encourage the subscriber to complete their profile
- Say Thank you!
- Include links to all your social channels
Your web address, blog, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus, Linkedin etc. - Keep it short…
Short, informative and one big CTA – that’s the spirit!
