The Most Important Email
Do you know what is the most important email, you can send to your new subscriber?
It’s the welcome email.
No, it’s not the double opt-in email you get from some newsletters.
It’s the welcome email, that greets you after you subscribe.
Why is it the most important email?
It’s the most opened email and it’s the first email that your new subscriber will see.
Don’t believe me?
Here are a few stats from Invesp:
74% expect a welcome email
Open rate 50%
14% click rate

here's my obligatory reminder that you don't "own" your social following.
create an email list, start a @beehiiv newsletter, own your audience 🫶🏾
