What’s A Welcome Flow?

A Welcome Flow is the first point of contact between your brand and a new email subscriber subscriber. Once a website visitor opts-in to your email list through your website pop-up, the Welcome Flow introduces the lead to your brand & products.

# Of Emails: 5

What’s the goal of a Welcome Flow?
‍
To get non-purchasers to make their first purchase by introducing them to the brand & guiding them towards the product(s) they should purchase which:
‍
- Converts more new email subscribers into paying customers (which means more revenue!)
- Gets potential customers to make their first purchase faster (ie. the amount of time it takes someone to go from being aware of the brand to becoming a customer)
- Gets more revenue out of each lead you drive to your website (which means lower CPAs & more value from your website traffic)
- Generates a higher average order value (AOV) for first-time customers by introducing them to more products that they may be interested in
