The emails that make money

The automated flows most programmes build first: welcome, onboarding, cart reminders, win-back and transactional messages.

What you will be able to do

  • List the flows worth building first
  • Define the trigger, goal and exit for each
  • Keep flows accurate over time

Welcome

The most-read message you will send. Confirm, set expectations and give one next step.

Onboarding and education

A short series that helps new customers succeed. Each message has one purpose.

Cart or booking reminders

A clear reminder with what they left and an easy way back.

Win-back

A single honest question to quiet subscribers, then removal of non-responders to protect reputation.

Transactional

Receipts and resets on a separate stream, plain and fast.

Maintain

Review each flow after product or site changes, stop sending when the goal is met and keep addresses verified.

Your output: checklist

  • ☐ Write the trigger, goal and exit for the welcome flow
  • ☐ Draft the first message of each flow
  • ☐ Set a review date for every flow
  • ☐ Separate transactional sending from marketing
