1. Subject Line

Firstly, your email subject line needs to start the conversation with a customer. A good subject line can be the difference between readers opening (or ignoring) your email, so make sure it is engaging and clear.

Tempt your reader with a question or the offer of a free giveaway that you know they won’t be able to resist.

2. Begin By Saying Thank You

Now your visitor has subscribed to your email newsletter, make sure that you thank them for their interest.

Why not offer them an exclusive discount to get them started? Make sure you include a link to your shop or latest promotion so it’s just a case of them clicking the link.

3. Focus on Your Email Introduction

It is key that your introduction captures the reader’s attention without being too long or boring. With a welcome email, it can be a good idea to talk about your brand in your intro. Introduce who you are and what you do in a few short sentences. Ensure that this isn’t too sales-y otherwise you reader will just switch off. Maybe add a branded explainer video that is concise and doesn’t overwhelm your reader with too much information.

5. Plug Your Social Media

Don’t forget to mention your other social media channels and include links to them. Your customer is obviously already interested in your brand so give them more ways to stay informed via social media.

If possible, you could also include links to surveys or pages to collect more data or further personalise your email marketing efforts.

6. Include Enough CTAs In Your Email

Your first email is your first chance to seal the deal and build brand loyalty. So, make sure that you include CTAs (Call-To-Action) to ensure that your new subscribers make a purchase. Did you know that new leads are most engaged within the first 48 hours? So, take advantage of this and make sure you have links to promotions, new product or discounted services that your new customers can sign up to.
