The Trade-off

One of the highest-ROI marketing channels available with $42 returned per $1 spent on average, but requires strong copywriting, technical setup of automation triggers, and ongoing optimization of sequences that can take months to perfect.

The Strategy

Email drip sequences are automated series of emails sent to users based on time intervals or behavioral triggers. Unlike newsletters (which are broadcast to everyone), drip sequences are personalized journeys that guide each user from signup to activation to conversion based on their specific actions and inactions within your product.
