Welcome Emails

“The 30- to 60-day period after opt-in is typically the most crucial in the email relationship.”

Loren McDonald

“60 percent of companies did not send a welcome message to new subscribers, and 30 percent failed to send any message at all within the 30 day study period.” Return Path (2009)
