Templates save time and create a consistent image
www.sparkpage.com
Templates, used wisely, frees you up to make sure that users are getting the best information, the best experience and are converting.
It helps your user to focus on what you want them to do next,
rather than trying to figure out why the design is different from
message to message

We are huge fans of templates and encourage our clients to take
advantage of everything templates have to offer.

The verdict…Leveraging templates keeps your users engaged and helps you to focus on getting more onboarded users –rather than focusing on the design of each message.
It’s all about how your users will engage with
your service.

The process of creating messages that will consistently work is quite another.
Getting the process down is key to growing and sustaining an
active user base that will move you above the noise.

users every time.

Whether it’s an email, SMS or something else, the welcome message if your first chance to make a lasting
impression. Don’t make it hard on your users to understand what you’re all about now – you have time
to do that in the onboarding process.
1 The welcome messageOne Call to Action
www.sparkpage.com
Motivation means that you’ve considered why users want to download and, well use, your service. Helping
to articulate the why is imperative in onboarding messages. It’s the same with removing barriers.
Remember, you are straining to get through all of the noise. Provide concise examples of how to use your
service; it goes a long way to engaged users.
2 Motivation and removing barriersHelping users to engage

Timing sometimes means frequency of messages. It can also mean when you send a message based on an
action a user may take. That’s where A/B testing is to critical to success. Same with adding value. These messages should show your worth and why users
should continue with your service.
3 Timing and valueGet the right messages to show your worth
www.sparkpage.com
So many marketers are afraid to ask for business. Simply put, you must do it – but HOW you do will help
you to be successful or not. Using existing data on a user can be a strong pull and helps to reinforce your
connection. Time crunches are also helpful because it creates a sense of urgency.
4 The ask messageYou never know until you ask

Sometimes users just aren’t ready for your service or product. And that’s okay. Because you can still use
your data from their trial period to get the conversation going again. While the number of converting customers won’t be huge, it’s higher than what it would have been
if you hadn’t tried.
