With all the hype surrounding social media platforms like Tik Tok in recent years, it’s easy to forget that email remains the most potent channel for driving business today. Email marketing has a median ROI of 122%. It consistently and overwhelmingly beats out other marketing formats like social media, direct mail, and paid search. To put that in perspective, this is more than four times higher than any of those other marketing formats.

One of the types of emails with the highest engagement and open rates is the welcome email. In this episode, Samar Owais, an Email Strategist and Conversion Copywriter, reveals her 22-email sales-generating welcome series for eCommerce brands. I was just as shocked as you are to find out her best-performing welcome email series is 22 emails long. But her campaign has generated over $150k for an eCommerce brand that she worked with.

In episode 105, you'll learn:
  1.  The common email marketing mistakes eCommerce brands make that’s costing them conversions and sales
  2.  The email sequence Samar created for Copyhackers.com
  3. How to design a cart abandonment email series that’s not creepy
