It's a bad habit, but I love to run sequences. Check out these open rates. Email 1: 72% Email 2: 50% Email 3: 71% Email 4: 90% Typically, if the content in email 1 is bad, email 2 heads to trash or SPAM - and that learning cascades for each email in the sequence. Not here. The content is so good, engagement continues. Sender is the same for each email. Worth noting, email 2, the worst email open rate. For some, that would be consider gold.
That's solid. How are you structuring your subject lines?
No hard and fast rule.
Email 1 of a sequence is typically relevant to the individual and their career
Email 2. I try and make this relevant to their role and the product
Email 3. How the product solves a problem in their current role
Email 4. Case study
Email 5. Product
As I experiment more
open rates are getting lower on email 1. 55%
open rates increase through the sequences up to 75% (however, the volume per sequence is slightly lower with a 2% to 3% unsubscribe rate for sequence 1 to 3)
reduced the duration between each sequence. Was 5 working days. Now 3.
Engagement kicks in at sequence 3.
I appreciate the insight!
