A Little Welcome Email Glow-Up

Simple ways to make your welcome flow feel more like a warm hug than a form letter.

Your welcome email is your first impression—and no pressure, but it sets the tone for everything that follows.

And yet... most welcome emails feel like someone handed you a brochure and walked away.

They’re polite. Informative. Maybe even nicely designed. But warm? Personal? Memorable? Not so much.

Why the Welcome Email Matters (Even More Than You Think)

Welcome emails consistently have the highest open and click rates of any email you’ll send. People want to hear from you at this moment.

So instead of checking a box, what if your welcome email:

• Sounded like a real person wrote it?

• Helped people feel excited they signed up?

• Made it easy to take the next step?

It doesn’t need to be fancy. It just needs to feel like you.
