Imagine going into a shop for the first time and finding an open door with no one to welcome you.
You look around, peek inside and see many things but you are not too sure if itโs okay to browse through the aisles. Hesitant and confused, you decide to keep walkingโฆ
Next door you have another shop but this one is different: thereโs a friendly lady inside making eye contact with a slight smile. She welcomes you in, thereโs music playing and you even get some free samples. You feel at home.
Is your newsletter shop A or B?
Thatโs the experience you are giving your new subscribers.
Thatโs the first thing they receive from you: your welcome email.
Thatโs the first impression you are making and yet very often we neglect it, focusing on writing more and creating more.
