Email Campaigns
Welcome sequences, launch campaigns, re-engagement flows, and segmentation strategy.
Purpose
Email is the highest-ROI marketing channel for most businesses. This skill creates structured email sequences with clear goals, not one-off blasts.
Workflow
Step 1: Gather Context
- •Campaign type: welcome, launch, nurture, re-engagement, abandoned cart, winback
- •Product/offer being promoted
- •Audience segment
- •Current list size and engagement
- •Email platform (for formatting constraints)
Step 2: Sequence Design
- •Define the campaign goal (sale, engagement, activation)
- •Map the sequence: number of emails, timing, triggers
- •For each email: subject line, preview text, body, CTA
- •Segment logic: who gets what and when
Step 3: Write Emails
Each email follows:
- •Subject line: Under 50 chars, curiosity or benefit-driven
- •Preview text: Complements (doesn't repeat) the subject
- •Opening line: Personal, relevant, no throat-clearing
- •Body: One idea per email, conversational tone
- •CTA: Single, clear action
- •P.S.: Optional — use for urgency or secondary offer
Step 4: Segmentation Recommendations
- •New vs. returning customers
- •Engaged vs. cold subscribers
- •Purchase history segments
- •Behavioral triggers (opened, clicked, visited)

Constraints
