Email Marketing Automation: From Lead Magnet to Lifetime Customer

Why email closes the SEO loop

SEO brings them in. Email brings them back. Without email, you're paying full price for traffic every time.

The 5 flows every business needs

1. Welcome (3 emails) — story, value, low-friction CTA
2. Browse / cart abandon (3 emails) — reminder, social proof, incentive
3. Post-purchase (4 emails) — confirmation, how-to, review request, cross-sell
4. Win-back (2 emails) — at 60 and 90 days inactive
5. VIP — top 10% by LTV — early access + perks

Deliverability essentials

• SPF + DKIM + DMARC set up correctly
• Warm new domains gradually
• Clean lists every 90 days
• Engagement segmentation (open/click in last 60d)

Open rates above 35% and CTR above 4% are the modern bar. Below that, fix list quality before content.
