Is email marketing dead? I certainly don't think so. Email marketing is responsible for generating about half of our company's revenue. Fortunately, my guest on today's podcast shares the same sentiment. In this episode, I'm talking to Xiaohui or better known as "X". He's an industry expert, who along with his team of email marketing specialists, are helping ecommerce businesses reap the benefits of an expertly crafted email sequence. And email sequences are at the heart of this episode. X identified the top 3 types that ecommerce entrepreneurs should be aware of. We've listed them below. 1. Abandon Cart Sequence Email 1 - a reminder about the abandoned shopping cart; sent somewhere between 15 minutes to a couple of hours after a cart is supposedly abandoned. Email 2 - encourages the person who abandoned the cart to return to it and complete the purchase with a discount incentive; sent 24 hours after the first email Email 3 - introduces the sense of urgency (cart/discount expiring soon!); sent 24 hours after the first email 2. Prospect Nurture Sequence This sequence is defined as a welcome sequence specifically for prospects. When done properly, it has proven to be very effective for generating additional email addresses. It propels the prospect forward in the email sequence and eventually results in revenue.
