Email Onboarding Sequence Process

Email Onboarding Sequence Process has been designed as an aid for you to develop a professional email campaign, to familiarizes your customers with specific features of your product/service.

A successful email onboarding campaign can increase customer lifetime value, reduce churn and turn new users into loyal, paying customers.

Use this Email Onboarding Sequence Process to develop an effective email onboarding campaign, and reap the benefits that come by doing so.

As you work through this Email Onboarding Sequence Process, you will be presented with form fields for which you are required to populate with your own specific data.

Process Street provides more information on how to use each form field in the ‘Record Checklist Details’ task.

You will also be presented with stop tasks ensuring task order, and our conditional logic feature used to create a dynamic process, catering to your specific needs.

Finally, our dynamic due date feature has been used to enforce task due dates, making sure essential steps are completed in good time.

As a manager, you will begin the process. You can provide an overview of how you would like the campaign to be built by a given team member. You can then delegate the tasks of writing the email campaign to the relevant team members using Process Street’s role assignment feature.

Once the email campaign has been written, it is up to the manager to then provide approval. The relevant employee will not be able to complete this process until approval has been obtained and implemented.

In this Email Onboarding Sequence Process, you will be presented with the following form fields, which you are required to populate with your own specific data. More information is provided for each form field via linkage to our help pages:

• Subtasks 
• Dropdown
• Short text 
• Date
• Email widget 
• Entering email address 
• Website 
• Dynamic due date 
• File upload 
• Long text
• Multiple choice 
• Role assignment

To begin the Email Onboarding Sequence Process, enter the required details into the form fields below.

This is a stop task, which means you cannot progress in this Email Onboarding Sequence Process until the required form fields are complete.

In this next section, you can assign tasks to a specific user using our role assignment form fields below. 

This Email Onboarding Sequence Process has been designed to split the task of completing a training sequence campaign into sections.

By defining a target audience for your campaign, you can develop an effective marketing communicating strategy.

“Users try out a lot of apps but decide which ones they want to stop using within the first 3-7 days. The key to success is to get users hooked during that critical first 3-7 day period.” – Ankit Jain, Head of Search and Discovery, Google Play

An email onboarding campaign begins with finding the ”need”. What is it that your customer needs from your product/service?

It is this ”need” that separates an email training campaign from an email onboarding campaign. That is, email training is a more general campaign, whereas email onboarding has the specific goal of delivering that specific need to a customer.

As Ankit Jan states above, the key to success is to get the users hooked. Did you know that 40-60% of consumers will use your product or service once and never return?

As disheartening as this statistic is, educating your customer on how to use your service or product to deliver on their ”need” is one way you can obtain returning customers.

With an effective email onboarding campaign, you can gain a 500% increase in customer lifetime value.

But, for you to attain such benefits, your email onboarding sequence needs to be effective.

Think about it.

According to Email Statistics Report, 2014-1018, more than 269 billion business and consumer emails were sent and received every day in 2017.

How do you cut through this clutter and make your emails stand out?

What will deter your customers from stockpiling your campaign emails in the trash can?

It is possible.

Take Upscope for example. Upscope is a screen-sharing tool that integrates with popular live chat applications such as Intercom. Upscope developed an email onboarding sequence and claimed to have a 100% open rate.

Upscope cut right through the clutter.

A successful email onboarding campaign can increase customer lifetime value, reduce churn and turn new users into loyal, paying customers.

The purpose of an onboarding sequence is to help the subscriber reach a certain point of value with your service. It’s similar to the training sequence but has a very specific end goal.

For example, a software product that helps users schedule social media posts knows that the product’s value isn’t realized until the user actually schedules a post. So the onboarding sequence walks the user through the steps to schedule a post.

To get this right, you must first figure out your user’s desired outcome. What problem are they trying to solve? Once you know the answer to that, you just have to lead them to it.

Watch the below video for more information on how to write an effective onboarding email sequence.

Each stage in this process will follow the same format as this first message. 

A/B testing, also known as split testing, allows you to decipher the best campaign options. In A/B testing you can send two variants of an email to an equal percentage of your mailing list. Observing matrices such as ‘open rate’ and ‘click-through rate’ will then enable you to determine the most effective variant.
