”Transactional email is a method of customer communication in which automated, real-time messages are sent to users through email after a specific action has been performed – Jett Pendleton”

Receipts, invoices and payment confirmations are typically hard-coded and dry, offering very little in the way of great customer experience.

Yet, the open rate of transactional emails is indicated to be as high as 80-85%.

By open rate, I mean the percentage number of subscribers who open your email.

So let’s reiterate that percentage, 80-85%. What a large proportion of emails being opened.

Judging by this percentage, it is difficult to argue against the opinion, that, transactional emails present a massive opportunity for you to communicate with your customers.

You can use your transactional emails to build customer trust, increase customer engagement, increase brand recognition and to obtain additional purchases.

Coming back to that last point made, ‘transactional emails obtain additional purchases’, by considering the ‘Return on Investment’ (ROI), you can fully appreciate the extent of this claim. That is, transactional emails have 2-5 times higher (ROI) than most bulk mailing.

To summarize, the benefits of investing both time and effort in your transactional sequence cannot be disputed.

Sending transactional emails acts as a record and confirmation of a successful transaction. For another, it helps create an email-based relationship with the customer so they open your future messages.

Send a receipt, invoice or confirmation anytime someone makes a purchase, subscribes to a new list, or achieves a milestone (like activates a feature or gains website permission). You also use transactional emails to deliver requested content or otherwise direct the user back to the website.

It is time to write your first email for this transactional sequence campaign. 

Work through the form fields below to guide you through this process. 

The form fields have been designed to provide you with the option to conduct A/B testing.  

You have the options to add attachments to this first email or to add a relevant URL link. 

You are then presented with a dropdown form field, which represents a conditional logic step in this process. Selecting ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ will direct you to the relevant stage in this process. 

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.
