How often should I email my list?

For welcome series: 5–7 emails over 14 days is standard. For newsletters: 1–3 per week for most audiences. For promotional campaigns: max 3 emails per promotion (announce, reminder, last chance). More than this for non-engaged users causes unsubscribes and spam complaints.

What email platform works best for these sequences?

Klaviyo is the industry standard for e-commerce sequences with behaviour-based splits. Mailchimp is easier for beginners. ConvertKit is excellent for content creators and personal brands. ActiveCampaign is strongest for complex B2B automation.

How do I improve my email deliverability?

Authenticate your domain (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Warm up new sending domains gradually. Clean your list regularly (remove 6-month non-openers). Never buy or scrape email lists. Keep spam complaint rate below 0.1%.

Should I use HTML templates or plain text?

Test both for your audience. B2C and e-commerce: designed HTML templates with product images typically outperform. B2B and newsletters: plain text or minimal-design emails often outperform because they feel more personal and load reliably on all clients.

💡 Pro Tips

The first email in a welcome series has the highest open rate of any email you'll ever send — make it deliver immediate value

Segment your list by behaviour, not demographics — what someone clicked tells you more than where they live

Every email should have one goal and one CTA — multiple CTAs reduce clicks on all of them

Plain text emails often outperform designed templates for relationship-building sequences — test both

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Starting the welcome series with company history — nobody cares yet; lead with value

Sending the same frequency to engaged and unengaged subscribers — this burns your engaged list and annoys everyone else

CTAs that say 'Click here' — tell them exactly what happens when they click

Not A/B testing subject lines — it's the highest-ROI email optimisation available
