Summary
Most email agencies spread out your subscriber onboarding emails to avoid "over-sending." I think that's backwards. In this episode, I break down the email and SMS strategy that actually drives retention for subscription brands. What we cover: • Why you should send more emails in the first few days, not fewer • The onboarding window most brands completely waste • How to turn your billing reminder into a retention tool • Why SMS reduces churn instead of causing it • The campaign paradox: skipping billing reminders but blasting daily promos • Building subscriber-specific offers and campaign strategies Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly doses just like this one: https://newsletter.thesubscriptiondoc.com
