For today, let’s talk about making sure our welcome series is for new email subscribers who are indeed in a purchase-intent mindset.

To do this, we need to check to see if they are a new subscriber AND customer, or just a new subscriber. After all, how many times have YOU signed up for emails during the checkout process? If you’re like me, tons.

This one is pretty simple but important nonetheless. After all, you don’t want to send someone a message all about reasons they should buy from you moments after they actually bought from you. Instead, these customers should feed into a post-purchase series — that’s a whole other topic :)

There are several ways to check the new subscriber’s status based on the email provider you’re using — although Omnisend is the best one. It can be a simple segment check within the automated workflow, or workflow rule itself. No matter how you perform the check, just make sure you have one and that you’re sending the welcome series only to new, non-purchase subscribers.

Tomorrow, we’ll look at how to use your initial welcome message to have subscribers self-segment so that you can deliver a more personalized welcome series.
