What:
A Truly Welcoming Welcome Message
Who:
Sephora.com
Why we love it: We are always shocked how many marketers miss the boat with their Welcome messages. Some don’t even bother to send them, which is just a huge missed opportunity. Others send them, but do so in a desultory fashion, using plain text messaging with little more information than “You are on the list.” Not Sephora. Their Welcome message does what a Welcome message should – confirms the sign up, makes the subscriber feel delighted to have signed up and gets recipients shopping. And it does all this in a well-designed format that is similar to the regular messages Sephora sends.
What would make it better: Make it a series! Sephora has a lot to offer and beauty addicts love advice, reviews and more. Sephora could send a series of three to five messages highlighting different categories of product (skin, eyes, lips), different kinds of content (expert advice, how-tos, reviews) or different trends (bold lip color, new neutrals, dewy cheeks). Because makeup is time-sensitive and fashionable they would need to change the offerings up on a seasonal basis. But this strategy still allows them to create one set of messages to be used numerous times.
Bonus points:
A little personalization goes a long way. Adding first name here makes the email feel like a visit to a store where the clerk knows you.
