First email a new subscriber sees.
Most brands send a discount. Wrong move.
A good welcome flow:
→ Email 1: Build trust, not urgency
→ Email 2: Answer the real question they have
→ Email 3: THEN offer the discount
Done right: 60%+ open rate, $20K-$40K annual revenue from a single flow.
ABANDONED CART FLOW
The easiest money you're leaving on the table.
Structure that works:
→ Email 1 (1 hour): "You left something behind"
→ Email 2 (24 hours): Address the objection (price? shipping? trust?)
→ Email 3 (48 hours): Last chance, remove the friction
Most brands send all three at once. That's why they fail.
Recovery rate: 15-30% of abandoned carts = $40K-$80K/year for a $2M brand.
BROWSE ABANDONMENT
The most underused flow with the highest ROI.
Someone spent 3+ minutes looking at a product. They're interested.
Send them one email within 2 hours reminding them what they saw. No discount needed yet. Just "here's what you were looking at."
Conversion rate on browse abandonment: 5-8% (vs 2-3% for random campaigns).
POST-PURCHASE FLOW
Drives the second purchase. Most brands ignore it.
Structure:
→ Email 1 (day 0): Confirm order, build excitement
→ Email 2 (day 3): Care instructions, how to use
→ Email 3 (day 7-14): Related products (cross-sell)
→ Email 4 (day 30): Reorder prompt (subscription/repeat)
A segmented post-purchase flow = 25-35% of repeat customers within 60 days.
WINBACK FLOW
For subscribers who haven't opened an email in 90+ days.
Most brands pause these. Wrong.
Send one last email: "We miss you." Genuine, not desperate.
Two outcomes:
→ They re-engage (you keep them)
→ They unsubscribe (cleans your list, protects deliverability)
Win-win. And recovers 5-10% of "dead" subscribers.
Which of these 5 do you have set up?
Most brands have 1-2. The gap between 1 and 5 is $100K+ annually.

📧 YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION CAN TURN A NEW SUBSCRIBER INTO A CUSTOMER! 🚀
A welcome email is more than a simple greeting. It's an opportunity to introduce your brand, showcase your products, build trust, and encourage that first purchase.
Here's a welcome email flow design created with Klaviyo for e-commerce brands.
✨ What makes a strong welcome flow?
✅ Attractive, branded email designs
✅ Welcome discount to encourage first purchases
✅ Product recommendations to guide customers
✅ Customer reviews and social proof to build trust
✅ Clear CTAs that encourage shoppers to take action
The goal is simple: turn new subscribers into first-time buyers and create customers who keep coming back. 💰

The valuable part of a quiz funnel is not the quiz alone. It is the journey after the answer.
For this Kajabi project, I connected quiz-led capture, reusable email templates, audience segmentation, and follow-up so the coaching brand could adapt one campaign structure across multiple offers.
Before designing the emails, define:
the audience branches;
the next action for each branch;
the tag or trigger that starts the right sequence; and
the point where a lead should move from education to an offer.
