Welcome series

Make the first email earn the first order.

Someone just raised their hand. The welcome series is your one shot to introduce the brand, answer the quiet objection, and turn a fresh signup into a first purchase - before the interest cools.

What it is

Welcome series

A welcome series is the automated set of emails a new subscriber gets after they join your list. It is the highest-intent moment you will ever have with that person, and most stores waste it on a single coupon. Our team builds the full sequence in your brand voice and runs it in your Klaviyo: who you are, why you are different, the products to start with, and the nudge that turns curiosity into a first order. You approve every email, we ship.

When it triggers

Fires the moment someone subscribes - a popup signup, a checkout opt-in, or a footer form. The first email should land within minutes, while they still remember why they signed up.

What a strong welcome series does

1

Lead with the brand, not the discount

Open on what makes you worth buying from - the story, the standards, the thing competitors cannot copy. A coupon can come later. A reason to care has to come first.

2

Set expectations early

Tell new subscribers what they will get and how often. People who know what is coming stay subscribed and keep opening, which protects the rest of your sends.

3

Point to a clear first step

Bestsellers, a starter set, or the one product new customers love most. Take the guesswork out of the first purchase instead of dropping them on the homepage.

4

Build to one offer, then stop

Stack value across the early emails and make the incentive a single, time-bound nudge near the end. The series should feel like an introduction, not a fire sale.

A note from us

We started Lumen because every serum we tried did nothing or left us greasy, so we built the one we wanted: three weights of hyaluronic acid, no fragrance, no filler. You'll feel the difference by week two.

WHY LUMEN

Hydration that actually lasts.

Most serums sit on top and evaporate by lunch. Ours layers three sizes of hyaluronic acid so water gets pulled deep and stays there. Every drop earns its place.

FAQ

Questions about this flow.

How many emails should a welcome series have?

Most stores do well with three to five. Our team builds the full sequence and tailors it to your brand - a tight three or a longer arc that earns the first order over a week. You approve the plan before anything goes live in your Klaviyo.

Do I have to offer a discount to new subscribers?

No. Plenty of brands win on story and product alone, and our team writes a version that leads with value, not a coupon. If you do want an incentive, we build it in as a single, time-bound nudge rather than the whole point of the series.

Will it match my brand voice or read like a template?

Our team studies your store first - your copy, your products, the way you already talk to customers - and writes in that voice. You review every line and we revise anything you want before it goes live in your Klaviyo. Nothing ships without your approval.
