Hey! David there from Send Good Emails,

Itโ€™s been a minute since my last email, but to the surprise of no one, managing email for an 8-figure SaaS company and raising a 3-year-old toddler keeps your daysโ€ฆ interesting.

Apologies for the radio silence. Iโ€™ve got some exciting updates and insights that I think youโ€™ll love.

Letโ€™s get to it!

Project Updates:

Database Milestone

Weโ€™ve hit 300 mapped emails from 70 different companies. It might sound like a small thing, but for a side project like this, itโ€™s a big deal.

Latest Additions

These are some of the companies that were added to our lineup:

  • Perplexity (SaaS) (Spoiler: This is a very good welcome sequenceโ€”it got me all excited.)

  • Anthropic (SaaS)

  • Notion (SaaS)

  • The Perfect Loaf (Media)

  • Outreach (SaaS)

  • RightMessage (SaaS)

You might notice a bit of a personal interest showing thereโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜… Iโ€™ll try to mix it up a bit more in the future.

Quick reminder: You can always reach out if thereโ€™s a specific company youโ€™d like me to explore!

New Category: Launch Emails

Iโ€™ve also started adding launch emails to the mix. Even though these arenโ€™t typically part of a sequence, they pack a punch because companies tend to put their โ€œmeat and potatoesโ€ in them.

Make sure to check out the launch email examples from Notion and Anthropicโ€”theyโ€™re pretty solid.

Insights:

With the database reaching a reasonable size, Iโ€™ve begun experimenting with the numbers to uncover some patterns and trends. Hereโ€™s the first one:

The Most Common eCommerce Welcome Email Sequence Structure

What I found:

  • Average number of emails sent: 3

  • Timeframe: Over 4 days

  • Discount or Offer Present: 83% of brands do it

The most common welcome offers?

  • 10% Off Deal: Nearly 38% of brands use this to entice new customers

  • 15% and 20% Discounts: Each offered by around 14% of brands do one of these

  • Free Gift

If youโ€™re looking to optimize your welcome sequences, these stats could give you a great starting point.

Until Next Timeโ€ฆ

Thatโ€™s it for this round! Thanks for reading, and I hope you found some value in these updates and insights.

Cheers,
David โœŒ๏ธ
