Hey! David there from Send Good Emails,
Itโs 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 daysโฆ interesting.
Apologies for the radio silence. Iโve got some exciting updates and insights that I think youโll love.
Letโs get to it!
Project Updates:
Database Milestone
Weโve hit 300 mapped emails from 70 different companies. It might sound like a small thing, but for a side project like this, itโs 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 sequenceโit 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 thereโฆ ๐ Iโll try to mix it up a bit more in the future.
Quick reminder: You can always reach out if thereโs a specific company youโd like me to explore!
New Category: Launch Emails
Iโve also started adding launch emails to the mix. Even though these arenโt typically part of a sequence, they pack a punch because companies tend to put their โmeat and potatoesโ in them.
Make sure to check out the launch email examples from Notion and Anthropicโtheyโre pretty solid.
Insights:
With the database reaching a reasonable size, Iโve begun experimenting with the numbers to uncover some patterns and trends. Hereโs 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 youโre looking to optimize your welcome sequences, these stats could give you a great starting point.
