Sample One: General Welcome Sequence
Below is a sample general welcome sequence I created for a previous blog for new email subscribers.
Buyer persona: 35-year-old newly working mothers that wanted easy-to-follow health tips for themselves.
They were married, had at most 3 kids, and were busy. They were also the primary caregivers anytime someone in the family was sick so it was important for them to make healthy choices.
The mothers worked full-time jobs outside of the home and were away from their families while working.
These moms subscribed to receive straight-to-the-point health tips that were empathetic, reliable, and honest.
Goal: Obtain resource library clients
Stage of the buyer’s journey: problem aware

Knowledge, planning, and action kill the overwhelm of change.
Every mother needs guidance and support with motherhood, health, and empowering activities like DIY projects. Your health is key, but often neglected because you’re being pulled in so many directions.
Once you start this lifestyle change of receiving support in these areas of your life it’s like a weight is lifted. Mom life is hard, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Been there, here’s some extra bonding tips
Email body:
How’s it going so far? Are you sneaking in some rest? Are you tired of being asked that? LOL.
You may be feeling the struggle of wanting to get as much out of maternity leave as possible knowing you have to return to work.
It’s easy to get so caught up in it that you almost completely neglect self-care but you don’t have to. Tackle the mindset of bonding quality over quantity and understand that quality must include your quality of life. Say that 3 times fast!
That was a lot when you’re low on sleep. In other words, take care of yourself to be more present. Know how to individualize your self-care during this time because it looks different for everyone.
In the guide, you have advice on how to sprinkle in intentional self-care throughout your maternity leave. It’s not selfish. It’s a necessity and you deserve every bit of it.
It helps you to refresh and be a better mom and person. Your guide includes 20 self-care tips to work through.

Silly bonding is effective. Try this one.
Email body:
Have you made up any silly mommy songs yet? Sometimes you just have to do what works. Babies love the sound of mama’s voice. They don’t care if we’re off-key or not rhyming. Sometimes it’s the connection and often times a nice distraction, but when it works, you’re golden!
I’m not going to keep you, I know you’re busy bonding. I just wanted to pop in quickly and give you another tip.
Below is a template you can use to keep record of any song you make up to comfort your baby. My son still recognized certain songs well after a year. During rough postpartum times those songs may be your secret weapon to make you smile.
