With all the new social media tools, many business owners seem to forget that email is still one of the most prominent channels to drive revenue today. Because emails still remain a universal and flexible messaging medium. It is simple and direct in the approach with continual adaptation among an ever-changing market. In the garden of social networks, emails remain more transcendent than ever.

So, you may be surprised to know that many prospects already have the intention to buy from the first visit, they just need the right kind of nurturing. Which is why a carefully planned pre-purchase email series is essential to take them through the funnel and convert them into new customers. Even with visitors who don’t have buying intentions yet, a good pre-purchase email can leave a good lasting impression on your company.

This article will show you the secret to unlocking the ‘sign up momentum’ of a new subscriber and make the best out of the critical first emails. The best pre-purchase email templates will introduce your prospects to your business and products in an effective way to capitalize on their interest. And all you have to do is put your company’s name into the templates.

Pre-purchase email introduction

Most customers have some kinds of consideration before purchasing, with 92%of visitors not even ready to buy.

Classic marketing says that sales begin with awareness. And awareness begins even before the customer signs up with content marketing, social media, and advertising. After that, the next critical step is engagement - which your pre-purchase emails will serve for.

The goal of pre-purchase emails is to convince customers to make that first purchase. In order to do that, you need to nurture the potential buyers, teach them a bit about your products, and help them make the buying decisions more easily. This requires a solid strategy and a series of emails that can subsequently convince the consumers.

In short, your pre-purchase email series will be a set of emails that aim to nurture prospects and lead them through the funnel. Our email templates from the app AVADA Email Marketing can help you do that, and I will introduce you to them right away.
