[greeting]
Hi Gene!

I’m Louise Belcher, CEO of Prioritizer. I’d like to personally thank you for signing up. Welcome aboard our journey towards smarter task management and happier productivity!

[explain mission / common goal; personally connect with the reader]
We started Prioritizer because we’ve always had trouble keeping a realistic to-do list that made sure important priorities got done. So much of your day escapes you because you end up doing reactive work that feels more urgent.

[lead into what you’d like the reader to do next]
Our mission is to help people keep on track with valuable goals. So I wanted to make sure you get the most out of your trial. [CTA] Check out our 5 top tips for success with Prioritizer.

[open door to support and feedback]
I’d love to hear whether you think Prioritizer helps fulfill your big goals or what we can do to improve. If you have any questions about getting started, I’m happy to help. Just reply to this email!

Let’s do great things together!
Louise Belcher

Free sample welcome

Companies, especially many SaaS businesses, offer free content, such as e-books, guides, and other resources in exchange for an email address. This is often your first point of contact with someone who’s just expressed interest in your product area.

It’s just as crucial to make a memorable first impression in this case and set any expectations for marketing emails to follow.

[greeting & gratitude]

  • Who invited the reader or created the account?
  • Who are you and why should the reader also sign up?
  • What’s next?
