What a great email sequence looks like

The easiest way to write a great email sequence is to learn from how the best companies do it.

I'm a long-time admirer of Casper. So a couple months ago, I signed up to their email list and monitored every email they sent :

Casper Email Teardown

What stood out:

  • Every email has a clear purpose
  • One idea per email.
  • One CTA per email
  • None of the emails are text heavy
  • Consistent tone, aesthetics, and messaging.
  • They write emails in pairs. Every email has a follow-up!
  • The email journey doesn't stop at purchase

That's the TLDR. I've put together a full teardown going in-depth on every email. Hopefully it acts as some inspiration for your own email sequences :)

If you're want a second opinion on your own email journey, feel free to comment. Happy to help. Been working in email for a longer than I can remember.

    Thank you for this. Do you have any resources for B2B email sequences and how the principles differ?

    Don't expect your emails to stay out of the spam folder for long. Drip email is obsolete.
