I’ve read (and re-read!) all the threads on this topic, but I’m still struggling.
I have one main list. My subscribe form offers a lead magnet. The link to the LM is sent in the first message of the welcome series.
I’d like to add several new lead magnets via different forms on landing pages. These subscribers should get a specific first welcome email with a link to the correct LM, then go through the same welcome series as the main list does. The LMs are different, but all related to the same topic which is why I want everyone to go through the same welcome series.
Option 1 is to create a flow split for every LM at the top of the main welcome flow. Deliver a unique first email, then all subsequent messages are the same. This results in an “ugly” wide flow, but it works. The only downside is, once subscribed a person can never subscribe for a new LM. Yes, I can send all new LMs to the list first (sneak peek), but people will stumble upon the new signup forms and try them (and get nothing)
Option 2 that I see recommended often is to create a new list for each LM so it gets it’s own welcome flow. That makes sense, but I see two issues. First, if someone subscribes to a new list with an alternate email, they’ll get my regular campaigns twice since I need to send them to multiple lists now, and they’ll also inflate my profile count. Second, all my segmentation logic generally starts by testing if “is in [main list] and not suppressed”. Now every time I add a new LM/List, I’ll need to update every segments logic with “is in [main list] OR [LM1] OR [LM2] OR… and not suppressed”.
Neither of these seems ideal. Is there a better way to do this? If not, which would you go with, 1 or 2?
