Hi guys

 

Slightly confused which one to use here, all the advice I have read about Welcome flows suggests you should add a discount, but having already offered one on the subscriber popup we’d be doubling up. Just curious what everyone else is doing. tia :)

Hi @Scruffydoo 

Thank you for posting your question in the community.

I agree with @Maxbuzz it is all about testing to find the right marketing mix, but in this case, I couple of thoughts. 

A welcome flow is all about building that first time impression to new subscribers. For ecomm business, its common place to offer some sort of discount or gift for new subscribers to incentivize them to make their first purchase. 

If you are already delivering a coupon code via the popup, then offering a different coupon in the welcome email would be too much, but you could also deliver the same coupon from the popup in the welcome email. 

This would allow you to give your onsite users the coupon to use right away (via the popup), but if they don’t purchase, then you can remind them of the discount/coupon in the welcome email. 

Are you using a dynamic coupon or static coupon? 

If you are using a dynamic coupon, this will be saved to the profile so that you can add it to a welcome email as well.

I hope this helps!

Hello @Scruffydoo  Marketing automation is all about testing. You will have to test which one works for you depending on your KPIs. 

Use A/B testing on the Signup forms to see where you get most value and keep that one.

Thanks mate, I agree, I think I’ll put it in both and monitor it. Appreciate the help. 👍

If I’m offering two different discounts (both dynamic, one 10% off and one 20% off) how do I ensure the same discount code seen in the popup is what is sent in the welcome flow?

There's no need to offer two different discount codes on the popup success page and in welcome emails. Simply use the same code on both.
