A Nurturing Email Campaign is a series of emails that are used to form a relationship with a subscriber. Eventually, the campaign usually motivates a subscriber toward a purchase. This is a type of campaign where a stream of marketing materials is sent at pre-determined intervals.
A typical nurturing email campaign will use a lead magnet, a freebie that is used to entice a person to exchange email details for the item.
Examples of Lead Magnets
- Checklists
- E-Books
- Product Samples
- Online courses
- Templates
- Coupons
- Memberships
Nurturing Email Campaign Templates
MessageScribe, our Marketing Email Generator software, will generate six email templates for your nurturing email campaign and fill out most of the information for you.
What you will need:
- A lead magnet
- A Product to sell
- A discount offer
- A blog post
Preferably the blog post should be one you wrote, but it can be from someone else if you don’t have a blog. If it is your own, it helps set you up as an authority and makes the selling of your product much easier.
Email #1 – Welcome
The first email will welcome your reader and let them get to know about you. It will also let the subscriber know what to expect in your upcoming emails and where they can find you on social media.

Customization
This is a typical nurturing email campaign but you can of course add more emails to the middle of the sequence. The more information you give to a reader may help to set yourself up as an authority. If you give too many free items, however, it may spoil your audience and will sour them on actually purchasing from you.
I hope this will help you get started if you want more detailed information on email nurturing campaigns I highly recommend you check out meerakothand.com
