03 Summary
The welcome scenario is one of the simplest and, at the same time, most cost-effective scenarios - it works precisely when the customer's interest is at its peak. A well-planned series of messages introduces the brand, builds trust, and smoothly guides a new contact toward a first purchase. Make sure it stays consistent with the brand identity and spread the messages out over time, rather than saying everything in a single email.
