An email drip campaign is a series of marketing emails that work together to nurture consumers. They’re called drip campaigns because they provide buyers with useful information by slowly dripping over time.

Not everyone knows about its advantages and simply the difference between a drip campaign and bulk emailing. Actually, there is a great difference, but we’re here not for this issue. We have to show you the key advantages of such a great email marketing strategy.

Automated funnel movement

A drip campaign is a chain of emails sent to people depending upon the actions they perform. These actions herein triggers lead to the next step in the campaign. The only thing to remember is that the campaign flow is as good as the idea of it.

So sit down and make the stunning adventure you want the prospects to take. Just start the first message, set up triggers, delays, and goals. Then, the system does everything for you.

Drag-and-drop editor

If you are a new user here and you are completely afraid of making such a great job as a drip campaign, don’t worry. Online, you can find easy-to-use visual editors. This is the place where you create the campaign.

The drag-n-drop campaign builders are the easiest, as they have a number of convenient features. For example, while building a campaign brunch, you visualize the whole sequence. This way, it’s really easy to check if the stages are connected logically.

The visual editors were made for your comfort. Also, you can set up a schedule, pauses, triggers, and goals. Everything else is defined according to the prospects’ actions: whether there will be the next step or the campaign will stop once and forever.

Own list of subscribers

It is possible to create your own list of prospects and clients to whom the messages will be sent. If the lists are already made in Google Sheet or Excel file, you can just upload them to the platform. People from the lists will receive messages until they unsubscribe or you delete them.

Multi-purpose tool

One of the beneficial things about drip emails is that you can use them for any needs.

For instance, for sending welcoming and farewell emails, onboarding and confirmation emails (to confirm a customer’s purchase by setting up a “thank you” autoresponder), educational and nurturing emails, etc.

Nevertheless, everything depends upon your desire; what you are going to spread in particular.

Delighted customers

Are there more advantages?
