How to Send Drip Email Campaign with GrowMeOrganic CRM?

Whenever you build an email list, you are ready to create some drip campaigns. Drip Email campaigns are known as drip marketing, lifecycle emails, automated email campaigns, and autoresponders. So, these are a series of automated emails that will be sent out automatically when scheduled for a particular time.

You can choose how many emails to send and the rate at which to send them based on your business. These emails can be personalized with data such as the contact’s name and their buying behaviour. For instance, you might send a drip campaign to a person who has signed up for your service, who adds an item to their online cart, or maybe makes a purchase. 

It is always a daunting task to set up a drift email campaign. So, we have included a complete guide on how you can send a drip-email campaign from GrowMeOrganic. 

Things To Know Before Setting Up Drip Campaign

• Before creating a campaign make sure you have an audience. 
• If you don’t have subscribers in your audience, import your contacts or invite people to subscribe with a signup form where they can submit their email and other details as shown below.

What is an Email Drip Campaign?

Drip campaigns are automated sets of emails that are sent to your audience. These are sent on a set timing based on the prospect’s behaviour. It helps businesses to stay in touch with an audience in a personalized way. Personalization includes contacts’ names, company info, user behaviour. Drip campaigns will have a queue of already written emails that are sent one by one.   By integrating a Real Estate Drip Email approach, you can effectively nurture leads and drive higher engagement.

For instance, if any user has subscribed to your newsletter then you can send a welcoming email drip campaign. Then after two days, send an email that shows some of your products or services based on user interest. 

Similarly, if any customer has been hovering around your “premium services” page for a few days but hasn’t bought it yet, setting a drip campaign could help. This will send them an email automatically with some reasons why they should purchase the premium plan. 
But do drip campaigns are really helpful? Yes, they are useful if emails are sent through an automated tool such as GrowMeOrganic. So, let’s go through the benefits of setting an email drip campaign through GrowMeOrganic.

Choose a Campaign Type

You have an option to select instant or sequence campaigns according to your business goals. So, let’s take a look at both types of campaigns you can create in GrowMeOrganic.

Instant Campaign

Warm Up Emails and Import Your Contacts Before Creating Campaign

Before selecting and creating a campaign you will have to warm up the emails, import your contacts in CRM and create a template that you want to use based on your business goal. 

Email WarmUp

Email Warmup is the process of building the reputation of new email accounts to increase their sending limit. In the warmup, process emails are sent from a new email account with gradually increasing the number of emails sent each day. 

Every email service provider (Gmail, yahoo) gives daily sending limits whenever a user creates a new email account. For example, Google provides 2000 emails/day. So, ideally, it takes 8-12 weeks to achieve maximum deliverability of emails depending upon volume and engagement.
