Welcome Sequences, at their core, are about capitalizing on the interest and attention of a new subscriber and beginning their journey with you toward the destination you want them to arrive at.
It’s the ultimate “auto-responder” as it is entirely automated. There is a reason why they signed up for your thing at the moment they did. Why would you wait a week or a month or six to say hello or follow up regarding that? They’re expecting to hear from you and you need to live up to that expectation!
A welcome sequence is either a single email, or a series of consecutive emails that inform, inspire, and instruct a subscriber along a predetermined path before letting them loose into a general newsletter, or sorting them into the appropriate evergreen sales emails based on any segment-able questions asked to nurture them even further.
