We sit down with Tiffany Bartlett, an email marketing specialist, or as she likes ot say, a "Welcome Sequence Scientist." Tiffany shares her journey from the science field to mastering email marketing strategies for service-based businesses. We explore why first impressions in email marketing matter, the elements of a strong welcome sequence, and how to create lasting connections with your audience through thoughtful email design.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why every small business needs a well-crafted welcome/nurutre sequence.

• Tips for building trust with your audience through authenticity and consistent communication.

Tiffany's Top Insights:

• On Email Consent: "I don't want people on my list unless they want to be there. Building trust starts from the first opt-in."
• On Welcome Sequences: "Without a welcome sequence, it’s like leaving a visitor at your front door without saying hello."
• On Simplifying Emails: "Short emails can be impactful if they’re well-crafted and focused on one goal."
