How do you create a welcome email series for new subscribers?
Here are the top 3 most common goals: - Maximize engagement (e.g. clicks, responses), so open & click rates ill be higher down the line - Introduce your products (e.g. ebooks), so that you immediately offset your acquisition cost - Educate about your product, if it's complex so they're more likely to remain or buy in the future

How can you tailor your brand for global audiences?
🎓 Scientific research finds that you need to adapt your ads to the maturity of your target market. -> Emotional ads work best in developed economies (e.g. Europe, Japan, North America) For example, focus on showing a family enjoying a fun moment while driving the car you are advertising. -> Informational ads work best in developing markets (e.g. Indonesia, India, South Africa) For example, focus on the safety certifications and reliability of the car, and the good value it is. 🧠 Why? Customers in developing countries want to - first of all - be reassured of the basic quality of the product, while that's taken for granted in developed markets. 🔬 Study: Zarantonello, Jedidi, & Schmitt. 2012
