Automated flows routinely generate a quarter to half of email revenue from a fraction of the volume, because they arrive at moments of intent. Build these seven in order and each one starts paying before the next is finished.
The seven, ranked
- Welcome sequence: highest opens you will ever get; five emails from story to offer.
- Abandoned cart or abandoned enquiry: reminder within the hour, proof at 24, nudge at 72. Recovers 5 to 15%.
- Post-purchase: confirmation plus usage help plus review ask plus the logical next offer. Retention is the cheapest growth.
- Browse or pricing-page abandonment: for considered purchases, a helpful follow-up to high-intent behaviour.
- Win-back: at 60 to 90 days of silence, one strong reason to return, then a sunset.
- Lead nurture: educational drip mapped to the buying journey for not-ready leads.
- Replenishment or renewal reminders: timed to your product cycle; the easiest yes in email.
Make them behave
- Exit rules: buyers leave the cart flow instantly.
- Frequency caps across flows so nobody gets four emails on Tuesday.
- Plain-person sending voice and one call to action each.
- Quarterly review: automations decay quietly as offers and prices change.

Frequently asked questions
Which email automation makes the most money?
For stores, abandoned cart usually wins; for service businesses, the welcome sequence. Both exploit peak-intent moments, which is why they outperform any campaign.
How long does it take to set up these flows?
A competent build of all seven takes 2 to 4 weeks including copy and testing. Most businesses see the first attributable revenue within days of the cart and welcome flows going live.
Do automations work for B2B service companies?
Yes: swap cart abandonment for enquiry and pricing-page follow-ups, and lean on welcome, nurture and win-back. The intent logic is identical even when checkout is a contract.
