84/1004/5 Best of Email
A welcome with something to say
The big things are right, and nothing below is working against it.
- Sender scored 100 out of 100
- Trust & compliance scored 100 out of 100
- Images scored 98 out of 100
Welcoming new subscribers, Patagonia skips the discount code and leads with sunset surf vans and hikers buried in trail maps, then states its mission plainly: "Patagonia is in business to save our home planet." It closes on "Earth is now our only shareholder," a line no other outdoor brand could borrow. A welcome email can sell a worldview before it sells a jacket.
