Email marketing is a game-changer for petpreneurs! But when it comes to automated emails, many of us are stuck thinking that only means a welcome email sequence.

In this episode with copywriter Sara Gillis, we’re taking a look at two powerful types of email sequences you don’t want to neglect: nurture sequences and launch sequences.

These strategic messages can transform your email marketing, keeping your audience engaged at different stages of your pet business.

One common roadblock Sara and I talk about in this episode is the fear of annoying your list with too many emails. But let’s flip that script!

If you don’t reach out regularly, you’re essentially ghosting your subscribers. Consistent communication is key! And that’s where email sequences come in handy.

If you get stuck when it comes to actually writing emails for your business, Sara shares some great hacks to beat writer’s block and give your messaging a personal touch.

Speaking of personal touch, Sara has a fun Brand Voice Quiz to help you identify your unique brand voice and provide prompts for your email and social media content.

I took the quiz myself and discovered my brand voice is Charming and Joyful. What’s yours?
