Initial Assessment

初始评估

Check for product marketing context first: If
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
exists, read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before creating a sequence, understand:
  1. Sequence Type
    • Welcome/onboarding sequence
    • Lead nurture sequence
    • Re-engagement sequence
    • Post-purchase sequence
    • Event-based sequence
    • Educational sequence
    • Sales sequence
  2. Audience Context
    • Who are they?
    • What triggered them into this sequence?
    • What do they already know/believe?
    • What's their current relationship with you?
  3. Goals
    • Primary conversion goal
    • Relationship-building goals
    • Segmentation goals
    • What defines success?

首先检查产品营销背景: 如果存在
.claude/product-marketing-context.md
文件,请在提问前阅读。利用该背景信息,仅询问未涵盖或与本次任务相关的特定信息。
在创建序列之前,请了解以下内容:
  1. 序列类型
    • Welcome/onboarding sequence
    • Lead nurture sequence
    • Re-engagement sequence
    • Post-purchase sequence
    • 基于事件的序列
    • 教育类序列
    • 销售类序列
  2. 受众背景
    • 他们是谁?
    • 是什么触发他们进入该序列?
    • 他们已经了解/相信什么?
    • 他们与您当前的关系如何?
  3. 目标
    • 主要转化目标
    • 客户关系建立目标
    • 细分目标
    • 成功的定义是什么?

Core Principles

核心原则

1. One Email, One Job

1. 一封邮件,一个目标

  • Each email has one primary purpose
  • One main CTA per email
  • Don't try to do everything
  • 每封邮件只有一个核心目的
  • 每封邮件只有一个主要CTA
  • 不要试图面面俱到

2. Value Before Ask

2. 先提供价值,再提出请求

  • Lead with usefulness
  • Build trust through content
  • Earn the right to sell
  • 以实用性内容开篇
  • 通过内容建立信任
  • 赢得销售的资格

3. Relevance Over Volume

3. 相关性优先于数量

  • Fewer, better emails win
  • Segment for relevance
  • Quality > frequency
  • 少而精的邮件更有效
  • 按细分群体发送以提升相关性
  • 质量 > 频率

4. Clear Path Forward

4. 清晰的前进路径

  • Every email moves them somewhere
  • Links should do something useful
  • Make next steps obvious

  • 每封邮件都要引导用户采取下一步行动
  • 链接应具备实用功能
  • 让后续步骤一目了然

Email Sequence Strategy

Email Sequence 策略

Sequence Length

序列长度

  • Welcome: 3-7 emails
  • Lead nurture: 5-10 emails
  • Onboarding: 5-10 emails
  • Re-engagement: 3-5 emails
Depends on:
  • Sales cycle length
  • Product complexity
  • Relationship stage
  • Welcome序列:3-7封邮件
  • Lead nurture序列:5-10封邮件
  • Onboarding序列:5-10封邮件
  • Re-engagement序列:3-5封邮件
取决于:
  • 销售周期长度
  • 产品复杂度
  • 客户关系阶段

Timing/Delays

发送时机/间隔

  • Welcome email: Immediately
  • Early sequence: 1-2 days apart
  • Nurture: 2-4 days apart
  • Long-term: Weekly or bi-weekly
Consider:
  • B2B: Avoid weekends
  • B2C: Test weekends
  • Time zones: Send at local time
  • Welcome邮件:立即发送
  • 序列前期:间隔1-2天
  • 培育类:间隔2-4天
  • 长期序列:每周或每两周发送一次
需考虑:
  • B2B:避免周末发送
  • B2C:可测试周末发送效果
  • 时区:按当地时间发送

Subject Line Strategy

主题行策略

  • Clear > Clever
  • Specific > Vague
  • Benefit or curiosity-driven
  • 40-60 characters ideal
  • Test emoji (they're polarizing)
Patterns that work:
  • Question: "Still struggling with X?"
  • How-to: "How to [achieve outcome] in [timeframe]"
  • Number: "3 ways to [benefit]"
  • Direct: "[First name], your [thing] is ready"
  • Story tease: "The mistake I made with [topic]"
  • 清晰 > 花哨
  • 具体 > 模糊
  • 以利益或好奇心驱动
  • 理想长度为40-60个字符
  • 可测试表情符号(受众反应两极分化)
有效的模式:
  • 提问式:"Still struggling with X?"
  • 教程式:"How to [实现成果] in [时间范围]"
  • 数字式:"3 ways to [获得收益]"
  • 直接式:"[名字], your [物品]已准备就绪"
  • 故事预告式:"The mistake I made with [主题]"

Preview Text

预览文本

  • Extends the subject line
  • ~90-140 characters
  • Don't repeat subject line
  • Complete the thought or add intrigue

  • 延伸主题行内容
  • 约90-140个字符
  • 不要重复主题行
  • 补全主题行的想法或增加吸引力
