A practical example
Example: every new trial signup enters a four-email drip: a welcome on day one, a feature tip on day three, a use-case story on day six, and an upgrade reminder on day nine, regardless of whether they opened earlier emails.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask whether contacts can exit a drip mid-sequence when they convert, reply or hit another condition
- Verify how many active drips and steps per drip the plan allows, and whether steps support non-email actions
- Check whether you can pause, edit and resume a live drip without restarting participants from step one
Limitations and tradeoffs
Fixed schedules ignore recipient behavior, so a drip alone can send irrelevant messages; mature programs combine drips with behavioral branching.
