What is an Auto Response Email?
Imagine this: someone visits your website and decides they like what they see so much that they sign up to hear more from you. That's where Auto Response Emails come into play. They're like your website's way of saying "Hi" and "thank you!" to your visitors automatically after they sign up.
With Auto Response Emails, you can:
Give a warm "Welcome" to your new friends (a.k.a. subscribers)
Share a special discount code to make their day better
Send them a special gift, like a guide or a digital file, just for joining
It's a fantastic way to keep the conversation going and make your new subscribers feel right at home!
