What are drip campaigns?

Drip email campaigns are automated sequences of emails sent out over a period, delivering targeted and relevant content to subscribers or customers. These campaigns play a crucial role for creators in nurturing leads, engaging audiences, and fostering long-term relationships.


What are the benefits of setting up drip campaigns?

By setting up drip email communications, businesses can provide a personalised experience for recipients, guiding them through a structured journey that aligns with their specific interests, pain points, or stage in the customer lifecycle. Each email in the sequence is carefully crafted and timed to deliver value, whether it's educational resources, exclusive offers, or timely reminders.


Drip campaigns enable creators to stay top-of-mind and maintain consistent communication without the need for manual intervention. This automated approach not only saves time and resources but also ensures a seamless and cohesive experience for the recipient, preventing them from feeling bombarded or overlooked.
