Your signup form and welcome sequence: how new subscribers meet you

Your email list starts the moment your first visitor shows up

The signup form is the thing that turns anonymous traffic into people you can email later. Without one, the visitor count in your analytics is just a number on a screen. With one, that number becomes a list that grows every time someone shows up at your store.

Two pieces to set up in this lesson. First, an email tool connected to your Shopify store so the addresses you collect actually go somewhere useful. Second, a 3-email welcome sequence that fires automatically the moment someone signs up, so the first impression you make on every new subscriber happens whether you're at your computer or at your booth.

About 20 minutes of work, plus the time it takes to write your three emails. By the end you've got a list-building system you'll never have to touch again.
