Tips

  • Read the sequence out loud — If it sounds robotic, rewrite it
  • Check the last step especially — It’s the final impression and should be graceful
  • Ask a colleague to review — Fresh eyes catch tone issues you might miss
  • Preview before every campaign launch — Even for template sequences you’ve used before
