The program includes a follow-up message to all new subscribers who don't click the welcome message. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/554b9b98-6720-4d8b-9919-c7b203d72648/Images/Documentation/86200dc6-c874-4973-a09a-d8b7badf53ba.png) ## Benefits​ - Automatically respond to every new subscription to your newsletter. - Get your customer relationship off to a great start with an enthusiastic, genuine welcome mail and a targeted follow-up. - Encourage new subscribers to become purchasing customers. ## Marketing Inspiration​ - Consider creating a separate campaign for contacts who subscribe and at the same time complete their first purchase. Purchasers already receive a confirmation email and a shipping confirmation, so you don't want to bombard them with emails in the first week. Instead, consider sending them a customized welcome program that starts a week after the initial purchase. Use this welcome program to cross-sell related products and strengthen the customer relationship. - Don't forget to set up a profile enrichment program so that you're continuously gathering data about your contacts. See [Profile Enrichment​](/v1/docs/profile-enrichment). ## Procedure​ This procedure has three steps. A) Create two messages: a welcome message and a follow-up message. B) Create a selection that identifies contacts who were added to the group a week ago, but who didn't click on the welcome message. C) Create an event-based automation that sends the welcome message after subscription. On the same whiteboard, create a time-based automation that sends the reminder message on a daily basis. The reminder is sent to contacts who were added to the group a week ago, but who didn't click on the welcome message. ### A) Create the Messages​ | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/554b9b98-6720-4d8b-9919-c7b203d72648/Images/Documentation/1e5cd46d-deab-497d-ac93-2567ddb7d51a.png) | ​WelcomeMessage​ | Save the message as a prepared message.

For example, you can easily add or change a coupon or update the graphics. There is no need to change or pause the automation. Sendout with the new content continues as scheduled. ### B) Create Selection​ Create a selection that identifies contacts who were added to the group a week ago, but who didn't click on the welcome message.
