Frequently asked questions
Should I discount in the welcome series?
Yes, but only for a first purchase and only with a real expiry. A welcome offer rewards the signup; endless discounts train people to wait.
Which product should I push?
The bestseller for first-timers, not your premium line. Make the first purchase easy and satisfying, then upsell later.
