Tip 1) Send it, when its most expected

Subscribers, show high interest and expect a welcome email immediately upon subscribing to your email list. 

So, the golden hour to warmly welcome your email subscribers is, the hour when your subscriber opted-in to your email list.

Tip 2) Craft Visible Subject Line

Write a subject line that makes it easy for your subscribers to spot your Welcome Email. And to achieve that, add the keyword " Welcome" as the first word in your subject line.

Example:

- Welcome to Zoho Campaigns.

- Welcome to Zylker Ltd

- Welcome! Here's your Onboarding Kit

Tip 3) Get Whitelisted

Before anything, get your domain whitelisted.

Make the best use of your welcome email to ensure good email deliverability of your next emails, by requesting your subscribers to add you to their address book.

You can automate and simplify the process of whitelisting for your subscribers by inserting a vCard merge tag. 

Tip 4) Provide Clear Call to Action

The best welcome is the one that results in a revisit.

To continue your engagement and make your subscriber revisit, end your welcome email by providing a clear direction about their next call to action.
