Do you know when you should use a Kajabi email broadcast instead of a sequence (and vice versa)?
I see people miss-use these tools all the time, so here’s a quick rundown:
Email broadcasts should be used…
- When you want your emails to go out on a specific date and time (IE Thursday, March 3 at 2pm ET).
- When you need to send emails surrounding an event (IE your doors are about to close or you just hosted a live webinar).
- When you’re sending an email or newsletter to your list and want them to all receive it on the same day.
Email sequences should be used…
- When you want your emails to go out on a timed basis (IE day 1, day 3, day 8).
- When you need to send an email triggered by an automation (IE when someone purchases a course or when someone submits a form).
- When you want your contact to travel through a series of emails in a specific order (IE a welcome or nurture sequence).
Let’s play with some examples:
Q – You want to send a welcome email to someone after they purchase a course. This email should be sent immediately upon purchase.
A – Email Sequence (you can also add an email inside the offer, but I highly prefer email sequences because you can send multiple different offers to the same sequence)
—
Q – You want to send a sales email to everyone who purchased course A but has NOT yet purchased course B.
A – Email Broadcast
—
Q – You want to set up a welcome sequence for anyone who signs up for your email list.
A – Email Sequence
—
Q – You’re hosting a live webinar. People sign up to the webinar using a form, which registers them for an event.
A – Email Sequence (you can also add emails directly inside the event, which is super helpful for pre- and post-webinar communication!)
—
Q – You’re launching a course and want to send a sales email at the same time every day for 5 days, then 3 emails on the last day.
A – Email Broadcast (cloning is your friend) OR a combination of an email sequence for the first 5 emails plus 3 email broadcasts on the last day
