How I got 80% open rates using this thank you page AND welcome email combo

Hey there, it's Tommy.

Most businesses waste their best chance to connect with new subscribers

They don't realise that the thank you page AND the welcome email work together as a system.

When one fails, the whole subscriber journey breaks down.

Your welcome email gets more eyes than anything else you'll ever send.

But 90% of welcome sequences I review fail to convert readers into loyal fans.

I recently tweaked a new client's welcome sequence

The results?

80%+ open rates and 10% click-through rates...

and we are not done yet improving it!

Here is how we completely redesigned both as a unified experience.

On the thank you page, we:

1. Set clear expectations about what would arrive in their inbox

2. Asked them to whitelist his email address (with simple instructions)

3. Created anticipation for specific content in the welcome email

Then in the welcome email, we:

1. Delivered exactly what the thank you page promised

2. Included personal elements that continued the conversation

3. Added a simple poll to collect data

4. Created curiosity about what was coming next

Everything is downstream from these two pieces of copy.

They're not separate touchpoints—they're two halves of your first impression.

Here's why this combination approach works so well:

1. The thank you page primes subscribers to open the welcome email.

2. It sets expectations that your welcome email fulfils, building immediate trust.

3. It creates a seamless experience that feels intentional, not automated.

4. It improves deliverability by getting subscribers to look for your email.

When aligned, they reinforce each other and create momentum.

I've used this exact strategy for businesses from startups to $20M+/year companies.

Time for you to steal both of them and update your funnel
