Campaign Types This Workflow Covers

This workflow applies to four common email campaigns. Pick the one you need most and start there:

  1. Monthly newsletter — Market updates + listings + tips for your entire database

  3. Seller drip sequence — Nurture for potential sellers (5–8 emails)
  4. Re-engagement campaign — Wake up cold contacts (3 emails)

Step-by-Step: Monthly Newsletter

  1. Step 1: Gather This Month's Content (5 minutes)

    Collect the raw ingredients for your newsletter:

    • 1 tip or insight: Home maintenance, buying/selling advice, or local event
    • 1 personal update: Community involvement, testimonial, or milestone

  3. Step 3: Generate Subject Line Variations (2 minutes)

    In the same conversation:

    Give me 5 more subject line options for this newsletter. Include: - 1 curiosity-driven - 1 benefit-driven - 1 question format - 1 with a number/stat - 1 personal/conversational Keep each under 50 characters for mobile optimization.
  4. Step 4: Build in Your Email Platform (10 minutes)

    • Create a new campaign in your email platform
    • Paste the AI-generated content
    • Add your listing photo and any graphics
    • Set up A/B test with your top 2 subject lines
    • Add your email signature and unsubscribe link

    • After 48 hours, check: open rate (target: 25%+), click rate (target: 3%+), replies

Bonus: Re-Engagement Sequence (3 emails)

For contacts who haven't opened your emails in 3+ months:

Create a 3-email re-engagement sequence for cold contacts in my real estate database. My info: Sarah Johnson, Premier Realty, Austin TX Audience: Past clients and leads who haven't engaged in 3+ months Email 1 (Day 1): "Still thinking about real estate?" — Casual check-in with a market update or interesting stat Email 2 (Day 4): Value-add — Share something genuinely useful (free home value estimate, market report, local event) Email 3 (Day 8): Last chance — "Should I keep you on my list?" with clear opt-out and re-engagement options Each email: - Subject line included - Under 80 words - Conversational, no-pressure tone - Clear CTA in each
