Welcome Emails: The Perfect Non-Spammy Money Makers

The other day, I was getting a Ringcentral 1-800 number for a new ecommerce site I am starting. I've never done a lot with ecommerce, but my dad has a very successful ecommerce store. Now that we share a large office space / warehouse, I figured it was the perfect time for me to get into ecommerce as well.

Anyways... As I mentioned, I got this 1-800 number and was really impressed by how quick and easy it was. Basically, you sign up, pick the 1-800 number, enter credit card details, activate your email, and you're done!

After I went through the process, I checked out the welcome email from them.

This really impressed me... but not because of the detailed orientation guides, etc. I was impressed because they were using Vistaprint's affiliate program in a VERY non-spammy, value added way. At around $12 bucks (or more) per person who signs up, I thought this was an EPIC example of exactly how you can find great, high paying affiliate offers, and offer them to customers in a welcome email in order to feel like the customer is getting more value.

It's a win-win situation really.

Seriously, I am already thinking about ways I can use this in some of the websites I am creating. How can I earn more profit by adding an offer like this into my welcome emails? What offers would work best?

Time for me to start experimenting! :)

Bravo Ringcentral.
