Association Email Examples | New Member Letter

When a new member joins your organization, an email welcoming them should be your top priority. It’s an effective and efficient way to reinforce their decision to join.

It’s important to note that a Welcome Email should NOT be a quick, generic email sent simply to check it off your to-do list.

If that’s how you’ve been rolling, you need to change your approach – like now. Sending a Welcome Email to new members is an enormously valuable opportunity that only happens once. Don’t pass it up.

Important Fact: A welcome email is categorized as a ‘triggered’ email (learn more about triggered emails in The Power of The Welcome Email). Triggered emails get 3x the open rate and have 135% higher click-through rates than business-as-usual emails. They occur at an early stage in the member relationship before email fatigue sets in.

When writing emails pay attention to:

• Crafting an effective subject line
• Avoiding spam filters
• Keeping the messaging authentic

Introducing your organization and establishing credibility is a strategy that will pay off in the long run. A welcome email is an excellent way to get your association’s relationship with a new member off on the right foot right from the start.
