When people sign up to your email list, you want to give them a great first impression. Unfortunately, when most people create an email campaign, they go with the default confirmation email on whatever platform they are on.
That’s a big problem. When email marketing services set up these confirmation emails, they have to do it in a generic way. That way, they can “satisfy” as many companies as possible.
But you and I know that when you try to please EVERYONE, you end up doing a poor job at pleasing anyone. So these confirmation emails aren’t very “pleasing”.
You want to create a customized confirmation email that’s right in line with your messaging and tone.
How to Edit Your Campaign Confirmation Email
The first thing we’re gonna do is click on Campaign in the top menu.
Let’s use my Action Tips campaign as an example. If you click on the campaign name, it will take you into the campaign.
Once there, go to Emails..
This will take you to a list of my Campaign Emails. If you click on the word “Campaign” you will see the option of going to your Confirmation emails.
Once there, you will see what’s there by default. You will notice that the content is pretty generic.
Fortunately, you can change it. However, you want to keep the confirmation link in there.
If you ever make a mistake and delete the confirmation link, you can add it back. Go to Email Fields, and then scroll down to Opt-In Confirmation Link. Then click “Insert”.
Once your email is complete, click on “Save” and you’re good to go.
Example Confirmation Email
Here’s an example of an email I’d use:
