Email Funnels That Transform Leads into Customers

[sharminsultana]

Limited-Time Offers: Create urgency with countdown timers and phrases like “Only 24 Hours Left!”.

The ‘Foot-in-the-Door’ Technique: Ask for small commitments first, like clicking a link, before pushing for conversions.

Reciprocity Principle: Offer free value before asking for action. Example: “Here’s a free guide—now, here’s how you can use it with our products.”
