Email Cadence Design Skill

When to Use

  • Planning nurture, onboarding, or expansion sequences with multiple branches.
  • Auditing send frequency to reduce fatigue and unsubscribes.
  • Coordinating cross-channel touches (email, in-app, SMS, sales assist).

Framework

1. **Goal Alignment** – map KPIs per stage (activation, education, expansion, retention). 2. **Signal-Based Timing** – trigger on behavior (opens, clicks, product events), not fixed delays. 3. **Frequency Guardrails** – define daily/weekly send caps per persona + lifecycle stage. 4. **Channel Mix** – pair emails with supporting channels; document ownership and SLAs. 5. **Recovery Paths** – add detours for inactivity, hard bounces, or sales handoffs.

Templates

  • Cadence matrix (day, trigger, message purpose, CTA, channel).
  • Fatigue model calculator (touches vs engagement trend).
  • Suppression logic checklist (recent send, opportunity stage, consent).

Tips

  • Front-load value but leave whitespace before high-ask CTAs.
  • Reuse proven send windows per persona while testing incrementally.
  • Share cadence plan with SDR/CSM teams to prevent overlap.
