Drip Campaigns


Drip emails are those emails you get after creating an account on a website that come after certain periods of time.

Drip, drip, drip, like a leaky faucet, and sometimes just as unwelcome.

But email is such a strong way to talk to users, and companies know it. A well-done drip campaign can educate users and re-engage them. Possibly getting these users to upgrade or lose less of them to churn. I recently signed up for You Need A Budget (YNAB) and actually quite liked their drip emails.

Useful, and hopefully effective drip emails is exactly what we were hoping to do in a recent stab at that at CodePen. But it’s likely we went a little too far, and have reeled it back a little. We’re still trying to figure it out.

Listen to me and my co-workers Jake Albaugh and Marie Mosley talk all about drip email campaigns over on the CodePen Radio podcast.

  1. YNAB emails are the only drip campaign I’ve ever read. Incredibly well done, helpful emails.
