Beyond the Welcome Flow: The 7 Lifecycle Sends That Actually Move LTV

A revenue-first audit of the flows worth investing in — and the ones quietly costing you reputation.

Most lifecycle programs are bloated. 30+ flows, half of them sending to disengaged contacts, all of them dragging sender reputation. Strip back to the 7 sends that move LTV and you'll usually see revenue go up while volume goes down.

The 7 that matter

1. Welcome (with a real reason to open #2).

2. Browse abandonment — segmented by product category.

3. Cart abandonment — three sends, last one with social proof.

4. Post-purchase nurture — value-first, not pitch-first.

5. Replenishment trigger — based on actual product consumption cadence.

6. Win-back at 60 days — one shot, strong offer.

7. Sunset at 120 days — preserve sender reputation by letting them go.
