Someone signs up for your email list. What happens next?

That first interaction is an opportunity to introduce your business, build trust, and give a new subscriber a reason to keep paying attention. An effective welcome drip campaign does exactly that, without requiring you to manually follow up with every new contact.

In our latest blog, we break down what to include in a welcome email sequence, how to structure it, and how to turn a new subscriber’s initial interest into an ongoing relationship.

Check it out. 👇

Learn the right email triggers, how many steps you need in a welcome email series, and psychological tips to create an effective email drip campaign.

Rich and Izzy represented the flyte crew at Maine Development Foundation’s 48th Annual Meeting & Champion Awards and Maine Downtown Center Annual Awards in Freeport. This year’s program focused on the role Maine’s downtown communities play in driving economic development, supporting small businesses, and creating opportunities across the state.

Thanks to the Maine Development Foundation and Maine Downtown Center for bringing so many people together to connect, learn, and celebrate the work happening in communities across Maine.

A little networking, a lot of good conversation, and a good excuse to get out of the office a bit early. 😉 Plus delicious b**r from Shipyard Brewing Company! 🎃🍺

AI has been moving fast, and so has the backlash around it. 🤖

In his latest 207 segment, flyte President Rich Brooks digs into what’s fueling growing skepticism around AI and what it means for businesses, policymakers, and our privacy.

The bigger question may not be how fast AI can move, but how fast the public is willing to move with it.

A new website is live for Special Olympics Maine, and we’re so proud to have been part of bringing it to life in collaboration with Springtide Studio!

The new site makes it easier for athletes, families, coaches, volunteers, schools, and donors to find their starting line and connect with everything Special Olympics Maine has to offer.

And hearing this from their team made launch day even better: “We’ve heard such positive feedback from our team and community. Thank you all SO MUCH for your work on the site. It is so beautiful and we’re thrilled!”

— Caroline Cole, Vice President of Operations

Congratulations to the Special Olympics Maine team on the launch! 🎉
