01 — Overview
Staying present during a complex decision
Tax debt decisions can take time. This campaign used a multi-week drip strategy to keep the tax shop visible while providing repeated, timely prompts for leads who may not be ready to respond after a first message.
The campaign included 1,516 leads, with 1,470 launched and reached. Across the sequence, it sent 3,635 messages and recorded a 99.8% delivery rate, demonstrating strong list delivery performance. [2]
The Challenge
A tax debt lead may need time. The message needs a plan.
Tax debt assistance is not typically an immediate purchase decision. Prospects may be researching options, comparing providers, or waiting until they are ready to engage. The campaign needed to create consistent contact without relying on a single email.
Core campaign question
How can a sequence remain helpful and visible over multiple weeks while giving leads clear opportunities to take the next step?
02 — Sequence Strategy
A drip sequence built around timing
The campaign used staggered follow-ups to create several opportunities for leads to open, click, and respond over the course of multiple weeks.
Introduce
Send an initial outreach message to introduce tax debt help and establish the reason for contacting the prospect.
Follow Up
Wait before sending a second message, giving leads space to consider the first outreach while keeping the campaign active.
Re-Engage
Continue the sequence with a fresh angle and a clear reminder that tax debt support remains available.
Measure
Track delivery, opens, clicks, replies, and negative signals to understand where the sequence is creating attention or friction.
03 — Early Sequence Results
Engagement Across the First Sends
The first email was sent immediately to 1,470 leads and generated a 28% open rate with 417 opens. It also generated a 7% click rate with 99 clicks. [3]
The next two sequence emails followed after waits of six and five days. Each recorded a 23% open rate; the second message recorded 308 opens and 28 clicks, while the third recorded 183 opens and 21 clicks. [3]
04 — Campaign Priorities
Built for consistent, useful outreach
Intentional Timing
Space messages across days so the campaign stays visible without relying on a one-time outreach attempt.
Clear Messaging
Keep each email focused on a clear reason to revisit tax debt support and take a next action.
Performance Feedback
Use open, click, reply, unsubscribe, and bounce data to determine where future subject lines, copy, or calls to action can improve.
05 — Email Content
Helping Leads Return to the Decision
Each message in the drip campaign was designed to bring leads back to the central question: whether they needed help resolving tax debt.
Instead of treating follow-ups as duplicates, the sequence used separate sends to reintroduce the opportunity, keep support top of mind, and create multiple chances for a prospect to interact.
Messaging takeaway
Follow-up works best when it gives a lead a renewed reason to consider action, rather than simply repeating the first message.
