Welcome Series

Build a strong digital relationship with new customers from day one

Customers expect a warm welcome from brands they do business with, including their energy provider. Questline Digital’s Welcome Series is a best-practice digital solution designed to connect with new and moving customers at the start of service. An essential customer engagement campaign, Welcome Series has the power to positively impact customer satisfaction ratings and lay the foundation for a long-term digital relationship.

Why Welcome Series works

Your new customers expect a welcome. They’re anticipating information from their new service provider and are ready to engage with your content. Don’t miss the opportunity to showcase your energy utility as a trusted partner and resource.

  • Welcome Series is consistently the highest-performing digital marketing campaign compared to other types of energy utility communications.
  • In 2022, 60% of all Welcome Series messages were opened by customers.
  • Welcome Series graduates engage in future email communications, including program promotions, at a 30% higher rate than customers who don’t receive a Welcome Series.

Questline Digital’s Welcome Series solution uses artificial intelligence to learn about your customers’ needs and interests and automatically build relevant audience segments. You can easily capture motivations and preferences like “convenience driven,” “price conscious” and “mobile/digital” and then put that data to work to improve the customer experience.

The Foundation for Long-Term Digital Customer Relationships

From program promotions to MyAccount setup and energy efficiency resources, this is your opportunity to share important information with new or moving customers at the start of their journey.

It’s also a chance to listen to your customers, not just inform them. Click behavior, actions taken and other interactions with Questline Digital’s Welcome Series are used to build meaningful audience segments. This intel can be employed to personalize the welcome journey and provide customers with the content, programs and services they’re most likely to engage with.
