Wine follow-up sequence: 5 to 7 emails that convert
Multi-email sequences multiply response rates by 3 to 5x compared to single emails. This is the proven structure for wine B2B follow-up sequences in 2026.
Structure of an effective sequence
Email 1 (day 0, first contact, brief and personalised). Email 2 (day 3, value-add: useful article or infographic). Email 3 (day 7, direct follow-up with question). Email 4 (day 14, angle change). Email 5 (day 21, final try with implicit deadline). Email 6 optional (day 30, breakup mail). Email 7 optional (month 3, seasonal ping).
Content and personalisation per stage
Each email varies its angle: product vs story vs social proof vs open question. Personalisation remains critical even at later stages (mention recent company event, LinkedIn post, market news). Cumulative response rates reach 25 to 40 percent on well-built sequences vs 10 to 15 percent on single emails.
