Aada, a marketer at Pellava, a made-up Tampere online shop that sells linen bedding, builds the shop's welcome sequence of four emails and reads its first month of numbers.

Your practice task

Map a welcome sequence of three or four emails for your own list, with the trigger, the day, topic and goal of each email and the exit condition; write the first email in full with a subject line and preview text for every email; and choose three numbers to read after the first month, each with a baseline, and check whether SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass for your sending domain. Submit the sequence map, the first email with all subject lines, and the three numbers with baselines and your domain status.
