Invitation email templates

How can you promote a customer portal and encourage your clients to join it? One of the most efficient ways is to simply email them, informing them about the existence of the platform.

Don’t forget to list the benefits of joining your customer portal and include a clear call to action to achieve the best results.

What is an invitation email? Why is it important?

An invitation email serves also as a calendar event reminder. It’s a message informing your clients or users about the availability of your customer portal, encouraging them to join the platform. You should send this type of email to every customer who is eligible to join the customer portal.

Frequently asked questions

How should an invitation email look?

An invitation to join a customer portal should attract the recipient’s attention right away and convince them to make the effort to create an account. That’s why making it visually appealing by using an HTML-based email template is a good idea.

How many follow-ups of an invitation email should I send?

Two follow-ups sent within one week are more than fine. However, remember not to be too pushy and to observe the reactions of recipients. If they ask you to stop sending them messages, just do so.

If a new customer doesn’t join your customer portal after you’ve sent them one or two messages, it may mean that you’re not successfully communicating the value of the platform.

When should I send an invitation email?

Ideally, you should send an invitation email after a few days (or weeks, depending on the complexity of your product/service) after a customer starts using your product/service. Lead them through the onboarding process first, then let them get to know your product and absorb all of the available information. Once the new client is more familiar with your products, invite them to join your customer portal, which they can use to solve more complex challenges related to your product/service and share their knowledge with other users.
