It’s the same as a “Can I help you?” that you hear when you enter a shop. You are a customer, you are being attended to, you are important. You need to meet and greet every new follower.

Disclaimer for welcome messages
DON’T DO THIS IN WELCOME MESSAGES:
- Don’t be too formal.
- Don’t even try to push a new follower to buy from you in the very first message. This is the place to show your brand voice, to build trust and loyalty.

Idea to start your welcome messages strategy with
Make a limited-time welcome offer for your new followers. This is a perfect place to engage them even more by offering a gift, discount or a special price. On the one hand, your follower will feel rewarded for their effort and build a more positive attitude towards you. On the other hand, an offer will urge them to start shopping or, at least, browsing immediately. And if the offer is time-limited, that’s an additional motivation to shop while the offer lasts.
