Build a launch-team email sequence in stages: a welcome email thanking members and setting expectations, an ARC-delivery email with the book and clear instructions, reminder emails as launch approaches, and a launch-day email with specific, easy asks (post a review, share a link) timed to release. Keep each email focused on one clear task, make participating effortless, and thank the team throughout. The sequence turns willing readers into a coordinated launch-day force.
Chapter i·Why it matters
A launch team only helps if its members know what to do and do it at the right time, and that depends on communication. A planned email sequence ensures everyone is welcomed, equipped with the book, reminded, and given clear launch-day actions — concentrating their effort when it counts. Without it, a launch team drifts and underdelivers. The sequence is the operational backbone that converts a list of supporters into a coordinated burst of reviews and shares.
Chapter ii·What to include
- A welcome email setting expectations.
- An ARC-delivery email with instructions.
- Reminder emails before launch.
- A launch-day email with specific asks.
- One clear, easy task per email.
- Gratitude throughout the sequence.
Chapter iii·Example
An author sets up a four-email launch-team sequence: a warm welcome, the ARC with a simple instruction sheet, a reminder three days out, and a launch-day email asking for an honest review and one share. Because each step is clear and timed, her team delivers a concentrated wave of launch-day reviews instead of scattered, late participation.
