When your customer makes a significant purchase or signs up for online banking, make sure you take the time to send a well-designed welcome/thank-you email message. It not only helps make a good impression with your new customer, but also can pay for itself by decreasing telephone inquiries about the status of the new account. The message can also be used for SUBTLE upselling, such as a balance transfer offer for new credit card accounts.
Dell's Welcome Message
Today we received this message from Dell thanking us for purchasing a new PC. Even though we've been frequent Dell buyers for years, they are not taking us for granted. The welcome message includes friendly graphics and a short welcome message with an embedded link to the "order status" page (click on inset left for a closeup).
The bottom of the message, which requires scrolling for most users, contains 
key information for future use such as serial number, customer number, support numbers, rebate info and so on. There is also a link to purchase add-ons (click on inset right for a closeup).
