MailChimp journey
Why this works
**Why this works.** The subject line names a concrete next action ("Connect your e-commerce store") rather than announcing a feature, so free users see a destination, not a tool. The pattern here is "action over feature announcement"; you can lift it for any onboarding email where you want freemium users to take their second step instead of passively learning what exists.
