What is a Drip Campaign?

By Nikhil Sharma · Updated 1 November 2026 · Marketing Glossary
Definition

Drip Campaign is a series of automated, pre-written messages — usually emails — sent to prospects or customers on a set schedule or triggered by their actions.

What is a drip campaign?

Instead of one-off sends, a drip ‘drips’ a planned sequence over time — a welcome series, an onboarding flow, a re-engagement sequence. Each message is set up once and sent automatically based on timing or behaviour, via your email or CRM platform.

Why it matters

Drip campaigns are the backbone of lead nurturing: they keep you present with the majority of leads who aren’t ready to buy yet, automatically, until they are. Set up well, they turn one-time interest into pipeline without manual effort.

Common drip sequences

  • Welcome / onboarding series.
  • Lead nurture by funnel stage.
  • Abandoned cart or form.
  • Re-engagement for dormant contacts.
  • Post-purchase and upsell.

Questions, answered

A series of automated, pre-written messages sent to prospects or customers on a schedule or triggered by their behaviour — such as a welcome series or nurture sequence — set up once and delivered automatically.

A drip campaign is an automated, pre-set sequence triggered per contact (everyone gets the same journey from their start point); a newsletter is a one-off broadcast sent to everyone at once. Drips nurture; newsletters update.

They automate lead nurturing, keeping you present with leads who are not yet ready to buy until they are, without manual effort — turning interest into pipeline at scale.
