Email newsletters remain one of the most powerful tools for deepening audience relationships and driving repeat visits to your website. But growing that subscriber list can be tough if you’re relying on passive sign-up forms or hoping people find the link in your bio.

With Inrō’s Grow Your Newsletter campaign template, you can share engaging bite-sized previews directly via Instagram DMs — in text, audio, or video format — that tease valuable content and drive clicks back to your full newsletter on your site. Best of all, this campaign includes an email collection step so you can capture new subscribers right inside the conversation.

Challenges in Growing Newsletter Subscriptions

Low Conversion from Bio Links

Only a small fraction of followers click through your profile link to sign up for a newsletter.

Competing for Attention in the Feed

Even strong newsletter promotions can be buried in your audience’s busy Instagram feed.

Lack of Direct Engagement

Without a conversation-based approach, you miss the chance to personally invite followers and answer their questions about your newsletter.

Use Case Overview

The Grow Your Newsletter campaign template helps you:

  • Share irresistible content snippets that spark curiosity
  • Drive followers directly to your newsletter landing page
  • Invite replies to deepen engagement
  • Automatically collect email addresses from interested contacts
  • Segment newsletter subscribers into a dedicated folder for future campaigns

Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing the Campaign

1. Audience Selection via Folder Categorization

Start by selecting the audience for your launch. In Inrō, this is done through folder selection — a dynamic way to segment your contacts.

Manually Selection

Select contacts through CRM filters (e.g., “any enagement in the past 30 days).

Find your audience by applying filters in the CRM

Create a new folder by selecting all the contacts filtered out

Automatically categorization

Select users already categorized into a folder (e.g., “Engaged Followers”) through past automations — for example, those added when they commented on a related post or clicked on a link in DMs.

Folders automatically filled in specific scenarios

For this campaign, you might create a folder like “Newsletter Prospects” including people that actively engage with your content.

2. Send the Newsletter Teaser DM

Start the conversation with a short preview of your latest edition — just enough to hook the reader. Include a link to read the full newsletter.

Example:
"Hey [Name]! This week’s Creator Pulse newsletter just dropped — here’s what’s inside:
📈 Why micro-habits beat big goals
💡 2 real-life income case studies
⏱️ 3 free tools that save an hour a day
Read the full issue here → [Link]"

3. Invite Feedback and Gauge Interest

After they’ve had time to click and read, send a follow-up DM asking for their opinion or if they’d like more content like this in future editions.

Example:
"What did you think? Want my deep-dive on the micro-habits I mentioned this week?"

4. Email Collection Step

If the contact says yes, check if their email is already on your CRM (you can do this by checking if the contact property matches the email condition):

  • If yes → Confirm they’re set and let them know when to expect the next edition.
  • If no → Prompt them to share their email so they can receive future issues and other exclusive resources.

5. Follow-Up for Non-Clickers or No Response

If they don’t click the link or respond within 3–6 days, send a friendly reminder.
Example:
"Don’t miss this week’s newsletter — it’s packed with tips you can use today."
