How do I create effective welcome email series for new subscribers?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to create a welcome email series that actually converts new subscribers into customers. I've tried generic welcome emails, but they feel impersonal and don't seem to drive meaningful engagement. I want to design a strategic email sequence that introduces my brand, builds trust, showcases my products, and ultimately encourages the first purchase. What are the best practices for crafting a welcome email series that feels authentic and drives real results?
