How do I create welcome series with progressive discounts?

I'm struggling to design an effective welcome series for new email subscribers that encourages them to make their first purchase without devaluing my brand. I want a strategic approach that gradually introduces discounts, builds excitement, and motivates customers to convert without seeming desperate or training them to only buy during promotions. How can I create a welcome series with progressive discounts that feels personalized, valuable, and drives meaningful engagement?
