I've seen a lot of different opinions on follow-ups. Some people stop after the first email, while others have sequences with five or more touchpoints.
 
Depend on what you offer if you have a shop with products that are different you may send more follow up after follow up but if you have an unique service typically a follow up is enough to see if they have any interest or no

That's a good point. The type of offer definitely changes the strategy. I also think the quality of each follow-up matters more than the number. A relevant second or third message can outperform a long sequence of generic reminders.

Yes peoples will get anoyed if is a service for example that is same and try to sell each time to them if is more variants of the products/services may be less anoying and may get actual customers that have interest otherwise is waste of time .....
 
I send at least 1, depends on what it's for and the type of list I am sending it to though..
 
In my experience, One email is realy enough. A couple of polite follow ups often get replies from people who were simply busy the first time around.
 
Sometimes no follow-up is better than another follow-up. If there isn't anything new to say, Waiting a few weeks and reaching out with a Different angle can be more effective.
 
If someone sends more than 1 follow-up, I'm blocking the contact and reporting as spam

2 - 3 follow ups is usually enough. After that, if there's still no reply, it's probably better to move on.
 
I usually send three emails total. Initial outreach, a follow up 3-4 days later, then a final one about a week after that.

If there is still no reply I move them to a separate list and come back a couple of months later with a different angle.

What moved my reply rate wasn't the number though. It was making the second email say something new. The ones I delete without reading are always the "just bumping this" type. Same pitch, resent.
