Here's what I'm seeing regarding email marketing and copywriting this week. This edition is full of tips and resources. So without further ado, let's dive in:     Email Campaign Idea - The Blog Plug Email: - Email Examples: - [The Blog Plug Email Example 1]( - [The Blog Plug Email Example 2](   - Purpose/Context of Email: If you're wondering if people still care about blogs and read them every day, the answer is yes. They do. People love blogs when it comes to exploring and learning about products they're interested in. You still have to make the blog...not boring...but if you achieve that, you'll have an audience of well-educated customers who really understand your product. Most importantly, you have a ton of new customers after the BFCM rush. They need to know what you're all about. Tell them. [Example 1]( is from Beardbrand, one of my favs in the DTC world currently. This email is solid, because instead of just highlighting one blog post (which is fine, too), they did somewhat of a monthly wrap-up. They can entertain and educate new customers with all of the most important points for the month all at once. If you wanna learn how to write a great blog post, read Beardbrand. They're super funny and make it fun for the audience. Great job here. [Example 2]( is from Monos, and this one is pretty cool. The tone of voice is cool, the imagery is cool, but...I have no idea what the copy is talking about here. I'm sure this makes sense to their audience or anyone with a little bit of context, but as a non-customer, this copy is super confusing to me and doesn't inspire me to click. I'm using this email as an example of what not to do. Take inspo from the imagery, because it looks great, but not clear what they want you to learn about. Make sure you're very direct with your audience about what they're about to read.  - Segment(s): - Your engaged segment  - Subject Line Idea: - NEW BLOG POST! - You got a spare minute? - (firstname), this blog is for you  - Preview Text Idea: - Come check it! - Come read this blog real quick. - See what's inside.     Sponsor of the Week:  One big thing I'm leaning into right now is trying to line up as many talented people to work with this quarter as possible. There are an insane amount of opportunities on my plate, and now it's just a matter of getting the right people into the right seats to get the tasks at hand done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I'm doing most of my hiring through [MarketerHire]( for both freelance marketer and marketing assistant-type roles.
