Heard a guy at the coffee shop say email marketing is dead, so I looked it up.

Turns out his company was just sending boring, samey emails once a month. I read a case study where a small shop in Portland tripled their open rate by sending funny, useful stories instead of just sales stuff. Anyone else find that personal tone makes a huge difference?

Once a month? That's barely even trying.

That Portland story is spot on. The problem is rarely the tool itself, but how it's used. Sending useful stuff people actually want to read changes everything.

Yeah, focusing on value made all the difference for me too.

So what makes something actually useful to read?
