June kept the momentum going; great member conversations, a packed webinar, and some content worth bookmarking.
Fun Friday: Invent a Holiday
This one delivered. Abigail asked everyone to make up a completely random holiday and add it to the calendar, and replies poured in. 53 comments later, we had everything from "National Inbox Zero Day" to some truly unhinged takes that we'll let you discover on your own. If you missed it, go read the thread. It's a good one.
Success Comes Through Time
Community member AlbertKaufman shared something simple and genuinely worth reading: years of consistent newsletters turned his contacts into his best referral partners. No hack, no shortcut, just showing up regularly and being yourself. Short post, solid reminder.
A Client's Success Story
KenCountess broke down what happened when he took over a client's struggling email program: inconsistent branding, varying fonts, unpredictable send times, 14-18% open rates. After tightening up the design consistency and cadence? Open rates near 40%, clicks up dramatically. A clean before-and-after that's worth sharing with anyone who thinks their emails "just aren't working."
Sometimes the Littlest Things Make the Biggest Impact
@traceyleedavis shared a quiet moment from a client coaching session that turned into something bigger than email marketing. A reminder that showing up for your clients, really showing up, matters in ways that go beyond the work. Worth a read.
