The Knowledge Base

🤯Mind-blowing details on a giant website migration

14 Big-boy blogs doing blogging right

📑Quick book excerpt - Non-Obvious Thinking 

Now, does this…

Sound familiar?

You pop open Gmail, and you have a long list of emails to go through. Then a new email pops into your inbox. You likely open that new email rather than the long list of older emails, right? 

Inbox Mailers harnesses this inbox habit for email marketers. Rather than send an email blast to your entire list at once, you can send triggered emails to the subscribers that are actively in their inbox. 

This strategy can lead to open rates of up to 70%, triple your click volume, and increase inbox placement rates! Book a Free Demo to start ramping up your email revenue.

Self-Help

Seems like yesterday we had 50th birthday parties for my Dad and Mom. Last Friday, we went to my friend’s 50th birthday party - he’s a month older than me. Time flies.

The only thing I’ve found that slows time down is… being a kid in school. Can’t wait for summer and Christmas. 

You’re grown, though. So the only thing to try is focusing on each moment. This seems to extend time or at least stretch the enjoyment of it.

*Extra self-help (for me): Please advise coworkers to stop letting AI stick the word “Demystified” in every freaking article title. Thanks for your help - I’m gonna lose it if I see “demystified” one more time this week🥴.

Get Hacking

A specific strategy to implement today

Time to review your ESP (email service provider) to see if you need a break! Could be time to move on to a new email marketing platform.

I’ve used a few ESPs in my time, and I’m not easily impressed. But Beehiiv has been really easy to get up to speed on. Plus, it has tons of fresh features (the ad network is very cool and holds lots of growth and revenue potential for newsletters). 

This isn’t a pitch to use Inbox Hacking’s affiliate link to Beehiiv. I didn’t even use our link back there. I just think it’s worth a look if your ESP isn’t blowing you away with function or features lately.

Share Inbox Hacking with your marketing peeps. The pups and I thank you.
