Over 300 billion emails are sent daily.

Few are worth your attention.

How do you stand out?

THREAD: A newsletter framework everyone should model after.

I've sent over 100,000,000 marketing emails in my career.

I've subscribed to hundreds of newsletters.

Alex Garcia's (@alexgarcia_atx) "Marketing Examined" newsletter checks all the boxes.

Let's break down 5 ways he's able to cut through the noise 👇

1/ He stands out in the inbox

Two tactics:

1. The signature emoji 🔍

It's memorable and makes it easy to find his emails.

2. The profile gif

He is the only person in my inbox that has this.

Unique and hard to miss.

2/ He focuses on deliverability

In his first email, he asks for a 5-second favor:

Reply "Yes" to the email.

This action sends a strong signal to inbox providers.

It helps prove he is a reputable sender.

And ensures good deliverability (and open rates) in the future.

3/ He's consistent

Every Thursday he sends the "Thursday Teardown."

It includes:
• A great marketing campaign
• Broken down into digestible parts
• With actionable advice you can use in your own marketing campaigns

(The teardown concept was the inspiration for this thread).

4/ He makes it easy to read

There is rarely a block of text longer than 2 lines.

Everything is short. quick. to the point.

But still value-packed.

This formatting makes it really easy to digest the content.

5/ He balances text and visuals

Every newsletter has a natural flow of visuals + body copy.

The visuals paint the picture and often call out key points (see below).

The body copy hammers home the main takeaways.

My Takeaways:
