Make your emails easy to skim.
Provide the most important points—link out to in-depth resources.

Example:
@whereby
Tip:
Answer "what's in it for me?"

Explanation:
Make the value of reading your email very obvious. Encourage opens by piquing curiosity about what's inside.

Example:
@literati
Tip:
Include an employee's name & your brand name in the "From" field

Explanation:
Gives your reader context. Send from different employees depending on the context (ex. sales, customer success, announcements).

70% of ecommerce carts are abandoned.

Solution: Answer "why buy now?" when their buying intent remains extremely high.

THREAD: 7 tactics to grow your newsletter 👇

Ours has 40k subs with a 50% open rate.

Here's how:
People reflexively ignore welcome emails after signup.

But, if people open your welcome emails, they're more likely to consistently open your newsletters.

Try this:

• Delay welcome email by 45min to bypass this reflex
• Send the email from a person—not the business Image
When pitching your newsletter on your site:

• Show a sample issue on the page. Prove that your content is high quality.

• Give them control over how often they get emailed. Some want weekly, but others want monthly. High volume can burn you and your readers out. Image

We have 30,000 marketers in our community.

THREAD: 9 growth tactics they continuously recommend.

(On emails, ads, copywriting, TikTok, and more)
1) With referrals, most users don't care about earning a bit of cash.

Instead, try rewarding users with more access to the CORE PRODUCT.

E.g. When you invite someone to Dropbox, you're rewarded w/ extra storage. Storage is what people signed up for—give them more of it 👇
1b) If you can't reward with more access to your core product, then the cash reward must be significant:

• Physical goods: Offer the product for free once someone refers 5 other customers.
• Subscription services: Offer the service for free for ~ 3 months. Not just one month.

I run a group of 700+ VCs and angel investors.

How to pitch them:
First, context:

• These are not ironclad rules.
• Not every great startup has the same journey. Breakouts are often outliers.
• This is not *at all* an exhaustive list of how to pitch a startup.

These are select *reminders* that the group's investors wanted to highlight.
On a call, you don’t need a strong opening hook—although it helps.

What's important is opening with a clear, concise explanation of:

• What you do
• Why it’s likely to be successful
• Why now's the time to do it
• Who you are

Do not bury these details in a long backstory.

Social proof can double your website conversion.

THREAD: How to get social proof that grows your startup.
The psychology:

When people are uncertain, they look to others for behavioral guidance.

Smart marketers figure out the uncertainties of their customers and then add social proof at the right time and place.
When quality social proof reduces uncertainty, you're likely to see strong conversion lifts—we've seen up to 400% improvement.

The #1 question we're asked at Demand Curve:

How do I hire a top 1% growth marketer?

THREAD: Here's how.
Imporant: There's more than one way to crack this. But this is what we've seen work for *early-stage* founders making their *first* growth hire.
Here's the roadmap:

1. Decide on the type of marketer (contractor, FTE, agency)
2. Decide on generalist vs. specialist
3. Find 'em
4. Test 'em
5. Then build a growth team

Some of the smartest eCom marketers we know let us in on a secret...

They're (quietly) all in on influencer marketing.

THREAD: Here’s how they’re doing it 👇
1) Brands that win with influencer marketing figured something out:

They realized that they get a higher ROI when they create campaigns that make their influencers feel like they're promoting THEMSELVES.
...Here's how:

• Start small: Run giveaways with your influencers. Let them provide value (free product) to their audiences

• Then scale: Create products with your best, long-term influencers—they're brand ambassadors. Run a collab. Get them to invest in your brand
