Let's get real personal....

Hello there, Reader, Sorry for the short email today, I am having surgery this upcoming week on my parathyroid. After 9 years and 12 kidney stone surgeries, I finally got answers on why my body kept making kidney stones (too big to pass). I’ll be out for at least a week while I recover, so I’ll be leaning on my team to support clients during that time. Here’s hoping the surgery goes smoothly! Speaking of leaning on your team, you can think of your email provider as part of yours. It’s packed...

These are the good old days....

Hello there, Reader, We are about a month into hockey practice. My kids are working so hard, and I am impressed with their work ethic. Proud hockey mom moment! 🏒 This year, we joined a new team, Team Cleveland, which means lots of travel ahead—Buffalo, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Pittsburgh are all on the schedule. I’m excited for the games, the adventures, and all the fun family weekends that come with hockey. (Yes, I totally count tournaments as family vacations!) My husband is deep into...

Did you turn this on?

Hello there, Reader, I did two email migration switches from Kit to Flodesk last week, and it reminded me of something important. (If you’re thinking about switching, now’s a great time to lock in unlimited and snag half off with my code!) Make sure to turn on double opt-in for every form. It’s a simple step, but so important, especially if you have customers around the world. Plus, it’s just good practice for keeping your email list in great shape. With Flodesk, you have to turn it on; it...

What happens when you acutally email regularly...

Hey Reader, I see you. You’ve got the ideas, the offers, and the drive. You can write the emails. But let me guess—you’re not showing up in inboxes consistently. Not because you don’t know what to say.Not because you’re not good at this.But because you don’t have a plan. And with fall and the holidays about to pile on a million more to-dos (school drop-offs, sports, events, launches, the works), the last thing you need is to spend hours staring at a blank calendar wondering, “What do I send...

Unlimited Flodesk is going away.

Hello there, Reader, I'm reaching out with some urgent news. Flodesk is sunsetting its Unlimited plan, which means the chance to get unlimited emails and unlimited subscribers for one flat rate is about to disappear.

Switch to Flodesk

I saved a client $6,000 this year!

Hello there, Reader, I recently transitioned my other business to Flodesk, and I’m absolutely loving it! As a certified Flodesk Pro, I’ve been managing multiple email platform migrations over the past few weeks. Plus, many more scheduled in the coming months. One of my clients even shared that she’s saving $6,000 a year after making the switch to Flodesk! Don’t Just Take My Word for It… I can’t share all the details just yet, but if you’ve been thinking about switching to Flodesk, now is the...
