Without a strategy, you’re just winging it, and hoping for the best. It’s tough to achieve much success that way. Even harder to sustain it, too. So, why risk failure when you plan to succeed? While hitting your goals is never guaranteed, developing a sound strategy is an essential starting point. Any type of marketing strategy effectively revolves around four ideas:- Who are you trying to reach?
- How will you try to reach them?
- What do you want them to do?
- How will you measure results?

Your email copy needs to be clean, crisp, and persuasive. It also helps to keep your content organized and easy to edit.

- Preheader text.
- Intro copy.
- Lead story content blocks.
- Call to action.
