Marketing by hammer method
200+ annually 4 per week
1 every 1.8 days
@LorenMcDonald
Why do we do this?
Every time an email dings, an email marketer gets her wings!
While it works, this batch and blast approach is a
“hope” strategy.
@LorenMcDonald
So you have to ask yourself …
@LorenMcDonald
Do I feel lucky?
Well do ya, email
marketers?
It is time for a shift in thinking …
To focus on what the customer wants to buy,
not just what we want to sell.

These marketers all have a few things in common …
@LorenMcDonald

They didn’t try to be perfect …
They took baby steps …
They crawled, walked and then Ran.
So don’t freak out … you can do this …
You go here!
… and spend more time on the beach!
