Hey Friend, I've put together 3 email campaigns you should send soon. It's a very productive set of campaigns we've got for this week. Lots of important messages, and lots of reasons to reach out to your audience. Don't miss this one. Real quick though, ecommerce logistics isn't dominated by massive 3PLs anymore. Consumers *expect* personalized shopping experiences, and brands *need* specialized fulfillment partners to meet this demand. But in Q4 brands suffered left and right from disruptions caused by their 3PL. There were tons of mistakes happening, and I even heard of three week shipping delays (can you believe this??). Which is why I've been recommending this marketplace to find the right fulfillment partner… and avoid the horror stories. And a solid 3PL is often your "secret sauce" to scale while maintaining your unique brand feel. The issue isn't whether or not a great 3PL actually exists, but knowing where and what to look for (or getting intro'd by a trusted referral). So if you're looking to partner with the best fulfillment center for your brand, use this marketplace and 3PL finder service. sponsored Let's now jump into today's edition: Campaign Idea 1 - The Black History Month Email: - Email Examples:
- The Black History Month Email Example 1 - The Black History Month Email Example 2 - Purpose/Context of Email:
The month of February is dedicated to Black History. I should forewarn you, if you are not a person of color, it's best to consult with a person of color to make sure that you don't misconstrue the message. I've seen many campaigns go wrong because a misguided marketer will say something tone-deaf, which ends up hurting people and harming the brand. Just...be careful. Here are some examples of how to pull it off. Example 1 is from Youth To The People, one of the leading women's skincare brands today. The worst thing you can do during Black History Month is to make it about you. YTTP makes sure that the spotlight is on the people who founded this holiday and made America what it is today. They use appropriate messaging to make absolutely sure that there is no confusion regarding WHO you should be paying attention to. Just shine the spotlight on influential POC, and do not use them to sell any products. Observation. Genuflection. Respect. Capiche? Example 2 is from Blue Mercury, a skincare/makeup blog/affiliate site. Since this is less of a brand and more of a blog, this email is more focused on the POC founders that are featured on the site. Acknowledging POCs in DTC is one of the best ways to go about this, and many brands with POC founders did this properly last year (like Gleamin). If there's anything you take away from this, ensure that you do everything you can to put the spotlight on our POC brothers and sisters in this community. -
