Evergreen Idea: Talking About The Weather
The weather! How boring, right?
While it’s a conversation you have been taught to avoid with friends, family and colleagues, it’s not one to avoid in your email marketing. This is because talking about the weather allows you to form a bond with your local customers, helping them better relate to your products.
For example, if you’re a swimwear brand and the weather has taken a turn for the worse, it doesn't mean your sales need to turn downward. Speaking about how much you love going to the spa or sauna on a cold day can give your customers new ideas and help those sales stay on track!
