Promotional Email Survival Guide: How to Cut Through the Inbox Noise

If you’re anything like most business owners, you fall into one of two camps when it comes to planning.

You either love this time of year. Colour-coded calendars, big ideas, all the optimism.

Or you’ve gone the opposite way and decided to wing it because planning never seems to stick anyway.

Both approaches sabotage your email marketing.

In this episode, we’re talking about the middle ground. The kind of planning that gives you clarity and momentum without boxing you in. And the key dos & don’ts that help email stay consistent & purposeful. Plus get that all important engagement & sales.

You’ll learn:
Why starting from scratch every year is exhausting and unnecessary
How to plan your emails without locking yourself into rigid schedules
What to focus on first so you are not drowning in email projects
How to avoid shiny objects and keep email aligned with your actual goals
How to keep your plan realistic, achievable AND flexible

Plus my approach to planning each year, each quarter and each month.

The big reframe: planning is not about controlling every email you will send. It is about creating enough structure to support consistency, while still leaving space for real life, data, and opportunities to guide you.
