New Year, New Opportunities (and a new blog).

Hey, it’s Jacob from CopyGen!

New Year, New Opportunities (and a new blog).


Let’s kick off the year by clearing out some winter inventory with a standout email campaign strategy.

Email Campaign Calendars

An effective email campaign calendar keeps your audience engaged while driving steady revenue. A strategic calendar will:

  • Maintain engagement without overwhelming your subscribers

  • Offer a balanced mix of valuable content, promotions, and storytelling

  • Build momentum for upcoming product launches and events

Setting Goals and Strategy

Let’s take Hydro Flask as an example to plan their calendar. We want to achieve four key goals:

  1. Engagement: Reconnect with the audience after the holidays.

  2. Revenue: Clear out inventory with targeted promotions.

  3. Education: Establish Hydro Flask as the go-to brand for style and hydration this year.

  4. Brand Building: Share user-generated content and highlight eco-friendly initiatives.
