(Free download) Ready Made Demand: The Retention Marketer's Guide to Cashing in on The Calendar - https://ecomemailmarketer.com/ready-made-demand Right now your customers are rebuilding their whole routine, and almost no brand is marketing to it. In this episode of Send It, Jimmy and Chase break down how to own a seasonal moment even if you've never sold a school supply in your life. Using back to school as the case study, a $147 billion season and the second biggest of the year, they lay out what actually makes a "moment," the framework for attaching your brand to one without it feeling forced, and the five plays that turn it into revenue. EP 94: The $147B season you're ignoring Here's what they get into:- Why back to school is a mindset, not a date, and the second New Year for your list- The three things that make a moment worth stealing- The stretch test for attaching your brand without it feeling forced- The five plays: bundles, routine stories, segmentation, urgency, and offers- The timing calendar, and why the moment already started back in July Thank you our friends at Omnisend and eCom Email Certified for sponsoring the podcast!
