How can I help you?
🪨 Does your business have an email list but no active game plan? Let’s talk about ways to make it a core part of your marketing strategy.
🐝 I can get you 20% off beehiiv, my favorite place to send newsletters (if you’re still using Mailchimp, I promise this is soooo much better).
P.S. I send this email monthly to past, current, and interested sponsors of NWA Daily and anyone who wants to keep up with our growth, insights, and sponsorship opportunities. If you’re not into that, you can unsubscribe below. Or if you’re not sure how you ended up on this list and were looking for the usual NWA Daily email, you can sign up for that HERE.
