The monthly newsletter, drafted
Today
Each month you stare at a blank template in Cardly, trying to remember what happened that customers would care about. The newsletter goes out late, or not at all.
With Flann
“Draft this month’s newsletter in Cardly: new autumn menu, the quiz night and our Sunday opening.”
Flann writes the newsletter in your voice, uses a layout you have sent before from Cardly and offers a choice of subject lines. It saves nothing yet.
What you stop doing: No more blank template at the end of the month.
Reusing the post that worked
Today
When a post or email does well, you mean to reuse it. Finding it again in Cardly and reworking it for another channel keeps slipping down the list.
With Flann
“What was our best post last month in Cardly? Turn it into an email.”
Looking through last month’s results in Cardly, Flann finds the strongest post and explains, in a sentence, why it probably landed. Then it reworks the idea as an email draft.
What you stop doing: Good ideas get a second life instead of a single outing.
