Would it make sense for a restaurant to send daily email using stories? The stories would revolve around the restaurants&#8217; customers and all of \u00a0the customers would end up at the restaurant for one reason or another. There would be a subtle sales pitch in the middle of each story selling the different parts of the menu.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yep, mail daily fo&#8217; sho&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>But, I would NOT just tell stories.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d switch it up.<\/p>\n<p>A new surprise every day.<\/p>\n<p>Just like I teach in the &#8220;Email Players&#8221; newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>Only I&#8217;d be DOUBLE aggressive sending at least 2 emails 7 days per week &#8212; probably even 3 (one for each meal &#8212; breakfast, lunch, dinner).<\/p>\n<p>More:<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;d be no &#8220;subtle&#8221; pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Screw that sideways.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>There&#8217;s no time to jerk around.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You gotta get those tables reserved.<\/p>\n<p>So, they&#8217;d get a new offer each day.
