am i the only one who’s already tired on a monday? i hope not
but okay today’s newsletter edition is a controversial one
should you optimise for clicks or retention
context:
The best marketing ideas come from marketers who live it.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
The Marketing Millennials is a look inside what’s working right now for other marketers. No theory. No fluff. Just real insights and ideas you can actually use—from marketers who’ve been there, done that, and are sharing the playbook.
Every newsletter is written by Daniel Murray, a marketer obsessed with what goes into great marketing. Expect fresh takes, hot topics, and the kind of stuff you’ll want to steal for your next campaign.
Because marketing shouldn’t feel like guesswork. And you shouldn’t have to dig for the good stuff.
same newsletter. everything controlled but one gets nearly double the clicks. how?
clicky stuff in the first section vs last
yup you read that right
with the database size of half a million folks and doing 2 editions a week in a crowded space what do you prefer? a newsletter where you have news / useful guides in the first scroll or the meat / a research section you spent hours working on in the first scroll
most people would say the latter (authors) but ofc, most of you would say the former
the reason why i say the latter is because most of you once you get redirected to a website are most likely not going to come back to the newsletter (my bet is 70%)
so the larger section just went in vain
but then the issue is all sponsors prefer higher ctrs higher ctrs are more flexible and shows more intent
so what do you really do?
i think mix
keep one newsletter more curation one more creation
one where you just put a ton of links and let people choose one where there is just one cta at the end
reason? it balances the metrics but also shows advertisers you are capable of clicks but you prefer sometimes to let people just appreciate the effort you put into writing
what team are you? |
The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
See you in July!
