Some Marketing Stuff, and a Bitcoin Update

Like here Tiffany mentioned trying to do that on their app, during an interview with Adweek, about how they've tried to stay up to date with trends, and avoid growing stale ...

And then after reading the Adweek article about how they keep an eye out for what's working for others, started to notice emails with fresh eyes - kind of interesting to see which ads manage to catch one's attention ... and which ones maybe miss the mark? Like here's an ad that actually arrived in my inbox, looking like this - the company may have applied for protection from creditors a while back, so guess this might help explain why they might be struggling?
On the other hand, here's one that caught my eye - don't really eat much take-out, and don't watch any of those shows ... but it seemed like such a neat idea for Uber and ABC to pair up? And they painted such a lovely picture of a cozy evening at home
Also they used so few words too ...
And then here's one that got me to click on the link - award-winning wines for $7 a bottle ... yum!!
The description on the order page started off so well - and then the ad started to feel really infomercial-like pretty fast
Wonder if maybe adjectives can make a real difference when used sparingly - but maybe when they're used too much, it can start to feel way over the top?
It seems like there's been so much research done on how to send emails - guess it's kind of neat to see how people are using those ideas when they send stuff out?
Bitcoin Update
In other news, apparently people in China have moved their Bitcoin trades to peer-to-peer networks, so the closing of the exchanges may not have as big an effect after all, even if they do close? Which was supposed to happen by the end of the month, but didn't?
Guess my big mistake was not selling my short according to plan after Bitcoin passed the $3.6k mark on day two - and then probably my bigger mistake was not selling it on day three, after the plan went to pot? May just sell it tomorrow and take the loss ... and then probably the price will drop and will wish had just held onto it after all
Sometimes maybe it's not so bad to have a fail (or two) - if they happen now, and it helps make it possible to doing something better the next time around? Next time will have to make a plan, and stick to it
Going to bed now
