Ah, October. Did you know that this is one of my favorite months of the year, especially living in Northeast Ohio? The temperatures finally start to drop, the skies tend to clear from their summer clouds (and before the winter rains!), and the leaves turn a distinctive "fruity peoples" conglomeration of colors. Oh, and it's sweater season! Really, what's not to love?!...

It's PSL season, y'all! Grab your cozy sweaters, warm scarves, and calf boots – even you, dudes – because it's time to go pumpkin pickin' and leaf peepin'. Okay, yes, it's September – and yes it's autumn in the Northern Hemisphere – but that's not all you can talk about in September... despite what so many brands and companies are messaging right now...

While we often think of August as the heart of summer, it's really a month of transition. Sure it might be hot and humid for most of the month, but it also signals the end of the season – and you might even start to feel the dreaded back-to-school traffic slump before it's all over. What better way to try and insulate yourself than by emailing your subscribers...

As the heat of July rolls in, it’s a perfect time to add a dash of summer zest to your newsletter content. Whether it’s sharing tips for beating the heat, showcasing summer product launches, or simply sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of your team's summer activities, July is ripe with opportunities for engaging newsletter content. Remember, the goal is to create a sense of community, offer value, and most importantly, ensure your brand stays top of mind in a fun, relevant way...

As we usher in June, a month synonymous with the vibrancy of summer, the possibilities for your newsletter content bloom like flowers in the sun. (Assuming you're in the northern hemisphere, of course! I've got some ideas for southern hemisphere folks too...)

After last month's "April Showers," it's time for the good stuff: May flowers, sunshine, and the impending summer season (at least in the northern hemisphere; you down south are bundling up for winter!). May is generally a pretty good month to be a blogger or site owner: it's usually the start of the lucrative summer season with high traffic and high ad revenues. We've gotta take advantage of that and bring our most devoted readers back – and that means email...

"April showers" might be what we think of, but I personally love April: it's a month where life returns to the world in the part of it I call home. Flowers bloom, the sun returns, the temperatures warm, and it's my birthday month! (Okay, maybe that makes me partial to April a bit more than most people...)
