Week 10 Part A: Researching Email Marketing

 How I’d Use Newsletters for My Brand

After watching the lecture, I’ve realized newsletters can be a powerful way to connect with my audience beyond social media. For Coco Shuffles, I think a monthly newsletter would be the right balance—enough to stay consistent without overwhelming my subscribers.

I’d use the newsletter to share exclusive dance tips, tutorial previews, behind-the-scenes moments, upcoming classes or drops, and personal notes about the journey of building my brand. I could also include feature spotlights on followers who tag me or share their progress using my tutorials—it builds community and shows appreciation.

Here are some content ideas I think my audience would enjoy:

  • “Move of the Month” – A short breakdown of one shuffle move with tips

  • Exclusive dance challenges or contests

  • Mini motivational notes to keep people inspired

  • First access to merch, events, or tutorials

  • Curated playlists for dancing or working out

I’m on a few mailing lists now and I’ve noticed the best ones are simple, visual, and not too long. The ones I ignore are either too text-heavy or don’t feel personal. I’d want mine to feel like an inside look into Coco Shuffles—not just a sales pitch.

If I decide to go all in with email marketing, I’ll definitely subscribe to newsletters from other dance creators or small brands to see what they’re doing right—and how I can make mine stand out.
