Last year, I fell in love with a 30-day yoga challenge. It helped center me and got me moving after a spell in the fitness relocation program.
This daily practice was warm and nurturing and loving. I became obsessed (which happens to me a lot because adhd) with the program and subscribed as a paying member of this yoga community.
Then, one day, I got an autoresponder about my subscription. And it didn’t sit right…
Where’s the personality? The warmth? The love?
There’s nothing there to suggest I was paying to be a member of a beautiful, rejuvenating, nurturing daily yoga community. No mention of the benefits, or what I’d be missing out on if I didn’t keep it up.
That email was just plain cold. It was obviously a canned message that nobody took the time to edit.

When starting a business, most people understand the importance of establishing a visual brand… the way your business will look. But the same amount of thought doesn’t always go into how that business will sound.

For anyone who was not a child of the 80s, may I bring you… context:
