The problem it solves

Putting together a weekly promo email means pulling current sale items, writing it up, and sending it out to your list, which eats up hours you don't have for a task that repeats every single week. Skip a week and your subscribers forget you're running sales at all.

Who it fits

E-commerce store owners who run weekly promotions and want a newsletter that goes out without them touching it.

How it works

  1. Runs every Sunday morning
  2. Pulls the current on-sale products from your store's search index
  3. Builds a formatted HTML newsletter with images, prices, and descriptions
  4. Pulls your latest subscriber list from a spreadsheet
  5. Sends the newsletter to every subscriber through Gmail
