There isn't one!
The days of the restaurant newsletter are gone. People are overwhelmed with messages from so many places and channels.
How do you make your email stand out? Short and sweet. If you were to put in as much effort crafting 3 to 5 memorable sentences as you do 3 -5 paragraphs of text, you would see an increase in engagement.
Don't believe it?
Test it.
Send half your list a long-form email with a link to a contest at the bottom.
