Email newsletters are one of the fastest growing products in student media. It’s a direct channel to your audience on campus and one of the most sought after products national buyers are looking for. The Newsletter Bootcamp is designed to help your publication launch a newsletter this school year, or grow and optimize your existing newsletter product.

Over the semester, we will host a series of newsletter-focused webinars and 1-on-1 coaching sessions tailored to your unique newsletter goals and objectives.

The five webinar sessions:‍

• Newsletters 101: How to launch a newsletter from scratch
• Newsletters 102: What to put in your newsletter
• Newsletters 201: Growing your subscriber list
• Newsletters 202: Improving your open + engagement rates
• Newsletters 203: Monetizing your newsletter

The Bootcamp: ‍

In addition to attending the webinars, you will receive a total of four hours of 1-on-1 coaching sessions with Flytedesk’s newsletter experts. During these sessions, we will cover your specific newsletter goals. Want to dive deeper into growing engagement or subscriber rates? Need more direct support to get your product off the ground? Ready to talk about how to monetize your product?

We are offering only 10 spots!

*This program is specifically made for organizations starting or revamping their first email newsletter. If you have one or more thriving newsletter products, this may not be for you. However, our team is ready to meet with you at any time to provide support on your newsletter journey. Please contact your account manager to learn more.
