AM Inbox: Every snowflake is unique

The Retail Email Blog monitors the email marketing campaigns of more than 100 top online retailers. Here are highlights from my inbox this morning:

Northern Tool, 11/12 — Free Gift Card + Over 2,300 Products On Sale‏
Last December, fellow Smith-Harmonites Lisa Harmon and Alex Madison wrote a fun blog post about all the different renderings of snowflakes in email creatives. One of my favorites last year was from Sony, which created snowflakes from electronics devices like cameras and candy like candy canes. So far this year, the tool-flakes in this Northern Tool email are at the top of my list of favorites. Plus, the bow made from the tie-down is genius. Delight lives in small details like these.

 I love Smith-Harmon's enthusiasm. It's so great to have a connection with people who really "get" and get excited by email marketing. (Truly, there are not that many of us out there!) I count myself very lucky to have found such accomplished enthusiasts to collaborate with on the REI program. They are helping to bring amazing opportunities to fruition with panache.
