I thought this would be a fun challenge for me and a great demonstration that you can indeed write an email using any idea.
So what’s the topic, you ask?
80’s fashion
This topic came up because we had an 80’s themed summer party yesterday (Which is why I didn’t send out an email then).
I personally didn’t dress up. I didn’t know what 80’s clothing looked like, and when I looked it up, they were clothing that I just didn’t have in my wardrobe.
I mostly saw neon colored clothing, but there were other trends that defined 80’s fashion too like:
1. Crazy hair (Perms, mullets, side ponytails)
2. Ripped jeans
3. Leg warmers
4. High-waist jeans
5. Spandex
Some trends have died as time went on, and rightfully so.
(If you’re still rocking with a mullet or wearing spandex outfits in public, you need help)
But there are glimpses of 80’s-inspired fashion that I still see ‘til this day, at least in my experience.
I find it even more fascinating how there are some trends that don’t seem to die.
And a lot of them are pretty basic, or if you want to see it another way, foundational clothing.
You have the jeans, watches, high heels, button up shirts, and pretty much any clothing that’s black.
To be more specific:
You have different types of jeans. Baggy, skinny, ripped, bootcut, straight, etc.
Some will be popular for a while, some will die. But one thing’s for sure, you’re always going to see jeans.
Similarly in marketing:
It seems like marketing trends differ every year. Influencer marketing exists now, anything artificial intelligence related is now a thing, and there are webinars and other virtual events.
But one thing about marketing that’s never going to change is the art of persuasion. Whether it’s text or video, you have to learn how to be persuasive in order to get people interested in whatever product or service you’re promoting.
It’s especially useful when it comes to writing emails, which you can learn more about here:
