Email Clubs

Email Clubs

Email is one of the most effective ways to stay up to date on sales and discounts going on at your favorite restaurants. We would suggest setting up an email address that you can use exclusively for this purpose so you can avoid having your personal inbox cluttered up with hundreds of promotional emails.

Though the idea of receiving fifty plus emails from stores and restaurants every day may seem overwhelming, it really isn’t. You can usually tell from the subject of the email whether the message actually contains information about a deal or is just advertising the new line of spring fashions. It takes only a few minutes to skim through the emails and delete the ones you’re not interested in. We usually open less than 10% of the promotional emails we receive. And of the ones we do open, we regularly find info about flash sales, two-for-one discounts, etc. at our favorite stores and restaurants.
