Readers value quality content. Even readers who are still in the “try-before-you-buy” mode expect to get more than a little something for nothing. They know you want them to subscribe—but you don’t have to hammer them with that fact with every email.

Content is king, and you should take the opportunity to show prospects some of the premium content that awaits them when they become subscribers. But before you get to your sales pitch, offer an appetizer of quality content—just enough to leave them hungry for more. With more showing and less selling upfront, you establish your value and credibility before making the ask.

In Mequoda Pro’s In-Depth Tutorial on the Collection Preview Framework, we show you how you can craft an editorially-driven email that practically sells itself by showcasing captivating content. Of course, Marketing 101 still says that you’re not going to get to Yes! unless you ask, so we show you how and when to get to that.

A Mequoda-style Collection Preview Framework offers a hefty serving of quality content before getting to the inevitable, expected point enticing the prospect to become a subscriber. Our tutorial on a Mequoda-style Collection Preview Framework features Yankee Magazine’s top-performing preview, to show you how quality content can compel conversion in a Collection Preview Framework.

This Template Tutorial is more than a step-by-step guide for building your own effective Collection Preview Framework — we provide you a disciplined checklist of every important element so you won’t miss anything critical.

Maybe you’re bristling at the thought of giving away your premium content. The truth is, you’re not — you’re serving up savory appetizers that the prospect can enjoy, but leaving them wanting more. This Collection Preview Framework, when properly designed and deployed, is a real-life example of how to put the focus on your content and save the sales pitch for later.

We’re reviewing Yankee Magazine, which is New England’s premier source of information about all things New England — travel advice, restaurant recommendations, day trip ideas, fall foliage tours, and more. Yankee has a deep well of content with a robust menu of themes. Each collection Yankee creates focuses on a particular theme or place. By offering just a taste of what’s in a featured collection, they draw the prospects deep into the topic — and then make the ask. It may feel counterintuitive to put so much content up-front, but when you read the Template Tutorial on the Collection Preview Framework, you’ll see what makes it so effective.

In this Template Tutorial for a Collection Preview Framework, you’ll discover:

  • What are the key components of a Collection Preview Framework?

  • And more!

With this Template Tutorial, you get a printable checklist for ensuring that you always follow best practices when developing your own Collection Preview Framework.
