Thank you, and I really like how you put it. 🙌 Yes, that is exactly one of the ideas behind this community: creating a more direct and meaningful way to communicate, share ideas, and discuss practical alternatives. Independence from cloud services, subscriptions, and platforms we don’t fully control is becoming increasingly important. I’m really looking forward to those discussions too. Great to have you here!

The next update should have been released last April. I am late. It is almost finished, though.

That sounds like a great combination — live comedy plus Italian food is very easy to understand and promote. 👍 Since you already have MaxBulk Mailer and MLM working well, I would focus the message on the local experience, not just the event itself: “A fun night out in Old Town Pasadena: live comedy, good Italian food, and a relaxed crowd.” For the audience, I would segment as much as possible: People in or near Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena, Glendale, San Marino, Arcadia, etc. Age 35+ is a good angle, but I would not make the campaign feel “for older people.” I would position it more as: “A smart, fun night out for adults who enjoy good food and live entertainment.” A few practical ideas I got from ChatGPT: 1. Use a very local subject line, something like: “Live comedy night in Old Town Pasadena” or “Dinner + comedy in Pasadena this week”. 2. Mention the food early. Italian food is a strong hook. Many people may react more to “dinner and comedy” than to “comedy show.” 3. Create urgency. Use phrases like: “Limited seating, “Reserve your table”, “This Friday night”, or “Bring a friend.” 4. Send at least two emails: one announcement email, then a reminder closer to the event. For local events, timing matters a lot. 5. Make the call-to-action very clear. One main button or link: Reserve your seat / Get tickets / See event details Also, if you have past attendees, restaurants, local business contacts, or people who clicked on previous entertainment-related emails, I would send them first. That group will probably perform better than a broad cold list. Sounds like a fun campaign — and a perfect use case for MaxBulk Mailer.
