Your brand is your customer’s reaction to your emails

Your brand is your customer’s reaction whenever they get one of your marketing emails.

Your brand isn’t your logo. It’s not your font, your color scheme, or the clever subject line you wrote last week.

That’s your brand-ing.

Your brand is the reaction your customer has the moment they see your name in their inbox.

Do they smile?

Do they ignore?

Do they tap it right away or let it sit?

Do they think, “What now?” or “Can’t wait to read this”?

Do they hear a voice or just see noise?

Do they miss your weekly mid-day Monday email when it’s just a few minutes late arriving?

That reaction — automatic, emotional, unfiltered — is your real brand.

So, every email you send isn’t just a message. It’s a deposit (or withdrawal) in the trust bank. It’s a moment to either build momentum or make them feel like they’ve seen it all before.

Keep showing up. Keep being worth opening. It takes 1 year to build trust in the inbox, and only 1 selfish email to destroy all of that trust.

That’s how you build a brand that lasts.
