Is word of mouth advertising a thing of the past? In truth, it will never be so long as family and friends continue to share their favorite stores, products or restaurants over the dinner table.
But for a business, the real question is: “is it scalable?”
In short, the answer is yes. Morning Brew offers young professionals and business owners entertaining and valuable news through their daily newsletter, digital community and podcast. With 2.5 million active subscribers and a daily open rate of 40% (roughly 1 million readers per day), Morning Brew also picks up an estimated 1,000 new subscribers every day (AppSumo) thanks to their referral program.
