If you're listening to this right now, in our current situation, one of the best things you can do is revisit what your marketing calendar looks like for the next year. I think people right now are hoping this is a short term thing. Which hopefully it is, but it's certainly going to impact how we communicate with people long term. So I think people's inboxes are still going to be overflowing. I think we're still gonna be inundated with content as we move forward out of this. So pare down what you're doing to the most essential value and the unique value you that can drive for your customers and then make sure that you have a way to track that. That's your analytics conversation to make sure that you're seeing what's coming from your efforts.
