I just read a blog post from someone in my industry (The Money Making Esthetician) in which she discussed Newsletter Fatigue. She acknowledged that there's no universal rule but shared these suggestions:
Service-Based Businesses: 1-4 times per month
E-Commerce and Retail: 1-2 times per week
Educational and/or Community-Based Businesses: Weekly or biweekly

Curious from both an entrepreneur AND a consumer perspective...thoughts?

Sounds like good timelines for each. The fatigue is real, and I end up unsubscribing when I get too many of them clogging up my inbox. Plus, something to say about content, if it isn’t valuable, I won’t keep it for long either.

Excellent insight. Thank you!

In my view, content matters more than frequency.

As a customer, I get emails from Old Navy almost daily. I don’t open them all, but there’s no way I’m unsubscribing. I buy a lot there, especially for my daughter, so I’m happy to see them in my inbox. Just yesterday, though, I did a massive unsubscribe from other clothing brands. It didn’t matter that they emailed less; it mattered that I didn’t want what they were offering anymore.

As a business owner, I’ve ditched the newsletter completely. My business is mostly referral- and relationship-based, and after reading Referral of a Lifetime (a bit dated in examples, but the ideas are solid), I’m setting up my email backend to send a welcome sequence to new "subscribers" (people that I connect with online or in-person) and then personalized check-ins—monthly for some people, quarterly for others based on the relationship. That feels much more natural for me.

So you might not need a newsletter at all. It’s about what works for you, your business, and your life.

That sounds similar to where I feel I’ve landed (although much less intentionally). I’d love to hear more on that backend sequence!
