Val Geisler - this is not an email about Black Friday

...well, except to share this quick video I saw this week which, if you're working in ecommerce right about now, you're likely feeling the exact same way.

Anywho, for just a minute let's push those feels aside and get something for free, shall we?

Fairly recently (but 3 years ago in covid time), the team at Privy put out a book all about ecommerce marketing. This book is a mashup of industry leaders tapped by the Privy team to share whatever words of wisdom they could. Turned out collectively those words made a book! And your truly is one of those contributors. And I'm on the cover!

It's a really solid book that gives you what you need to know if you run ecommerce and have zero experience with marketing. It also doles out some advice that even season pros can stand to hear (or maybe hear again).

Privy sent me 4 extra copies and I was going to give them away to 4 of you but then my dad found out and thinks I'm famous now and he wants a signed copy so only 3 of you get one. Sorry.

Interested? If you're a US resident*, drop your name and address in this form and I'll have a random generator choose 3 winners.

Oh, and if you want to just go buy your own copy that's cool too! Use the code val10 to get $10 off your book which will make it an entire $5. Best $5 you'll ever spend.

-Val

*sorry to my non-US friends I'll do something for you in the future I promise

PS: My pal Nick Disabato and I have been recording a little something for you. I'll be back on Tuesday to tell you all about it. Right now I'll tell you that it's completely free. Just like the book. If you enter the giveaway.
