Good evening!
If you’re planning on flying domestic this year, you may find less route options than usual.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🏢 Google Might Lay Off Remote Workers Over Lack of Return to Office
Would you rather go into the office three days a week or risk losing your job?

2. 🥱 Email & SMS Marketing so good, it’s boring
Let’s be real. Email marketing is not the “sexiest” member of the marketing family. And that’s okay. As a business owner, you have enough “exciting” stuff happening. Let Omnisend be the reliable, stable and effective platform you don’t need to worry about.
No guessing whether that marketing campaign will pay off. Brands using Omnisend on average make $68 for every $1 spent.
No need to learn anything new here. A platform so boringly intuitive, it’s like you designed it yourself.
No venturing into the great unknown. Our support team is available 24/7 to make sure you don’t have any unwanted adventures.
Same same, but for less. Get everything you expect from other platforms, except for those rollercoaster prices that make your heart race.
