inWarning: Do not try to bake a cake in a glass bowl unless you are ready for a mess

inRant: My local coffee shop's email list is just a weekly menu...
Open rates tank because a PDF menu is just a digital flyer. People delete it. The owner needs to put one human thing in the text of the email itself. A single line about why they picked this week's roast, or a funny thing that happened Tuesday. Makes it feel like a note from a person, not a spam bot.
